Marianna

I don't exactly know when I awoke again, but when I did, I was in the back of a moving car, alone.

I slowly sit up, and instantly a pain shoots up through my neck. I let out a hiss as I rub the sore spot on the left side of my neck.

When I look back up, I lock eyes with a man. His face was unfamiliar.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

"Where am I?" My hoarse voice croaks out

He looks back at the road.

"You are headed to Mr.Silk's residence" He smiply says

I lean back into the seat, slightly confused and sporting a migraine.

I let out a sigh and only then do I notice the white bandage tightly wrapped around my left hand.

What the fu_

And that's when everything hit me.

I tried to end my life and I'm assuming that I failed since I found myself in the hospital.

I dug my face into my hands. I was so aggravated. I couldn't even kill myself right. All I wanted, was to die. All I wanted was to end my miserable life.

All I wanted was_

I'm interrupted when we run over a speed bump a little too fast and I find myself slightly shifting to the left.

I finally direct my attention to outside of the car and all I see are thinning trees in the vast distance as we moved way to quick for my preference.

I observed in silence.

We get to the Silk residence only about a half an hour later. And when we do, I absentmindedly find myself stepping out of the car when the driver holds the door out open for me.

He walks towards the trunk, opens it and takes out two large suitcases which I don't remember being mine. I don't say anything and only follow him when he begins making his way up the steps.

I self-consciously hug myself when we reach the front door. Moments later, Alfred opens the door with a slight smile on his face.

"Mrs.Rodriguez, welcome" He says, cooly

I give him a slight nod as I felt I didn't even have enough energy to speak.

"Please, please, come on in" He says as he moves out of the way.

I step into the house as the driver follows me in.

"I'll lead you to your room and let you rest. Mr. and Mrs. Silk are not home at the moment, but I will be sure to alert you when they arrive"

"Thank-you" I quietly say.

He leads me up the stairs and soon later we found ourselves in front of a white PVC door.

Alfred takes out a set of keys before inserting one into the hole. Seconds later, the door swings open and he steps in.

Beautiful yellow lights illuminate the room as I first set my eyes on it.

It was stunning.

In the center was a king size bed with velvet white sheets which matched the white velvet curtains. On my left, was a white Credenza desk. On my right, was a white walk-in closet, filled to the brim with clothes. And only about a few feet away from the closet, was another door which I'm assuming is the bathroom.

My eyes slightly widen.

"Okay well, I'll leave you to it. If you need anything, I'll be in the kitchen" Albert says

I give him a curt nod.

After both he and the driver leave, I close the door behind them and let out a sigh of relief.

I was exhausted.

I decide against unpacking and instead slowly creep towards the bed.

I wrap my fragile body around the soft and silky sheets and not long after fall into a deep sleep.

Jordan

"Hello, Jordan" Alfred greets as I step into the house.

"Hello to you too, Alfred"

I flick my wrist before looking down at my watch.

7:15 pm.

"The girl arrived, sir" Alfred says

I turn to face him, an eyebrow slightly lifted.

"Is that so?" I ask

He nods.

"About four hours ago. She hasn't come out since."

My eyes widen.

"She's on suicide watch!" I snap at him

His face pales.

"S-sir, I was not aware tha_"

"Oh forget it" I interrupt

I begin marching towards her room in quick and agitated strides.

When I reach her door, I don't even bother knocking and instead yank it open.

The lights are on and I almost stumble over her two large suitcases but catch myself last minute. When I move further into the room, I'm surprised to see her sleeping form tightly wrapped around the sheets as she let out light snores.

A feeling of immense relief washed through me as I observed her sleeping form.

She looked beautiful.

Her auburn brown hair cascaded down, lightly caressing the right side of her face. Her pink yet slightly cracked lips were tempting yet I itched to run my thumb over her rosy cheeks.

I restrain myself and instead slowly back away.

I slowly close the door behind me before walking off, a slight smile stretched across my lips.
