The next day I layed in bed all day. My head was pounding and I couldnt see or walk straight. Hell I could barely form an actual sentence. Selena had come over some time in the afternoon. If I recalled correctly to complain about the flowers and something about her family... Maybe even about me but I couldnt quite make it out.
After a long cat nap I found myself pacing in my room. Surprisingly the nap helped a lot. I found that Endarkened were made to drink with ease. A hangover will last maybe five hours before you are knocked unconsious and then wake up with a dull throbbing head. Asking around had been something I didnt want to do but the curiosity and bordem got the best of me.
Selena sat on my bed, texting away on her phone. It was around midnight after all the sleeping Id done and Dinah wasnt anywhere to be found. My gut clenched in worry and I paced back and forth in front of Selena.
"Where is she?" I asked impatiently.
That earned an eyeroll from her. "Its the famous Dinah Jane. Shes famous for these things and you know it. Only a matter of time before this happened."
"Thanks for the helpful happy comments. Next time why dont you just hit me with a hammer? It might be as painful." I say my voice dripping in sarcasm.
She raises her hands defensivly. "Im just saying... Its Dinah Jane. I dont trust her. Look what happened with Zayn...." Her voice trails.
And then its like Im drowning in emotions. They arent mine though. Im eating them alive. What I live to do. I can feel the anger and silent hurting. Those screams that are so painstakingly mute and unheard. Voices in my head edging me on anger.
Im thrown back and take a step. Its still weird expieriencing other peoples pain and loss so directly and vividly that I forget how much people really do suffer. Especially in silence. Selenas face has gone blank then she looks up at me.
"You... Did you just...."
"Sorry I didnt know. I guess I was hungry." I say my voice wavering with confusion.
She nods.
"You loved him."
"Im not sure how it happened. He was disguisting but he was amazing. And after all thats happen I realised it when I got jealous."
It hits me hard when I realise Ive dragged her through all of this without actually helping her emotions. I guess taking them is one way but it leaves my head spinning and the vile blood lust tast in my mouth.
My phone begins ringing and I answer it, praying that its Dinah.
The girlfriend? A voice snickers. You must be the famous Lauren Starr. Im surprised your here. Why the hell arent you here?
Excuse me?
Dinah fucking Jane dickhead. I know your new to this world. Im Normani. Im her dead friend. Im Hades daughter down in hell. No dont ask how I am talking to you. But know that we seem to be on the verge of adding someone new to our souls down here.
What the hell are you talking about?
This hell. Yeah looks like Dinah is trying to pay a visit. A perminate one.
I hang up the phone quickly only to have Selena grabbing at me.
"What?"
"Did you not here me? Your girlfriend was in a car accident!"
"What?"
"Shes in a bloody comma and on the freaking edge of death get your ass off the bed and lets go!"
But she doesnt have to shout. The world goes numb of feelings. And numb of all emotions but one.
Fear.
