Shadows into light (dark R5)

Chapter 25

Warm. Cuddly. Soft. Warm cuddly soft sheets. My body slowly unfurled itself and my fingers ran across the warm blankets.

I could tell the room was bright so I didn't wanna open my eyes yet. I just wanted to lay in bliss, and let my sleepy mind wander back to my dream world.

I reached out for Ross and my eyes flew open. I was in a large bed. It could fit 7 grown men easy, and was made of black large wood. Silky drapes hung around the bed, dividing me from the room.

My mind was foggy and I couldn't process where I was. I opened the stupid drapes and my feet met cold wooden floor. I stumbled a little as the whole world spun. I grabbed my stomach and held onto the wall for support, looking at my feet.

I frowned and noticed I had been changed into a short red dress. What.....

Rocky.

Remembrance of last night came back. He lived far away and I guess I must've fell asleep in the car and he brought me in.

I took a deep breath and made my way to the door. I opened it up and my breath caught.

Damn these Lynchs and their impossibly large and hard to navigate houses. I stepped out into the long hallways that seemed to go in forever with many doors. I took a left and wanders down the hall, making random turns until I came to a large marble staircase.

My feet want down the cool stone, making slapping noise as I went down. No sign of people....

That's when the piano playing hit my ears. lovely and slow. I followed the noise until I saw the tall brunette sitting at a black piano.

His face was concentrated. He stuck his tongue out slightly and nodded his head. I was watching him but he hadn't noticed.

"You're amazing."

He jumped a bit and those familiar brown eyes the family all shared, looked at me. "It's noon."

I nodded my head. "Yeah."

He sighed and stood up. "are you hungry?"

I opened my mouth to say no when my stomach growled. I blushed and nodded my head. He walked off and I followed behind him.

I didn't like his house honestly.... Everyone had a large house in the lynch family for some unknown reason. And his is empty.... No ones here. It also has a cold feeling to it.

While Ross has a big house, his is.... Warm. I'd wake up happy and people were always around laughing and making noise. It had a warm cabin feel and had other colors than black and red.

I shook my head. no. I can't think about Ross.... I tried to get him out of my mind before I started to cry.

I sat down on one of Rockys bar stools and watched him walk around the kitchen, getting food. "we're going out tonight."

"What...." I asked, blinking.

"Tonight. To a friends party. We're going with Ratliff and Kelly. She's gonna help you get ready...." He looked me up and down and smirked. he handed me a sandwich and pulled a chair across from me. He had a sandwich himself and was watching me as he ate.

I honestly didn't know what to do.... I couldn't hate him or run away.... It would be pointless. Well I do hate him but it's stupid to show it now and give him a reason to hate me and treat me bad. But it's not like I'm gonna be super nice.

"So that room I was in...."

"My room."

I froze and my eyes got big. "What...."
