chapter ten

i've been laying down healing for about 3 days. laying down for that many hours makes you go crazy. everyone came to visit me. frequently five and klaus. which didn't surprise me.

grace said i can start walking on my feet again. that's a relief. if i had to lay down in that bed for one more day i would've lost my mind.

i had a lot to think about whilst all those nights alone. i was scared those people would come back. hurt me or worse. hurt someone i love. five said i shouldn't be worried about it, but i can't stop thinking about it. who even were those guys?

whenever i bring them up five seems to ignore it and change to a different topic. it annoys me. this is the reason we got in a fight in the first place. he had to tell me one way or another.

—

i got up the next morning and slowly went on my feet. it was weird at first. but eventually i got the hang of it. i figured no one was up, because it was quieter than usual.

"feeling better?"

a voice from behind me said quietly.

i turned around to face the familiar voice.

"yep, much better." i muttered.

five chuckled.

i wanted to talk about who those people were and what they wanted, but i figured it wasn't the time. i didn't want to stress him out even more.

"i.. i should've said this earlier but.."

"i'm sorry. it was my fault i didn't get there fast enough, i couldve possible prevented it." five said with a pained expression across his face.

"five, don't put the blame on you."

"if you didn't get there after i got shot, i would've been dead."

"you're the reason i'm still alive." i smiled.

five shook his head.

"still. i'm sorry."

i walked a few steps closer and hugged him.

i felt his arms slowly wrap around my waist.

*AHEM*

i jumped out of five's grip and looked behind me.

"ooooh am i interrupting something?" klaus giggled.

"KLAUS!" five yelled.

"okay okay! go back to doing your thing love birds."
i heard klaus' obnoxiously loud giggle again.

i shook my head and felt my face heat up a bit.

"GO!" five yelled once more.

klaus' giggled faded after he left the room.

"i have to take my meds, talk later?" i grinned.

"yeah, sure." five sighed.

—

after a couple minutes i went to five's bedroom, i wanted to discuss on what happened. once i opened the door the room was empty.

empty.

he left.

but where to?

i questioned everyone in the house. no one knew.

he wouldn't just leave without telling me. something was wrong.

—

later that night i heard his door open.

i got up and turned the lights on.

five was standing there with a black bag in this hand.

"we need to talk."

"now."

i clenched my teeth.

"whats there to talk about?" five scoffed while turning the other direction.

i pushed him to face me.

"what's there to talk about? are you kidding me?" i questioned.

he gave me a dirty look.

"you have to tell me what's going on." i said.

"there's nothing going on." five said slowly.

"oh yeah? sure. nothing going on." i scoffed.

"who were those people. what do they want?" i remarked.

"i don't know what you're talking about." five faced the other direction again.

i pushed him hard enough that he stumbled over.

"the people that fucking shot me five!" i yelled.

"you can't keep it a secret forever!"

five stood up on this feet.

"and why should i tell you?" five exclaimed.

"because i'm not risking getting hurt again. nor am i risking you or anyone else." i started lowering my voice.

"don't worry about it. i have it under control." five said with piercing eyes.

i shook my head and used my powers to push him on the floor.

"you're a real fucking asshole five." i felt tears form in my eyes.

"don't even bother looking for me." i felt the hot tears drip down my face.

i slammed the door behind me and walked downstairs. i opened the door and heard the familiar voice behind me.

"where are you going?" klaus questioned.

"far away from here." i wiped the tears off my face.

"i cant stop you, but, just be safe. okay?" klaus grinned.

"thanks klaus, at least someone understands."

i closed the door behind me and stormed off into the dark night.
