You Make Me

Chapter 12

Alex P.O.V

It only took us a few minutes to reach Shane's house, but I felt bad for him carrying me, I'm sure it wasn't the easiest thing to do. I want to walk myself, but my feet were in so much pain, I'm not sure I could even stand.

"Don't be alarmed, my mom is here."

"N-no, I cant s-see your mom l-looking like this." I say stuttering

I can feel his chest vibrate as he chuckles "Don't worry, she's upstairs."

He opens the door and walks over to what looks like the living room, and sets me down on the leather couch.

"Make yourself comfortable, ill get you some water" he says and walks away. I try to look for my phone to call someone to come pick me up, but then it hits me.

Its in Courtney's car.

I ran all the way here with no phone, and not knowing where I'm going.

I cant believe how stupid I am for going out in the first place. None of this would've happen if I would've listen to my gut.

I wouldn't be here with Shane.

I wouldn't have almost been taken away by some stranger I didn't know.

I would have to go to the beach where a lot of memories are.

I'm upset at myself. Mad at myself for going through with this.

My throat burns as I think of everything coming into view about tonight. I want to get out of here.

I try and stand, but immediately fall back down due to the pain in my feet. Why do my feet hurt so bad? I look down at them and see that they're scrapped up, bleeding and dirty.

Great.

"Are you ok?" Shane says, startling me. I nod and fold my hands on my lap. He sits the glass down and sits down next to me.

"Where did Cole touch you?" He asks

"All over." I say as I focus my gaze on my hands. But not for long, he grabs one of them, but I pull it back.

I haven't forgot about what he did, however my thoughts are clouded with what's been happening tonight.

"Alex..." He sighs "I'm trying to fix this, would you, please let me." He asks, tilting his head a little to look at me.

"You cant fix anything. It already happen."

"But I can try."

"What are you wanting to fix, Shane? The damage is done, I know what you did and that's that." I say annoyed.

"Just because I work for him, doesn't mean I want to. He pays well s-"

"So you hurt me for money?" I ask in disbelief, this clearly is a joke, right?

"I guess, kinda." He says and looks down. He's ashamed... he should be.

"Wow." I say biting the end sides of my cheeks to prevent me from crying...again. I stand up, ignoring the pain in my feet, its not as bad to what I feel right now.

"Alex, can I finish ...please?" He cant be serious?

"No, I want to go home." I say and turn the knob of the front door, when I'm about to pull it open, his hand wraps around my hand that is on the knob. I look up and see him.

The same eyes that I've been seeing in my dream lightly.

The same eyes that I stared into on my first day at a new school.
