🌹CHAPTER TWELVE🌹

A groan escapes past my mouth when I wake up. My eyes open but the room is dark making it believe that the night has arrived. I look around myself and see that I'm in the room that I've been staying in for the last couple of days and not the room that I last remember myself to have been in.

I look over the room in confusion as I have no idea how I got here. The last thing I remember is the surrendering myself to the darkness after Lena had left the room and I was all alone. I'm lying down on the bed and I notice that unlike what has been happening the last few days there are needles stuck in my arm, almost as if I were still in the hospital.

I'm confused on how I got here since I clearly remember being in the other room when I passed out. Could Lena have carried me all this way? She isn't here as I'm all alone in the room now. I don't dare move my body as I remember how I moved and I realize that there is a possibility that I might have damaged something.

The door then opens and Lena steps into the room. She's wearing a sweater that covers her wrist but I can see that there are clean and fresh bandages around her arms, leaving me to believe that what happened in that room actually took place.

"I'm so glad you're awake, I was so afraid when I found you lying on the floor. I thought something terrible had happened to you and I could not bear to think of anything happening to you" She says. I notice that she's holding a tray with food but it's only fruit and vegetables.

"I'm fine, actually I'm more than fine" I tell her, I am fine and I am speaking the truth. Ever since I woke up just now I've been feeling too calm and relaxed. "I was hoping for that. You see, I gave you a double of the dose. I knew it would help with what is about to come" She tells me and I give her a confused look.

I'm not sure what she's talking about but lately that is something that is usual for me. "What are you talking about?" I ask her when she doesn't understand my look nor says anything. She had sat down and put the tray on her lap before she smiles at me.

"Well, you wanted the truth and I intend to... give it to you" She says but she did hesitate for some reason that I don't know yet but I get the feeling that I will not understand. I'm not sure if I do want to hear the truth but there is a part inside me that screams at me that I need to know the truth about this whole thing because I can't bear any more secrets and lies and betrayals. It's too much.

"Also I didn't want you to panic too much or try to attack me because the things that I'm about to tell you might be hurtful and I would not want you to harm yourself" She says and there is bitterness inside her voice even when she tries to hide it, she can't hide it from me.

She hands me a strawberry and I take it and bring it to my mouth to eat. I hadn't realized that I was so hungry until I taste the strawberry on my tongue. "Why would I try to harm myself?" I ask her without meaning to. I just need the truth and all this would be over.

Everything would make sense to me and that's all I need. "No reason, it's just might not be information that you would want to get" She tells me as she hands me anther strawberry. "Before you tell me, I need you to tell me if you are all right" I say to her.

I'm so worried about her because she tried to hurt herself and I keep worrying that she might hurt herself again or if she has done it before. It hurts to know what she did that to herself and I did not see how she felt but I will do right by her now.
