Open To the Truth ~ Kylo Ren FanFic

Chapter 9 - Rules

The rest of the night was a blur. I couldn't remember anything after Kylo had come in. I woke up on my bed but was a mess. The cold sweat on my body and in my hair made me want to die. It was disgusting. Without hesitation, I walked to the bathroom. I didn't bother grabbing clothes. 

Once I reached the bathroom, I shut the door and locked it. Nobody was going to come in, but I felt better with it locked. I stripped down as quickly as I could and turned on the more-than-warm water. I waited a few seconds before jumping in and immediately felt relief. I felt warm and safe. But that was short-lived, as I heard a knock on my door.

"Busy!" I didn't bother asking who it was, I just wanted to sit in my shower in peace. But my hope was taken away, as I felt the familiar headache-inducing pain in my head. It wasn't as bad as before, but it still caused me to steady myself on the wall of the shower.

Kylo.

"Stop! Go away!" I already knew this was Kylo's doing, and that he would probably be right outside my bathroom door.

"I'm showering. Plus, I don't want to speak to you." I grabbed a bottle of soap and poured it into my hand. 

"Phoenix, I need to..."

"No! Leave me alone." Last night was not okay. He took away the only friend I had and then proceeded to touch me in ways I've never felt before.

"That's what I need to talk to you about."

Ugh.

Mindreading.

"I'm not in the mood. Please." I scrubbed the soap onto my hair, trying not to look down on my body, just in case Kylo could see images from my head. Next thing I know, I heard the bathroom door open. He unlocked it with the force. It was headed toward the left of the shower, so he couldn't see me at first unless he took a few steps forward. But instincts told me to turn around.

"Get out!" 

"You're giving me no choice." I heard Kylo take a step forward, but it wasn't towards the shower. I could barely see him, but I noticed that he was heading towards the sink.

"Are you going to speak to me?" 

"Wha- No! I said get out. I'm showering!" The once warm water turned into ice-cold water. 

"AGH! What the hell!"I scrambled to shut the water off while shivering profusely. As soon as the shower water had stopped. I heard the new water running. And realized it was coming from the sink.

Did he seriously just do that.

"You wouldn't listen. I had no other choice." I couldn't stop the shivering, but I wasn't going to leave the shower to grab a towel. He would have to leave.

"Then stay there? It's quick." 

"Kylo, please. I'm freezing. Just leave. I'll speak to you after." After a few seconds, I heard the shower door open, and I spun around once again, only showing my backside.

"Kylo! Stop!" 

"Here." I turned my head around and saw Kylo's hand with a towel, reaching into the shower. His head was facing the other way. I quickly snatched the towel and turned back around. But before I could even wrap the towel around myself, I could feel his eyes boring into my back. 

"Look away."

"Wh- Oh right." I heard him shuffle away and finally wrapped the towel around myself. I then slowly opened the shower door and walked into the bathroom. It was extremely tiny, and Kylo took up a lot of space, so I had to stand fairly close to him.
