WAS THAT SOME TYPE OF WARNING?

ok ok let's go triple update 🌚
trigger warning towards the end of this chapter.

i opened my eyes, groaning at the bright light above me, seeing the sun shining in my face, and i turned my head to see kaya beside me, holding a cold, wet towel on my head.

some way, some how, i sat up as quickly as i could and swung at her with all my might, sending her head snapping in the other direction, and just as soon as i hit her, her hand flew up to her face, clutching it.

"oww! what the fuck!" she screamed, while i sat up and stared at her in anger and confusion.

"what the fuck are you doing?" i demanded, looking around me.

"helping you because you almost fucking died," she seethed, scrunching her face up. "this is what your boyfriend told me to do. fuck! my nose hasn't even fully healed from last time!"

she ran out of the room, leaving a little trail of blood, and i just watched her, rolling my eyes as i sat up, and squinted my eyes due to the sun being in them.

moments later, jahseh walked into the room, and then looked down at the few blood drops on the floor and avoiding stepping in them, before giving me a look of confusion, which made me stare back at him blankly.

i remembered.

everything that had happened earlier was fresh in my memory. i could still remember everything, down to seeing kaya in the bathroom, to stokeley holding me down while i hyperventilated.

"why?" i asked, wiping my wet forehead with the back of my hand, from the water on the towel that had been on it.

"why what?" he asked, sitting beside me, only for me to scoot away from him and cross my arms. "what's up with you?"

"i trusted you." i said lowly, looking away from him and down at my chest, which was still dressed in only a sports bra.

he let out a sigh, immediately catching on to what i was talking about, and shaking his head. "ary, it's not what it looked like."

i narrowed my eyes at him, but kept quiet, granting him the opportunity to speak and explain himself, though i didn't entirely want to, but i knew it was the right thing to do.

the voices in my head were still silent, which somewhat surprised me, and i glanced over at the cable box to see it was 8:35 am.

"i had no choice," he said, making me glance back at him and just watch him, an expressionless body and face, while he sighed.

"she forced me. she told me she'd do some shit to you if i didn't kiss her, just like the last time-"

"what last time?" i asked, scrunching up my face at my lack of memory of this ever happening before.

"the last time she did this, you knocked her out and ran out of the house a little after it happened, and then i found you passed out on the curb not remembering nothing." he explained, which made me furrow my eyebrows.

"oh." was all i said, and surprisingly i didn't have anything more i wanted to or felt that i should've said. i just kept my quiet and looked away from him, down at my hair, which i started to fiddle with.

"aracely i'm sorry." he said, his voice seeming genuine and full of real emotion, which made me glance over at him and sigh, before shrugging my shoulders.

"it's not like i cared anyway." i lied, but kept my most bored expression and body language, so he wouldn't tell i was lying.

"yes you did."

never mind.

i huffed, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed and pausing for a moment before i lifted myself up, groaning at the pain in my back and stomach.

jahseh hurried to my side, which made me mentally roll my eyes, considering i didn't want to be around him right now, even if his story was true, just out of pure discomfort after all that had happened.

i thought back to being in the bathroom and seeing kaya and the unnamed girl, and how the unnamed girl had told me to kill kaya.

of course, i wouldn't, because i knew that wouldn't do me any good. sure, it'd get rid of her, but it would land me in jail, and that was the last place i ever wanted to go back to.

but was that some type of warning?

i started to try to figure out if kaya was ever actually in the bathroom, or if i had just been hallucinating, and this hallucination was just some sort of message, or warning.

it'd make sense, to hallucinate a warning right before i was faced with something like that, but how? that's some paranormal shit.

i sighed, clearing my mind of all the thoughts in my head and making my way into the bathroom, where i shut jahseh out and leaning myself against the counter, looking up and seeing myself, and nobody else.

finally.

i glanced down at the counter in front of me, and then stood still, trying to hear the noise of everyone in the house to make sure nobody was nearby or approaching, and then lifted up the small plant pot and pulled out what was hidden beneath it.

the blades.

i stared at them in my hand for a while, flipping them around gently and watching their sharp edges intently, and then picking one randomly and placing the rest down on the counter, before extending my wrist and looking down at it.

and then, i started to cut.
