Love At First Bite

9

I woke up to the sound of shuffling beside me.

My eyes fluttered opened, adjusting to the darkness.

I looked over beside me, only to find Alexander folding some clothes.

I rose up,

"Oh you're awake! Are you alright?" He asked calmly, looking at me softly.

"Yeah." I replied, I looked around and realised I was in my room, wait a minute, "Why are you in my house? How do you even know where I live?" I added, pushing the covers away and standing up.

Suddenly a pain in my head made me stumble back and fall back into the bed.

"Don't stand up, you hurt your head and you need to say in bed." He said, pulling the covers over me again, ignoring what I had asked him.

"Answer my question." I stated, crossing my arms.

"Your friend told me." He answered, sitting by my feet.

"Huh?" I questioned, confusedly.

"You went to a party with your friends, you tried to beat up Jake because he tried to rape your friend but he was too strong and pushed you against a wall. You hit your head and passed out." He explained, looking at me.

"What happened to Lexie? Is she okay?" I asked, worried.

"If you're talking about your friend then, yes she's okay. She went home." He responded.

"What happened to Jake after?" The questions couldn't stop coming out but I can't help it, I'm a curious person.

"Don't worry about it, you need to sleep." He stood up and looked at me.

"Goodnight, Alexander." I said.

"Goodnight, Savannah." He replied, smirking and walking out of the room.

Eventually, I fell into a coma of sleep.

"I heard he got beat up so bad, that he died."

Was all I had been hearing about Jake throughout the whole day.

There could only be one person responsible for all these rumours even starting in the first place.

"What did you do?" I asked quietly, slamming my hand down onto the desk.

"Good evening to you too, Savannah. Care to further explain what you are referring to." He replied, looking up from the book he was reading.

"The Jake thing, what did you do? The last thing I remember from the party was you punching him so hard blood spilled out his mouth. So I'll ask again, what the fuck happened to Jake?" I said, crossing my arms.

"Do you care about him?" He questioned, closing his book and placing it down.

"No, but I just want to know." I responded.

"Well then it doesn't matter what happened to him." He said, licking his lips and opening his book.

I scoffed.

Men...

"Whatever." I replied, walking away.

Hello my lovelies!
Firstly I'd like to apologise for my absence, but I have a reason.
Well for one I still have school, unfortunately, but don't you worry because my last day is on Wednesday!
Anyways I had to take a break, my mental health was starting to really deteriorate. I don't want to get into it because it's something I don't really want to talk about as I don't want to be reminded, I'm trying to build myself back up again and that's going very well so far so that's good but just know I didn't intentionally stop writing.
I love writing and it's a great escape from reality.
I also love all of you who have supported me since the start, trust me I didn't and will never forget any of you and I really truly thank you for understanding and being patient with me.
Now I will try and update regularly again but I make no promises.
