Lexy

I rolled a little from my bed.

My head slightly ached and I groaned a little.

I opened my eyes slowly and met a looming darkness with dark huge curtains, with no source of real light.

Then it hit me, this wasn't my room.

I jerked up and sat down.

"Hey, you're awake".

I was acquainted with this British accent.

I looked around the dark room and then my eyes landed on him slowly.

He's sitting right beside me on a chair wearing a tank top, and for the first time since I've been here, I'm finally able to see he's tattoos in a better view.

He had tattoos everywhere on his left arm and it disappeared under the top.

His long hair is packed up but very much messy and it's everywhere on his face.

His eyes.

His eyes are so pale blue, you might think he's blind.

He had a silver chain dangling on his neck and he had his left ear pierced.

Typical picture of a Greek god.

Then he started giving me a confused face and I guess I was staring too much.

"Where am I?", I asked almost in a whisper.

"My room", he answered.

Obviously it was his room, it looks very much like him!

"Why am I here, how did I come here? the last thing I remembered was....", then I trailed off remembering what happened in a flash .

He didn't say anything.

He just stared at me.

"Do you want me to get you a therapist?", he asked.

okay I just woke up from only God knows where and he's asking me if I needed a therapist?

Like I'm mad???

I wanted to snap at him and tell him that I don't need his shitty therapist.

"I want to go home", I said calmly after a long moment of silence.

He didn't look like he was going to say yes.

"Home?", he asked.

"Yes, back to my house", I replied.

"Which exactly? same on that is crawling around with people waiting for you to get close to the building so that they could kill you? which home?", he asked.

"It's better living with the enemy you know that the person you think is your friend!", I grumbled.

He sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

He stood up and walked slowly towards the window.

I relaxed back on the bed.

"I'm tired Amber, I'm tired of all these rollercoaster rides and making me feel stupid and less human, I'm tired. I can't do this, I can't and I won't, and even if you hate me so much just -"

"Hate you?", he asked coldly.

"You think I hate you Lexy? if I did do you think I would have agreed to marry you in the first place? Fuck Lexy why are you acting so blind. How many people do you see me marrying to protect, how many Lexy?"

"Then why do you act like you do? why Amber would you do absolutely nothing when you heard your father ask me to strip Amber, why?!!"

"Because you're a strong girl Lexy, damn I didn't think you'd give in that quickly!"

I stared at him confused.

"Strong girl?", I asked calmly.

"You expect me to stand strong when your father had a bullet waiting to be released into my body? you expect me to be strong!

Fuck I would rather die outside than here! I would rather die with a story of she died because of her father's enemies were after her life than she died because her so called "in law" shot her because she refused to be the community whore!!"

"He wasn't going to shoot you Lexy ", he mumbled.

I stared at him like he was crazy.

"Wow Amber, I know you're a popular serial killer and you're used to bullets on your head, but guess what I'm not! so please don't even say that! do you expect me to be strong forever? or what you feel like I'm cool with everything going on currently? you're draining me Amber I can't just do this ", I said in a broken voice.

He shut his eyes tightly and sighed and walked out.

Of course... cowards always walk away from their problems.

"I can't believe that happened! he's an insult to manhood, he doesn't deserve that title he carries, fuck him and his stupidity!...."

Of course I expected Sam to spend a full hour cursing Amber about the other time and boy did she do a good job.

I laughed, "When are you coming to see me, I miss you", I said pouting.

"I'm sorry, I had work stuffs to do, I'm not even in the country at the moment, might be back next week or so"

"Lucky you, at least you got a job", I muttered.

"C'mon Lexy don't give me that tone, you know pretty well that Amber wouldn't be able to tolerate you, he'll soon get upset and send you away and then you'll be free", she said.

.I frowned, "That's... that's kinda a bad idea right now honestly", I said quietly..

"What do you mean? don't you want to leave that place?", she asked.

I sighed, "I can't ", I choked out.

"Lexy his father had his brothers and his best friend watch you strip naked and you're still considering living in there, I could sue him for you honestly you know that right?"

I groaned, "You know how connected they are to the police, nothing you say or do can affect them, and it's not like I want to stay, I just don't have a choice ", I said.

"Of course you do, you can leave him and come stay with me or we'll run away to Africa or something and be free-"

"I'm going to die Sam, he's my only hope of survival now, I'm going to die miserably ", I said sadly, biting back tears.

She was quiet at the other side of the phone.

"I'm sorry Lexy", she said calmly.

"I'm sorry you're all in this mess, God you deserve better", she sounded pained.

I chuckled sadly, "I've always been given the worse".

"Hey I'm here for you whenever you need me and I'll do the best I can, okay? I love you baby girl", she said.

I smiled, " You too big girl", I said and ended the call.

I sighed and decided to take a long shower to wash off all those dirty feelings.... that if it was even possible.

I slipped into a comfy net camisole and cuddled in my blanket

There was a soft knock on my door, few seconds after, the door opened.

"Lexy?", Aaron.

Aaron???

I got up abruptly, "Aaron? what are you doing here?", I asked confused.

"I...I came to check up on you first", he said rubbing his fingers together.

"I'm...I'm good thanks", I said because it was very very much awkward seeing the same person that saw you in your underwear and someone you have barely spoken to... talking to you in your room!

I noticed he was staring at the ceiling.

"Uhh, why are you looking at the ceiling?", I asked.

"Oh uh, you're not properly dressed, I can't uhm...you know uhm.. like uhm "

I rolled my eyes, "It's no big deal, you've seen me half naked already ", I mumbled.

"What? no of course not! are you being serious right now?".

."Yeah like you weren't there when your father asked me to strip", those words were sour in my mouth.

He gave a short laugh, "Do you think anyone saw you? God Lexy do you want Amber to hang me? no one, not even my brother, not even James, not even the guards, just my dad, Amber will fucken kill that person, am I crazy? hell no"

."Why are you making it sound like Amber is protective over me?", I asked.

."He's overprotective about anything that belongs to him in general, that's how he is ", he said.

I rolled my eyes, I hate it when they make these evil people sound like they have a good part of them, lies! they are all psychopaths.

"Yeah right and he was totally fine with his father telling his wife to strip....cool", I said sarcastically.

Aaron sighed and looked at the floor, probably tired of looking up

.I covered myself properly.

"You can look at me now, "I said.

And he did.

. Yeah he's actually pretty handsome but....Amber is like way better.

"Lexy my father is different, it's not my story to tell tho but he didn't have a choice really, he could have fired bullets into his head or given the person painful slow torture if it was anyone in this world, but my dad? he's just different ", he said.

I sighed and tucked back into bed,"I'm not ready to have any of this Amber talk tonight, I want to go to sleep ", I said.

"Oh yeah that's actually why I am here ", he said.

"What? why?", I asked.

"Amber wants to talk to you, he's in his office"
