Bloody Lips

Episode 9

I open the door to find Justin there. That’s what I want now, I say sarcastically of course in my head. Hahah yeah you want it or especially him.,my mind echoes.

Whatever.

“Hey, beautiful? I thought you had told me that you have a headache. But you seem like to be going to somewhere or coming from somewhere. Huh?” Justin asks, inviting himself in and looking around the house.

“What are you looking for?” I ask.

His head snaps towards me and reply.

“Uh nothing.”

“Hmmm” I nod my head and sit opposite of him on the couch.

“So what are you doing here?”

“I just want to see you.” He says. 6

“See me?”

“Yeah to check on you and all. But are you going somewhere?”

“No I just came from. Just out to get some stuff..” I reply, not wanting to tell him where i had been.

“Ohh..”

“Yeah. You had come here from work?”

“Yeah I was just passing by so I thought about stopping to check up on you.” He’s really so sweet. 51

“Thanks Justin. It means a lot to me.” I reply to him.

“Nah you mean a lot to me.” My eyes lock with his eyes. His eyes are shining bright with a glint. His words just touch my heart. My heart swells. 36

But I remember his words…

Xander’s word. 29

His sweet words.

‘You are my everything..’ 58

Tears stung my eyes and I look away. They all just talk sweet but in the end, leave me. I put a strand of hair behind my ear, avoiding his eyes. 19

I feel couch dip beside me, then fingers on my face, he moves my face towards him. I look at him . 2

His eyebrows pull together, eyes holding questions.

“What had happened? ” he insists on happening. Like he knows something had happened in the past. 14

“Nothing. ” I reply quietly, closing my eyes.

A forehead presses against mine. It is Justin’s. I open my eyes to be met by his. They are looking at me like he doesn’t believe me. 41

Then his eyes fell on my lips and before i can know what is happening, he is kissing me.I kiss him back trying to tell him through my kiss how sad I am. How broken I am. 96

He pulls back and smiles at me. I smile back but not fake this time.

“I should get going now. You take some rest now. Okay? ” he says.

“Yeah okay. Thanks for stopping by..”

“Laters baby.” He says with an arrogant smirk. I roll my eyes at him.

We stand up and I bit him goodbye before closing the door, sighing. 57

~~~~~

I lay down on my bed, my hands under the pillow, face pressed against it. Again, two officers are out in living room. 9

What will happen today?

I don’t care. 1

But what if he is still leaning somewhere on the wall in the room? 8

I still don’t care.

It feels like I’m becoming numb. I don’t care. I close my eyes not waiting to listen whether he is coming or not..

I had even thought of writing ‘Fuck you’ on a sticky paper and sticking it on the window. 144

But that will be childish so i didn’t do it. 148

I let the sleep consume me because I haven’t slept in the past 24 hours, not caring that i do hear the voice of window opening and before I know it, darkness consumes me. 29

Unknown POV: 5

She just sleeps?

I can’t believe it. 47

I mean I was thinking , that her heart would be beating fast when she lays down on her bed. But I just feel like she didn’t even remember. 1

I make my way hurriedly in her room because I know she is going to be asleep any moment.

I know she listens to the voice of window opening. But she still falls asleep.

What did just happen?

I am so confused. 5

But I have to make sure, she doesn’t sleep next time , not before i come.

I smirk and look at the sleepy beauty.

I lean on the desk and watch her sleeping whole night. 91

I have to think about what to do now. I sigh, wondering about my next move.
