W hen I finally came to on the floor, my face was buried into the wood floors, making everything ache. I scrambled to make sure my towel was still covering me.

It wasn’t.

The way I got down on the floor and with time unaccounted for… it all came rushing back to me, and I snapped up in a panic. My face ached in a way that made me want to scream. My fingers gently glided over my features, and when I reached my eyebrows, tears poured down my face.

Dorian’s fist had met my face.

His temper boiled over because of a bad decision I made. He hit me without any remorse, because I cheated on him. He hit me, because no one had ever taught him how to lose as a man.

So why did I feel like I deserved it?

More tears leaked from my eyes, realizing how fucked up I truly was.

Dorian was sound asleep in the bed, while I laid on the floor. Tip toeing past the bed, I reached the bathroom to assess my face. It was red and swollen like an allergic reaction.

I could explain the other bruises away, blaming work, but this showed up overnight and wasn’t a simple bruise.

Panic, fear, guilt… all made my stomach turn in like it was full of poison.

I wasn't going to let this fall apart here or in front of my friends. I needed to think and heal, before anything happened.

Nyx reacting to the bruise growing around my eye and my displaced nose in all the swollen skin was going to result in more bad decisions.

This would hurt Nyx in a similar way I hurt Dorian. I wasn't supposed to be hurting anyone; it wasn't who I was. The stars fated me to care, not cause pain.

Realizing we needed to leave before everyone, I quietly got dressed before I pressed my hands into Dorian to wake him up. I flinched when he woke up suddenly. “We have to go. No one can see.”

I understood I was protecting him, and I also knew it wasn't the best decision I could have made. It was a smart decision. I needed to be the one to handle this, not everyone else. Look where that got me after the ritual.

I didn't bring a hoodie or sunglasses.

I didn't bring any “just in case” items.

Dorian winced upon rubbing his eyes awake and seeing my face. The awkward silence not filled with any sorries was motivating me to leave even quicker.

Clutching my phone in my hands, my eyes darted around every corner, listening so carefully I felt like I turned off all my other senses. I didn't want to run into anyone.

Creeping through Hades’s place, and trying to get away with it, seemed stupid.

It was then that Hades spoke my name: “Little Lamb?”

Not turning around, I stiffened when Dorian slipped out into the elevator to presumably start the car and shake off the morning dew… or leave me here.

“I gotta get home, but it was good seeing you...” I had to bite down tears and force my eyes to blink the tears back.
