Molly

I feel myself coming round, so I turn over and cuddle in to the duvet before willing myself back to sleep so I don’t have to feel my head pounding and stomach churning with my movement. Eventually I give in, and decide I’m gonna have to go in search of painkillers instead.

I gently ease my eyes open and my breath catches in my throat at the sight in front of me. Ryan is sat staring down at me sat in a chair, looking anguished. I break my stare with him to quickly take in my surroundings, and I am totally confused when I realise I’m in his bedroom. The last thing I remember was drinking on Jax’s sofa. How and when did I get here?

I look back into his concerned eyes, “Ry…” I try speaking, but my throat is so dry that I have to swallow and try again. “Ryan?”

“There are painkillers and water on the side if you need them,” he says coldly.

“Thank you,” I whisper, before slowly pulling my body up enough so that I can take them without upsetting my dodgy stomach too much.

Once I’m done, I lie myself back down and look over Ryan’s features. His eyes are bloodshot, he has dark circles around them, and his hair more of a mess than usual. I let my eyes roam down his body, noting that he is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, but what I notice the most is the dried blood on his knuckles. “Ryan, what…” I start to ask the first of the many questions that I have, but he interrupts me.

“No, Molly. You need to go first. You have the most explaining to do.”

I’m suddenly reminded of everything that happened over the last two days, and it makes me want to dive under the covers and hide. I never got to make a decision as to whether I wanted to tell Ryan the truth, but it doesn’t look like I’m going to have much of a choice now. He must see the internal discussion I’m having with myself, because he prompts me to start talking. Hearing his voice and looking into his eyes though makes me realise there never really was a decision to make; I made it a long time ago.

I roll onto my back so I don’t have to look at him, and let out a huge breath before saying very quietly, “your mum tried paying me off.”

The silence in the room is almost painful as Ryan takes in what I have just said. “So yesterday was you leaving me?” he asks quietly, making my head snap back to his.

“What no…Ryan, that wasn’t it at all.”

“But you ran; you did what my mum wanted and left me.” I see his eyes start to fill with tears before he looks away from me. “Was that it? If I didn’t find you last night, would we be over now?”

The pain in his voice causes me to scramble out of bed and crawl over to him until I’m on my knees by his feet and holding his trembling hands in mine.
