Nineteen

Damian

How long is this damn date? It’s almost ten and I haven’t heard from her yet. Maybe he forced her to sleep over. She’s probably scared. I pace back and forth, unable to calm my nerves. She’s fine, I keep telling myself, she has to be. Even knowing Logan is watching her doesn’t relax me. I should’ve had him plant a camera inside the bastard’s home. I told Logan to break down the door if he hears any suspicious noise coming from inside. No news must mean good news, at least I fucking hope so.

I’m so close to losing my mind, I’ve even considered going by the house myself. But if Ash sees me, it’ll put her in jeopardy, and I won’t risk her life. I already took a gamble by threatening him and I refuse to do it again.

If something happens to her, I won’t survive it. She’s got my heart in her soft, little hands and if she dies, it dies with her. Fuck. She’s not gonna die. I have to stop thinking that way.

I decide to take a shower in hopes it helps me pass the time. I need to see her, to feel her heartbeat, to know she’s okay.

I enter the bathroom, turning the dial, releasing the hot water as the steam fights its way out, wafting everywhere. Stepping out of my black sweats and white T-shirt, I open the glass door and welcome the slicing of heat against my back.

As I close my eyes, I’m bombarded with images of her. The water does nothing to calm me. It’s the opposite. All I see is her, hurt and alone. It’s as though someone is snapping polaroids and gluing them inside my head. I fist my hands across the brown, ceramic tile as my mind is torn apart. I bang my forehead against the wall to clear my mind, but I keep drowning in morbid thoughts.

I pour the shampoo into my palm and scrub my scalp until it’s sore. Where are you, baby? I have to tell her how I feel, tell her I’m falling in love with her. That feeling, it’s been there for a few days now, but I’ve wanted to wait to tell her, wait until we’re together. But now with everything going on, I can’t wait anymore.

I finish scrubbing my body and turn off the water. Towel wrapped around my hips, I walk back to my bedroom to get some clothes. The small, white bedside lamp provides the only light as I get dressed. I look around for my cell before remembering I left it in the kitchen. Hoping not to miss her call, I rush to retrieve it.

I enter the passcode into the keypad and the phone finally unlocks. I blink hard at the three missed calls and numerous texts from Logan and the guys. The room spins as I read the first message.
