I don't know how I couldn't realise how attached I got to Sorin over the past two months.I turned my head around and he was always there.

Yes,his intentions weren't good but he was there,wasn't he?

"Sullivan...He won't leave you alone until you give him what he wants.""I don't want him to have me."I sniffed."You know,I tried to look for alcohol smell.To say that he's not doing this knowingly."

I shook my head."There was none.He knew and he wanted to do this to me.""I really shouldn't have listened to you.I should have stayed."

I backed away."Why did you come,Sorin?""I wanted to sleep with you.Again.But after that just sleeping literally."

"Why me,though?It can't be just because I have stamina.Thanks to my first boyfriend,I had to have stamina."

"How many boyfriends did you have?""Two.First one is alive,second one is dead.Car crash.Literally the reason why I went to rehab."

He took a deep breath."I knew you went to rehab but that's it.I didn't look into your files."

Even though my hands were trembling,I stood up."I can't stay here.I just...I keep-I keep seeing him coming onto me.""Go up to the fire escape.You're staying with me."

"No."

"Why not?"

How am I going to tell him that I need to talk to Phoenix because this isn't the first time this happened?That I am going to have nightmares he won't know how to control?

"Because I have to stay with Phoenix.Even though he is at fault.""No!"I turned back to Sorin as I got my duffle bag."Sorin,you won't be able to handle me.I'm too much."

"So you want me to stay for someone I won't have again?!That's bullshit!"I nodded."To you?Yeah.To me?Very reasonable."

"I don't want to kiss you and trigger you but you can't just go!""You can't trigger me,Sorin.But it certainly wouldn't help."I started packing my stuff.

Sorin took out the clothes I placed in my bag."Sorin,enough!"I stuffed everything in and zipped up the bag.I got my usual back pack and started putting my drawing stuff in it.

I reached to my black leggings and my emerald green crop top.It was so cropped that my black lace bra was showing from underneath.

I took my leather jacket.I took off my contact lenses and wore my glasses with the clear frame.I grabbed my phone and Sorin just watched me in his own shock.

"Where?!"I turned to him."You're still going to follow me.I know that Sorin.Ever since you met me in that alley,you wanted to hurt me and you figured out that looking into your eyes hurt me."

"So?!"

"Now,you're going to follow me because you're scared.Not because you want to hurt me.Not anymore.And you know what?I want you to.I want to see you whenever I turn my head."

I called an Uber and made it to Phoenix's place."You changed your mind?""No,James tried to rape me and I can't get rid of the fear inside me anymore!You need to be awake tonight."

"I'm going to kill him!""No need.Sorin is already mad enough that he came into his territory."He sighed."Who stopped him?Certainly not Lux.""Sorin.Punched him.Knocked him out."

"He first follows you around and now he runs to your rescue?""Just because some people don't have humanity left in them,doesn't mean they have feelings for someone,Phoenix."

"Right.You hate him,I have nothing to worry about.Come in."

I went into my old bedroom and I got in bed with the clothes I came here.I was tired.The sun was about to rise in a few hours.
