Luna

Chapter eight

I woke up from the stabbing pain in my ribs. My eyes flutter open and I see I'm not alone in my room. Kayden is sleeping next to me, his arm still wrapped around my torso. I have a vague recollection of the events before my unconscious state, but it's still a little blurry. 

They know. 

It's just a matter of time before my brothers realize they don't want a used broken girl in their home. All of a sudden my destroying emotions crash over me, bringing me back to the overwhelmed state I was in yesterday. 

The walls are heading towards me, I can't breathe properly and feel hands all over my dirty body. I leave my bed as quietly as possible, Kayden can't wake up, it's impossible to face them now my brothers know.

I finally reach the bathroom and lock the door when I close it. My muffled cries become uncontrollable sobs. I'm reliving these horrible events with Nick, his touch marking every spot on my skin. 

My wobbly legs head towards the shower in the meantime I remove all clothes who are smothering me. I feel the boiling water dripping of my body. I scrub every inch of my skin red while balling my eyes out. 

"Don't touch me," I'm whispering to myself, desperately trying to stop the disgusting feeling. 

I keep scrubbing, not caring about worsening some previous cuts. 

I'm a wreck. 

This feeling is unbearable, too overwhelming. I can't live like this. 

I find myself standing before the mirror looking at my fragile body. My eyes roam over to the 'N' scar above my right collarbone. I expect to feel  more tears falling down my cheeks, but there are none. 

Numbness is spreading through me. it's like a duvet is placed over my senses, bringing my mind to a blank space. 

I'm back fully clothed laying in my empty bed staring through my window.

Kayden's POV.

My eyes flutter open when I don't feel a small warm body lying across me. I realize she's taking a shower when I hear movement in the bathroom. 

Maybe I should give Luna some space, I don't want to overwhelm her and sent her back into a panic attack. 

I decided to got to the kitchen, grabbing some food. It was currently evening, we only slept for a few hours. 

Cole had started preparing dinner while the rest of my brothers were watching him. Ethan's eyes landed on me and asked how Luna was doing. 

"She slept for a few hours, but I left when she was in the bathroom. I wanted to give her some privacy." I explained to them. 

Only now noticing Aiden was not here. "Where is Aiden?" 

"He went for a walk to blow off some steam. You know he can't handle his emotions in these situations." Cole replied. 

Aiden was a ticking time bomb when he's angry. We know he will explode, but I hope it isn't in front of Luna. 

I don't blame him for being angry, I mean, we are all boiling inside. Aiden's problem is that he can't control himself, it's just a matter of time before he lets it all out. 

It has been four hours since Luna confessed her past to us. I suspect they already have him locked up at the basement, otherwise they wouldn't be here in the kitchen. 

I smile darkly when I think about the things I'm going to do to him. Ethan noticed the change in my expression and sighs.

"Don't get too excited Kayden, he's not here yet," he says through gritted teeth.
