How am I going to keep this a secret? What am I going to tell my friends and brother?

How am I going to avoid Caleb at school?

Does he even go to our school?

My mind is searching for answers at all my questions, but they don't find any. And after hours of tossing and turning I slowly drift off to sleep.

Now

"What could've possibly happened?" Someone whisper's

"I don't know, we'll have to wait till she wakes up" another person whispers

"But will she tell us? She clearly avoided us last night and she didn't answer any of our calls or texts either" the first person whispers again.

Mason and Jayden.

"And then all that blood on her shoulder" Mason whispers

I open my eyes and look around the room.

"Hey, how do you feel?" Mason asks me concerned and sits down on a chair, which stands beside my bed

How do I feel? Scared? My shoulder hurts really much, just like my leg. My emotions are all over the place and I feel a little weak from all the blood loss. My head is throbbing and I feel guilty as hell. But they don't need to know that.

"Fine" I shrug

Fine my áss.

"I'm going to be straight forward here sis, what happened?"

"And I know that you don't want to tell us, but you have to, it's too serious" Jayden continuous

I look at them and think of the events of last nights. It surprises me that I can remember every single thing, because I drank quite a lot.

"I went to the toilet, but fell when I walked back" I lie with a straight face

"Alex, you hit a guy in the face and told him to stay away from Jade, your dress was ripped and had blood stains everywhere, your hair was all over the place and you looked genuinely scared. Your shoulder stopped bleeding just an hour ago, you looked me straight in the eyes and ran away, you walked home, you didn't answer any of our calls or texts and you expect us to believe you?" Mason says and studies my face

"Sorry, I didn't want to worry you and someone told me that the guy was planning to rape Jade. I also didn't want you to leave the party for me. My dress ripped when I fell" I keep lying

"Dammit Alex, just tell us the truth" Jayden clenches his fists and goes with his hand through his hair in frustration

"This is the truth" I groan, avoiding eye contact with him

"Did Caleb do this to you?" Jayden asks and looks me straight in my eyes

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shít, I assumed that he didn't know that Caleb was there.

"W-what? What are you talking about Jay? Was Caleb there?" I ask, playing dumb and trying to get myself together

"Don't play dumb Alex, we saw him covered in blood, with a bleeding, blue eye and with the same color lipstick on his lips as on yours. Plus, he was shouting at that guy you hit in the face" Mason groans

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about"

"Goddammit Alex, why can't you just tell us the truth?" Jayden asks

"You're not good at lying, Alex" Mason sighs

I get out of bed and they stare in disbelief at my state. I look at my leg and shoulder. They probably didn't expect it to be this bad.

"And let me guess, you fell on your leg and those bruises came from your fall too?" Mason asks and he raises one eyebrow

"Yeah, I guess so"

I really don't plan on telling them. If they want to get it out of me? They should probably lock me up in my room without food. And I even doubt that would work.

They shake their head as I grab clean clothes and try to walk to the bathroom. I immediately give up on walking, because it hurts way too much. New plan, hopping to the shower.

I step under the shower and clean the blood of me.

When I get out, I sigh and look at myself in the mirror. I look tired and pale. At least there's make-up. I put on some concealer to cover up the bags under my eyes. I put my leggings and oversized sweater on.

I wonder how much my leg can actually take. I try to stand on it and walk, but fall down.

"Alex, are you okay? Do I have to help you?" Mason looks at me with an unreadable expression

"Yeah I'm fine, thank you, I don't need your help" I try to stand, but immediately fall back down again.

At least I know how much my leg can take.

"Yes, you do need my help" Mason gives me a sad smile and lifts me up.

He puts my arm around his shoulder and walks back to my room.

I sit down on my –now clean– bed and look at both boys.

"Thanks for cleaning my bed" I smile softly and look down.

It maybe doesn't seem like it, but I really hate lying to them.

"Okay Alex, I understand that you don't want to tell us. Hell, what am I talking about, I don't understand. Why can't you tell us the truth, Alex? And don't you dare lie to us again, we know you didn't fall. What the hell did he do to you this time?" Jayden asks me with tears in his eyes

Dang. He never cries, like never. He got in a car accident a few years ago and he had broken ribs, a broken leg and a broken arm and he didn't even cry. I don't think I've ever seen him with tears in his eyes, let alone cry.

"Jay, you know why I don't want to tell you if there is something going on. But there's nothing going on" I sigh, looking away from him. I can't stand seeing him like this.

Then tell him.

I sigh and look from Mason to Jayden and back.

"Because you think I will tell mom?"

I nod and shake my head at the same time.

"That's not the only thing" I sigh.

"I don't want help; I can handle it myself. I don't want you guys to worry, because it's not needed and I want to be able to solve it myself. I'm not going to drag you down in the mess I made. I'm fine, because nothing happened"

"Lex, it is needed, he kidnapped you last year for goodness sake" Jayden groans

"He did WHAT?!" Mason looks shocked and angry at the same time

"I'll leave you two alone" Jayden says and walks away

"I expect you to tell me everything, when you're done talking to Mason"Jayden eyes me and walks out of my room
