It started with a whisper... {COMPLETED}

Chapter 21 - Shattered glass

(Alex's Pov)

I looked at grim, her eyes were glued on the road, her lips were glued shut she was never this quiet. I turned to look at Kylee, her eyes met mine and she signalled me to talk to her, I nodded and turned back to the front. 

"What were you two suggesting?"

I looked at grim and her head turned to me, she raised an eyebrow and her expression got colder, she faced back to the road and sighed, the car filling with silence again. 

"Grim, we see how you look at Tom"

"What's your point?"

"You like him don't you?"

I looked at her hands which tightened their grip around the wheel, her jaw clenched and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Alex, we all know I swore I won't fall for anyone again, not after what Charles did to me"

"Grim, please"

"No!"

she rose her voice but not enough to scare anyone, it was a mix between a yell and her normal voice but she sounded weak... like she was...

"Grim are you scared?"

"Of what?"

"Being in love again?"

"You want the truth? Fine."

I turned to Kylee and gave her a reassuring smile, grim never told us what happened on her wedding day or before it. All that we knew is that Charles made out with one of her best friends. 

"The night before my wedding, I was walking back to the hotel when I heard something coming from our room."

Tears started flooding her eyes, her voice started hitching under her breath, I placed my hand on her knee and gave it a light squeeze. 

"I opened the door, and I saw him with Samantha, I couldn't stand being there so I ran, I had to suck it up my wedding was the next day, but you girls know the rest, I was walking up the aisle and I saw them again...  so once again me being a weak stupid PATHETIC 14 YEAR OLD!... I ran and that was that"

Kylee's mouth was wide open, so was mine I never knew those two slept together. Grim pulled the car outside a house, kylee opened the door and stepped out, we both followed. 

"So... yes I'm scared of loving again, thats why I only have one night stands and nothing else I don't wanna be hurt again I don't wanna make the same mistakes"

We both hugged her and she pulled away, her phone started ringing and she answered it walking out to the driver's side of the car. I stayed with Kylee and walked her to the door, A heavy feeling filled my guts I shouldn't turn my back on Grim... The thought was broken when I heard an ear-piercing scream and the screeching sound of breaks. I turned around and saw two tail lights driving off into the distance, and glass surrounding a body. 

"GRIM!"

I ran over to her and knelt down next to her, her head was surrounded by a puddle of deep crimson red liquid, blood streamed from her nose and out the corner of her mouth. Her eyes fading close, her breathing slowing down. 

"KYLEE CALL THE AMBULANCE! NOW!"

I watched as Kylee frantically talked on the phone, I turned back to grim and cradled her cheeks, a few minutes past and we were joined by the echoing sounds of ambulances and cop cars. Kylee and I rode in the ambulance with Grim, I wasn't going to let her out of my sight again. we arrived at the hospital shortly after, we weren't allowed in the emergency room. Tears flooded my eyes and i picked up my phone, calling someone who I needed to see. 

"Hel-"

"Blair..."

"Hey, babe whats u-"

"Grim..."

"Wait... what happ-"

"S-she's i-in the h-hostpial..."
