Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.
Chapter 9 - You Leave A Bad Taste In My Mouth
I could feel his warm breath on my neck. I gently opened my sleep crusted eyes and sat forward. A sharp pain filled the back of my head and the pictures of last night were fuzzy. I looked down at Oli with his shirt off, laying with his arms around my hips.
I could hear tapping coming from the window. Gently, I lifted Oliver's arms off me and placed my feet onto the cold, hard floor. I stood up slowly, making sure that my hangover didn't get any worse.
"Rain." Whispered a gentle voice.
I spun my head at the window to see SJ, who was beckoning for me to come to her. It felt as though i was in a trance, i couldn't stop walking towards her, even though i knew i feared her.
"Come on Rain." She continued to whisper. "Open up the window."
My hands trembled as i turned the latch and opened it, feeling the cold air grasp me. SJ slipped her feet through first, and then her torso and head. She came to stand beside me and starred me in the eyes.
"Rain." Her tone had changed from gentle to taunting. "You worthless piece of shit!" She shouted at me before grabbing my arms and slamming me onto the ground. She pulled out a knife from her back pocket.
I shouted and cried out for Oliver, but when I looked up at the bed where he was asleep before, he was no longer there.
SJ slammed my head into the ground and i started to feel faint. She continued to beat me and insult me before silencing me with her hand.
"He can't save you." She mocked. Then she started to stare at her knife, glimmering in her hand and she gave me an awful smile before thrusting it into my stomach. I screamed out in pain.
Oli's POV
I starred at myself in the mirror. My pale skin and bloodshot eyes made me look awful. I looked like a cold blooded murderer. And I was. I turned on the tap and flicked up some water at my face. I watched the drips land in the sink one by one. I felt as though i was guilty for a lot of things. But i may have taken it too far this time.
I heard Rain scream in panic from behind the bathroom door. My hand slipped as i turned the tap off in a rush and slammed my weight against the door. She was laying in my bed with tears rolling down her eyes as she held her stomach.
I walked quickly towards her and offered her a hand, but she shuffled out of bed and ran into the bathroom before slamming the door behind her. I heard her gagging slightly over the toilet. I felt bad for her hangover and decided to comfort her. Opening the door slowly, I crept beside her and sat down.
"Why did you scream?" I asked her, placing my hand on her back as she leaned over the bowl.
"I had a bad dream." She said, curling over and rubbing her stomach.
I sat behind her and pulled her into my lap. "What was that about?" I asked reassuringly.
"SJ. She came to kill me. And you weren't there. No matter how hard I called for you, you weren't there to help me." She cried, smothering her face in the crook of my shoulder.
I cradled her softly. "I'll always be here for you." I said to her, stroking her forehead.
She settled down after a little while, and I left her to get dressed and come downstairs in her own time. I got out some aspirin for her and some iced tea. I could stay at home with her and take care of her today without interruption.
"Oli?" She said, peering round the stairs.
Spontaneous happiness filled my own eyes as well as hers as we smiled at each other. I ran over to her and lifted her around my waist, kissing her shoulder as i did so. She giggled and I walked her over to the sofa where i sat her down on me.
"Take these." I said, holding the aspirin out in my hand with the bottle of iced tea sitting on the coffee table.
She took the aspirin and curled up on me as we watched some TV. She seemed to be so content with my company. She flickered her eyelashes on my cheek and ran her fingers down my chest.
"I am really in love with you." She whispered in my ear as she climbed into my lap.
"I am too." I whispered in her ear. She smiled. And i don't think i have ever seen a more pleasurable smile in my life.
