I'm back :)
"Morning,"Eddie said sullenly as he noticed Rachel awake beside him."Morning,"she replied sleepily as she sat up against the headboard,bringing her kneed up close to her body. Eddie joined sheepishly but never averting his gaze away from her face. "When do you want to have this conversation?" Rachel asked bluntly,brining her kneed closer to her chest. "Whenever you're ready to talk,"Eddie replied,hopefully making her feel more relaxed about having this conversation,which most likely would end up in tears. "Give me five minutes," she said getting off the bed and going to her en-suite. Eddie sat up further in the bed,running his hands through his hair and sighing.
Rachel entered her bathroom,she locked the door behind her,noticing the tremor she had gained,she didn't know wether it was down to nervous or relief that had suddenly flowed through her at the thought of Eddie not judging her. Rachel made her way over to the bathroom sink,before looking up into the mirror that hung above it. Rachel's eyes were red and puffy from crying yesterday,her cheeks were hit and flushed a deep red,she looked overly tired and depressed. Rachel switched the cold water tap on and listened quietly to the relaxing sound of it running,before splashing her face with water, to hopefully make her feel better. The cold water stung as it hit her burning cheeks making them cool down. Rachel switched off the tap and then slid down the cool white tiles,she removed her shoes and her jacket which she still wore from the previous day. After they were discarded she rested her head against the tiles,closing her eyes trying but failing to think straight. It wasn't working,so she switched the shower on the coldest temperature before walking in fully clothed. She sat down again,bringing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms tightly around them. The flow of the cold water was pounding onto her face and she was hoping all her worries would wash down the drainpipe and all.
Eddie looked at the clock that sat on Rachel's bedside table,next to a book and lamp. Rachel had been in there for nearly half an hour now and he was beginning to worry. Eddie lifted himself off of the bed and made his way over to the bathroom door,gently knocking on it,"Rach you ok?" There was no reply,silence except for the occasional shaky breath to be heard. Eddie knew this would happen,that she would begin to lock herself away from the outside world...again. He knocked again but this time louder,still no reply. Eddie found a hair clip that lay discarded on Rachel's dressing table and started fumbling with the lock,"Rach I'm coming in!" He warned as the door unlocked...
