Chapter 18: Cold Shower

After leaving the hospital we head back to Cedar Grove Sanitarium, where Pyramid's lair is located, once I notice where we are going, I begin complaining.

"Why are we going back? Why cant we go back to the apartments? I don't want to go back there…are you planning to rape me or something?" I stop walking as he stops once realizing I have stopped half a second later.

'No, I will not rape you. Unless you want me to.' He turns to face me.

"Uh…that is not rape then…and no I don't want you to…"

A voice in the distance catches my attention, as I recognize it to be that of that Red guy…

"HEYYY" He shouts as he runs down the road towards us, spear in hand.

"…Oh god…" I begin moving closer to Pyramid, even though I don't feel safer with one or the other.

Pyramid then moves as Red gets close enough, moving in front of me defensively and aggressively towards him, his weapon at his side blocking further access to me and also showing Red that he won't hesitate to inflict pain on him.

"Ay ay ay…I'm not going to hurt her so get that stick out of your ass and chill." He says, approaching us as he comes to a stop near Pyramid, Red then moves his helmet as if looking at me, "You look like a mop by the way."

I look like a mop?

I then begin realizing I haven't showered since I got here…I can only imagine how nasty I look.

As the two seem to be communicating as silence goes on, I attempt to walk away only for Pyramid's weapon to drag over and block my path.

"I need to get back to the apartments! I need to shower! Please! I feel disgusting!"

He seems to be contemplating on this as he remains silent.

'Go, I will catch up to you. I can allow you to do this on your own as I know if you try anything I can easily get you back.'

"Why are you still being attached to me like I'm your property? You found out what significance I have to this place and should have no reason to still be on me about this."

He remains silent as he motions for me to go.

I sigh and walk away and towards the area where the apartments are.

Thankfully my memory remembered where it was located as I finally arrive and enter my room, shutting the door behind me.

As I enter the bathroom, I look in a mirror hesitantly. My black hair obviously coated in oil, dirt and who knows what else. My skin is always free of any zits, moles or birthmarks, which still is free of zits surprisingly. I look dehydrated, which can be fixed easily. My black hair rests around mid-waist-length and has faded red highlights which start quite a distance from the ends of my hair all the way down to the ends. I have bangs which stop right above my eyebrows. My makeup is faded and mostly gone, the only makeup I wear is eye shadow and eyeliner as well as a very little bit of peach color on my cheeks to make my skin seem more beautiful, as my friends would say.

I look away from the mirror, filled with shame.

I look so nasty.

Slipping off my shoes, I discard my new clothes as I throw them onto the floor of the bathroom as I shut and lock the door.

Turning on the water, I test it.

Great, cold. No hot water, just my luck.

I grab the leftover body wash, shampoo and conditioner and enter the shower, pulling the shower curtain closed as the cold water touches my bare skin, forming thousands of goosebumps and making my hair on my body stand up.

As I shower in ice cold water, I find a razor and shave. As I shave my legs, the speed in which I shave them causes me to cut my knee as I whimper in pain, blood running down, mixing with the water and going down the drain.

As I finish washing and shaving I turn the water off and sit there for a little bit, shivering terribly, my skin pale and blueish.

As I pull the curtain aside, I scream out in fear as I spot Pyramid leaning against a wall across from the shower, facing me, Instantly I grab a towel and wrap it around my freezing body.

"Holy shit! How did you get in here?! Why are you in here!?"

'I opened the door. I am in here because I want to be. Do you have a problem with that?'

"Yes I do have a problem with that! Have you ever heard of privacy!" I shout as I grab my clothes and leave the bathroom, only for him to grab me before even opening the door.

To my surprise, he forces me to drop the towel and my clothes as he pulls me against him as he then pulls open the door and goes into the bedroom as he then sits on the bed.

Holy fucking shit…my god…he is so fucking warm…oh my god…

Without even realizing, I basically huddle as close as I possibly can to him as he grabs the blanket and wraps it around the both of us, his body heat getting trapped inside the blanket, warming me even more.

'Trying to get yourself sick is not a good idea.'

"…Yea right…as if I tried getting myself sick…there is no hot water, only cold freezing water…"

He then moves me so I am not all curled up, now I am sitting on his lap, legs on both sides of him as my body is against his chest.

My face flushes a deep red as I embrace him, warming my body even more as I am positive the blueness in my skin has disappeared.

…If this isn't heaven then I don't know what is…
