I actually finished this chapter with chapter 10 but I decided to cut in half :). I gave you the first half yesterday and this is the other half.
I'm not really happy with this chapter (it's kind of rubbish) but here it is anyway
Reviews are requested ;)
Chapter 11
Sophie pov
'Oh Donny! You couldn't kiss me like that and not mean it just a teensy bit! Meet the greatest actor in the world! I'd rather kiss a tarantula. You don't mean that. I don't - - Hey Joe, get me a tarantula.'
The voice of Gene Kelly echoed through the video room. I kept steeling glances at Sian. I couldn't believe what had happened. She caught me looking at her; I quickly looked back to the screen before I could meet her eyes. . We'd been having these awkward silences and intense glances for 2 weeks now. But she kept her distance (thankfully) since that night in the kitchen. I closed my eyes and sighed I could feel her eyes on me.
"This is my favorite movie, and I can't even watch it properly" I thought
"You okay?" Mary asked trough mouthfuls of crisps. I nodded, she smiled at me and put her head on my shoulder and snuggled into me. Over the last couple of weeks I started to like Mary. I rested my head on hers and smiled.
As the movie went on I could feel Mary's breath on my neck. When Sian used to do that to me I could feel the hair on my back standing straight up. But Mary just didn't feel as comfortable as Sian did. I took the risk to look at Sian again; she was smirking at the movie. I wanted to walk over to her and sit by her side, but the fading bruise on Mary's face stopped me.
She turned her gaze to me and the smile on her face vanished, my heart skipped a beat when our eyes met. We kept staring at each other for what seemed an eternity. She just seemed so… I don't know… hurt and jealous?
I didn't realize I was breathing heavily until I felt Mary's head shifting, now looking right up at me. "You sure you're all right?"
I didn't bother looking at her or Sian again; I got up and went back to my room.
Sian pov
I saw Sophie leaving. "This is my chance" I thought.
I quickly got up and crept out of the room in the hope Mary wouldn't notice my absence. I almost ran to Sophie's room. I didn't bother knocking, I just went in. As I closed the door I locked it.
I saw a very angry Sophie getting up from her bed and approaching me.
"Please, Sophie all I ask is 5 minutes" I begged her. She tried to walk past me and unlock the door, but I grasped her hand that was on the doorknob.
"Please, Soph I can explain everything" I looked into her eyes as I gulped.
She was hesitating, but she eventually let go of the doorknob and went back to sit on her bed, arms crossed.
I was almost panting; my heart was beating so fast. She raised her eyebrows; she was waiting for me to begin.
"Okay, Mary she's not who she says she is" she scoffed. "I'm serious Soph, she's dangerous." I stated
"Last year… "I hesitated, but I saw I caught her attention so I continued.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes "here goes nothing" I thought
"Last year, I was Mary's roommate. She was my best friend okay, we did everything together. Mary was diagnosed with schizophrenia paranoia. It basically means that she thinks everybody is out to get her. I thought I could help her and she trusted me but…. One evening I caught her sabotaging the electricity plug of our psychiatrist at the time. She told me that if I said anything to anybody, she would make my life hell." I told her
I noticed that tears were forming in my eyes, but I tried not to let them fall.
"The guy… who was our psychiatrist… he… he got hurt really bad and I didn't know what to do. For months I kept quiet, but I just… I couldn't take it anymore so I told Gertie about it. When Mary found out, she got so mad…. I betrayed her I know that… but I didn't know what to do." I was breathing heavily.
"The months that followed, she made my life hell and those I cared about. By the end she almost killed me. If Kathy hadn't found me in time, I don't …" I said as I looked at the floor
Silence filled the room. She was staring at me with no expression on her face
'knock knock knock'
"Sophie? Why is the door locked, are you okay?" I heard Mary say.
I started to panic; I shook my head at her, begging not to open the door. She pursed her lips and went to open the door anyway.
"What are you doing here" she asked me as she scrunched her face.
The lump in my throat was getting bigger and bigger. I looked at Sophie who was now looking at the ground.
"I think you should go" she stated. I looked one last time in Sophie's eyes and left the room.
…
As I started walking back to my room, the tears I tried so hard the hide found their way out. I started walking faster to my room as I felt someone pulling at my arm.
"sophie" I looked at her in relief.
She shuffled closer to me and cupped my face brushing my tears away. She took my hand and led me to the dining room that was deserted.
I was looking around to make sure nobody… "I believe you" I heard her say. I widened my eyes. "Did she just talk?" I turned my head to her, she was smiling shyly.
"Uhm thanks… I … did you just speak?" I asked her still shocked.
She chuckled. "Speak again" I blurted out. She pursed her lips and looked at the ground.
"Sorry. Still not much of a talker ay" I joked. She shook her head smirking at me.
"At least it's a start" I thought
She sat on the table and looked in my eyes. I stared into her eyes, and then looked at her lips and back into her eyes. I subconsciously licked my lips. I was leaning closer to her, placing my hands on her thighs. I noticed she started breathing more heavily.
We were so close our noses were touching. But soon the moment was ruined by the lights going on. I groaned out of frustration.
"Am I interrupting something?" Gertie asked obviously not impressed.
Sophie quickly jumped off the table and ran out of the dining room. I was stood there alone with Gertie. I was kind of startled by her actions but I let it go.
"This is awkward" I joked
"Sian, I hope you won't do anything foolish" she said sternly
I looked at her as I bit my lip. "Define foolish" I said slowly.
"You know what I mean." She said, I didn't reply
"You know intimate relationships aren't allowed… and even if it was… Sophie, she just got here. She's in a much too vulnerable state right now." She said stroking my arm.
"You call that foolish?" I snapped at her "what I call foolish is letting a psycho back in here". I started to say.
"What I find even more foolish is letting her share a room. What! Do you plan your death rate or just go along with it!" I shouted
"Sian" she took a hold of me. "Don't touch me, she tried to kill me" I stated.
"There were no places left…" she started to say but I cut her off "Oh save it" I spat at her
I went to look for Sophie.

"What the fuck was that? O god no, I'm starting to fall for her. No, no, no I can't' feel this way" my mind was ranting.
I was leaning against the wall to catch my breath when someone approached me. It was Mary.
"What's on your mind? You look like you've seen a ghost" she joked. I scoffed at her.
She frowned "what's up your ass?" she asked me as she got annoyed.
"You know it's really rude not to answer people" she smirked; I pushed her away and started walking to my door.
I felt an arm around my waist pulling me back to the wall. "Hey I'm sorry, that was a bad joke" she acted all apologetic, I wanted to belief her. "Maybe what Sian said is true, but maybe Mary's changed" I thought.
I looked at her again and tried to get out of her grip, but she held on. Then out of nowhere she gripped my waist and started kissing me forcefully. I pushed her shoulders softly
"I don't want this "I thought. She got the message eventually and pulled away. I was about o go back to my room when I saw Sian running in the opposite direction.
"Fuck, she must think…" I panicked as I followed her, leaving Mary behind.
I finally was able to catch her, but she pulled back.
I placed my hand on her shoulder and I saw the panic in her eyes. I quickly caught on "she's having another panic attack" I realized.
She looked so helpless. "O fucking god" I thought
"Sian, look at me" I said, she looked at me as a smile formed on her lips, but she kept clenching her throat.
"Just look into my eyes and breathe" I said cupping her face.
After a while her panting started to disappear as she started laughing. I furrowed my brows "what the hell is she laughing at" I thought.
She looked into my eyes and saw my confusion.
"It takes me having a panic attack for you to talk to me" she giggled
I started laughing with her. She took hold of both of my shoulders and hugged me.
I hugged her back inhaling her scent. "Please tell me that kiss was just Mary forcing herself on you" I heard her whisper her body tensing up. I nodded against her shoulder.
She released a sigh of relief. I could feel her body relax. Without thinking I kissed the side of her neck and hugged her even more tightly.
