Chapter X | Christian's POV
It's now 1am and Friday. I'm driving to Ana's house because tonight we're going to that concert.
What I still can't seem to get out of my mind is the name Alessa
Who the hell is Alessa? Ana seems to be going by that name now. Ever since I called her out by that name I've been worried.
Why would she create an alias for herself?
But anyways, to be honest, I really don't wanna go to a concert. I'm only going because it's a great excuse to just hang out with her. I'd go to any suckish concert for her.
I know she told me to stay away after the concert is over but I don't think I can do that. Seeing her face makes my heart accelerate.
It confused me how relaxed I felt when her head was on my chest when I was carrying her out of that place.
I welcomed her touch, and that's what scares me the most because I've never welcomed anyone's touch...
I repeatedly tap the steering wheel with my thumb. I still can't believe I'm going to a concert. I don't even know who the artist is for fuck sake.
I get out of the car and walk towards her house.
I knock on the door and Ana opens it and comes out with a black travel bag. I eye her suspiciously and she looks at me confused, then the realization dawns in.
''I need clothes.'' She says.
''Yea, um—'' I clear my throat. ''Right.''
Trying so hard to get the image of her naked, out of my head. Her body must be so perfect...
''So... Are you just going to stand there? Or are you gonna show me to your car?'' She asks.
I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts, and nod my head. ''Follow me.'' I walk back to the car and open the door to the passenger side. She gets in and I get in the driver's seat and start the car.
''So... What we're gonna do is stay at a hotel. Sleep till maybe 9am, have breakfast. Chill, and go out and get some supplies for the... Concert—'' She says uncertainly. ''And we should be set by 11pm... That's when it starts. Got it?''
11pm... That's a rare time for a concert to start. Oh what ever. I nod and she gives me the directions of the hotel we'll be staying at.
''This is nice..'' I say as we walk into our hotel room.
''Yeah I know... You take the bed by the window.'' I nod.
A part of me is stoked I get to share a room for Ana. Another part of me is annoyed that it's only for 2 days.
I take my shirt off and put some gray sweats on.
Grabbing my toothbrush, I walk into the bathroom to see Ana in a white tank top and gray sweats and her hair tied up in a bun. She's all natural, and she still looks beautiful.
She's putting toothpaste on her toothbrush then hands the paste to me. I do the same and we start brushing our teeth at the same time.
I look at her in the mirror, only to catch her glancing at my chest then looking away. I start to feel uncomfortable.
We both finish at the same time and grab two small paper cups and full it with water. We start rinsing our mouth.
She spits the water back in the sink first then dries her mouth with a small bath towel then leaves.
I do the same and walk back to my bed.
I look at Ana and she looks peaceful when she sleeps. I turn off the lamp next to the bed and drift off to sleep.
I'm hiding under the bed and I see the pimp kicking mommy in her stomach. I can't watch this any longer, I have to help my mommy!
I crawl out from under the bed and grab the pimps foot to try to stop him from kicking mommy again.
''No Christian, no!'' Mommy yells.
He ends up kicking me in the stomach, it hurts so much. Mommy make him stop!
''Leave him alone! Please he has nothing to do with this!'' Mommy begs
''I want my money you bitch!'' He screams.
He stops kicking me and starts to drag me into the living room. I hear mommy crying. I'm crying too.
He pushes me down on the sofa and slaps me repeatedly.
''Mommy'' I cry.
He laughs at me then takes my shirt off.
He walks over to a little table and lights up a cigarette, I keep looking at the room where mommy is in.
He turns around and I look at him. He looks at me, then back to the cigarette, then back at me again and he smirks.
He slaps me twice as hard that I land on the floor, my crying is getting louder. ''Mommy mommy please mommy!'' I cry out.
He has this evil smirk on his face.
He brings the cigarette to me and smashes it on my chest. I scream.
I jolt awake, and I'm drenched in sweat. I wipe my face and pull at my hair.
I see light coming from the outside of our room.
Confused, I turn on the bedside lamp only to see that Ana's not in her bed. I jump up and walk towards the door. It's open.
I look outside the door to the right of the hallway and there's no one there.
I look to the left and I see Ana standing there, facing away from me. I slowly walk towards her.
Once I reach her, I walk in front of her and her eyes are open and she's staring at the end of the hall. She looks dazed.
''Ana..'' I say softly.
She doesn't acknowledge me. Is she sleepwalking?
''Anastasia..'' I say while I rub my hands up and down her arms. She's still looking straight ahead.
There's nothing there, what the hell is she looking at?
I turn back to face her and she's looking directly at me.
''Ana..'' I whisper.
She blinks a couple of times. ''What are we doing out here?'' She asks me, confused.
She must of been sleepwalking. ''Just come inside.''
She nods and walks back to her bed and quickly falls back asleep..
I stare at her for a couple of minutes before lying down on my bed. I gaze at the ceiling wonder what the hell just happened.
