Elliot's POV
It's been 2 months already and I was bound to go home at any moment. I had just woken up and it was about 9 in the morning. I look over to see that my roommates stuff is missing. I guess he got out early? Hopefully nothing bad happened to him though.
Just as I get up and put on my pants, the nurses knock on my door and tell me to pack my stuff because Jace was coming in about 20 minutes. I can't wait to see him. He didn't even say a word to me when he was "saying goodbye" to me in the hospital. I pack my bags and set them outside of my door for the nurses to take outside to the car once he gets here. I stop one of the nurses thats passing by to grab my stuff and ask them a question. "Excuse me? Where is my roommate? Did he get sent home today?"
The nurse looks at me for a second and gives me a sad look. "I'm sorry Elliot. I'm not aloud to tell you what happened." They walk away. What happened that was that bad? Are they scared that they are going to "trigger" me?
This is the problem with going to a mental hospital or showing any signs of a mental illness. Everybody treats you like an untamed animal. They never know what's going to push you over the edge and what's going to make you snap. Or in this case, they never know what's going to "trigger" you. People don't talk to you as much because they are scared they are going to say something and you are gonna "go off the deep end" as they call it.
I throw my bag over my shoulder and wait outside with a nurse standing by my bags. When I see Jaces car pull in my heart starts racing. I havent seen him or touched him in any way in 2 months. I can't wait to kiss the one and only man I love.
When he pulls up he gets out of the car and I run into his arms. He holds my head into his chest. "Oh my gosh. I missed you so much Elliot." He says.
The nurse picks up my bags and puts them in the trunk of Jaces car. I look up at Jace and silently ask him for a kiss. He leans down and kisses me. Ive missed this so much. We must have stayed there for at least 30 minutes because the nurse was long gone by the time we let to. We get into the car and we drive home.
We sit in silence for a little while. I start getting this weird vibe from Jace. He puts his hand on the inside of my thigh and feels me up. He looks over at me and smirks. Ive missed the way he touches me.
When we get home he grabs almost all of my bags in one go and i grab the rest. He locks the car and we head inside. We put the bags in his room and I ask, "Where are your parents?"
"They are at work. Why do you ask?" He says with a wide grin on his face.
"Nothing im just wondering where they were-" he cuts me off with a passionate kiss. I try to mumble words out but he just wont let go.
I shove him off of me. "Jace, stop. I'm not horny." I say in a firm voice.
"I can make you horny." He says with a devilish look on his face.
"Jace. No. I'm tired. I want to go to bed." I look down and right below my feet I see an olive color coming from under his bed. I reach down to pick it up and realize it is a lace bra. I pick it up and hold it in shock for a moment while Jace looks at me in disappointment.
"Jace what the fuck is this?" I say almost cracking at the thought of what could've happened.
"It's my moms no big deal." He snatches it out of my hands. "You really think I would cheat on you? I would never!" He starts to raise his voice at me.
"What do you mean you wouldn't cheat on me??? You already don't see me as a boyfriend so you might as well just go fuck other people then huh?"
"I DO SEE YOU AS MY BOYFRIEND."
"NO YOU DONT. THE DOCTORS TOLD ME WHAT YOU SAID, JACE. I GUESS WE ARE JUST BEST FRIENDS WHO SLEEP WITH EACH OTHER. IF YOUR THAT ASHAMED OF ME THEN JUST TELL ME." I almost start crying but I hold back the tears.
"I NEVER TOLD THE DOCTORS THAT. YOU WERE ON A LOT OF MEDS IN THAT HOSPITAL. THIS IS MY MOMS OKAY? IT GOT MIXED IN WITH MY PILE OF LAUNDRY. YOU HAPPY NOW!?" He holds up the bra in my face.
"I-Im sorry Jace. I just thought that-" I get cut off by him.
"You need to stop assuming things, bitch. Cause I'm about tired of it." He points at me. "You can't even realize that I'm all you need. But instead you decide you are going to fucking kill yourself. So if anything you are ashamed of me you fucking coward."
I sit on the edge of the bed with my jaw dropped. I can't believe he just said that to me. What the actual fuck. And then I feel a sudden sharp pain across my face.
