Axel's P.O.V.
Deep breaths.
In, out. In, out.
Come on. It's not like it's fucking hard.
But it is, it is, it really fucking is.
Still keeping my eyes shut, I refuse to move. I'm still, pretending not to be awake at the moment. Actually, I think I'm trying not to fucking be alive right now. I don't really want to breathe. It seems like it would be useless, kind of just prolonging the inevitable. I woke up half an hour ago without the f
Sophie's P.O.V.I wake up again with the sick feeling in my stomach, which makes me run to the toilet and empty out my empty stomach. Again.Considering the dreams I had, my body's reaction does not surprise me.I crumble beside the toilet after I'm done. This time, the house is alone. This time, nobody comes to check if I'm okay. Not like it helps, anyway. Not that it'd make me okay.Yesterday Sonia came to pick me up at the train station and I could see in her eyes that she knew it happened, again. She didn't say a word, however. It
Axel's P.O.V.Phone buzzing brings be out of the shitty sleep and dream I had. I groan and reach out with my hand, feeling for the fucking phone but instead touching something wet, cold and sticky.Fuck me, that's vomit.I pull back my fucking hand and groan. Fucking disgusting.Standing up, I run to the bathroom to empty out the rest of my stomach into the shitty toilet in this cheap hotel room. While vomiting my ass off because of all the alcohol consumed yesterday, pieces of her come back to me, like they always fucking do.
My muscles hurt, they hurt like they've never hurt before but I continue to punch the fucking bag in front of me.In my mind, a scene from when I almost died keeps repeating like a shitty movie, and I never want it to happen again, never want to let anyone have the power over me the way Greyson had, so I keep on punching the fucking bag.Hold on, keep it up, only five more fucking minutes and then you can take a breath, Axel.I'm so focused on hitting the punching bag that when a hand touches my shoulder, I almost knock out the owner of the hand.
I gape at him. "What? That's impossible."He nods. "It is. For normal boxers. For boxers whose mentors are part-owners of the league, however, it isn't." he says and smirks."You own the league? The big league? The one whose fights are world famous and streamed on television?" I continue to gape at the motherfucker. Only now do I realize that he's wearing the most expensive brand of sportswear there is."Well, about 20% of it, yeah. And this gym." he says and nods with his head towards the emormous space we're in.I shake my head. "I d
"What?!" I screeched. There's no way I heard him correctly."I said pack your things because you're moving back home. Don't make me say it again." dad replies with slightly narrowed eyes and annoyed voice.I shake my head. "No, I'm not moving back to Missoula. This is my home now. I mean, I can't go back... Sonia, did you know about this?" I ask my aunt, who still refuses to look at me.Dad sighs. "She said that these last days you've been vomiting and crying and that she thinks going back to Missoula might help you get better, you know because of Amber and Liam." dad explains.
Sophie's P.O.V.The next couple of weeks flow by slowly. Majority of my time I spend at home, watching TV shows and cuddling with Wolfie.The doghouse and the fence aren't even close to being built yet, so he's with me inside at all times and I couldn't be happier. He's become my best friend and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.Amber and Liam were happy that I was back, but I couldn't help feeling like they felt as if some burden had returned back.Lately, I felt like a burden a lot; I hope it's just my imagination.
I stare at her for a second, letting the words echo in my mind until they get a meaning, and then, I laugh.I laugh right in her face, uncontrollable laughter, making my body shake."No, doctor, I... I can't be pregnant. I'm only seventeen." I say through laughter."I'm glad you find this amusing, Sophie. I'm sure your parents won't."My laugh dies down at her words."Are you sure?" I ask her and she shrugs. "All symptoms indicate towards it.
Axel's P.O.V."Are you okay? You seem a bit off today, my boy." coach says as I keep on punching the same fucking bag, which has become my biggest friend and my biggest enemy at the same time over the past two weeks.I decide not to reply and keep on punching, seeing the coach sigh out the corner of my eye. "Stop. Just stop." he demands, putting his hand on my shoulder and forcefully pulls me away.I sigh this time and look in the distance, wishing he didn't pull me away from my stress reliever. I'm already on the fucking edge, I don't need him pulling me over.
