“Bella, Come on! I know you’re a girl, but how much longer do you really need!” I ignored him; I just wanted to be alone with my thoughts, at how I was going to handle this. “I hope you’re decent, because I’m coming in.” He called through the pine door. The handle began to twist and my eyes without delay set on the door knob. I only realised I hadn’t locked it when it began to slowly open, revealing Cain’s masculine head. I gasped and grabbed the towel off of the floor. My knees buckled at the pain that was shooting throughout my whole body as I grabbed the basin to hold me up. Cain looked at me suspiciously.

“Bella?” His eyes tried to meet mine, but I turned, my back facing me. “When you didn’t answer, I started to, well worry.”

“What? That I might have topped myself? Thanks for that, Cain.”

“Bella,” His voice turned serious. “Face me.”

“What? No, I’m not ready. Give me twenty minutes.”

“Look at me, Bella.” When I refused, I saw his hand rise out of the corner of my eye. I tried to dodge out of its way, but his hand fixed itself on my chin, jerking my head to face him.

“Oh. My. God.” He breathed; his hand dropping from my face instantly as I panted through the pain. I  knew what was coming; questions, questions and more questions. “What the fuck happened to you? Who the hell did this to you?!” He roared at me.

“I fell, okay. Just leave it.”

“You fell?” He scoffed, “Your telling me you mashed your face up this bad by falling. Come on, Bells. How stupid do you think I am?”

“It’s true! I forgot to get a drink after you left before I went up to bed. I got really thirsty so I went to get one. I didn’t want to put the light on because I know how bright it is and didn’t want to wake Damian,” I spat his name through my teeth. I hated having to say that bastard’s name. “You know me; I tripped on my foot and fell down the stairs.”

“Oh god, Bells. What are you fucking like! You scared the hell out of me!” He pulled me towards him, squeezing me as close as he could against him. “You been to the doctors Bella. You could have broken something.”
