Her Freezing Heart

After a lot of growling and shouting, we all settled down on the living room couch. The dinner lay forgotten. Caleb and Carter were growling lowly in their throats from time to time. The tension in the room could be cut with a butter knife but no one looked more irritated and angry than Alec.

“So?” Alec hissed when I didn’t say a word.

“Well three days ago… or was it four…” Alec glared at me when I stopped to count the days. “Okay so it was Asher’s birthday. That much I remember. I wasn’t feeling well since the night prior to his birthday. I don’t know why but I felt weak. In the morning, I called Asher but till then a light pain had started in my chest. I don’t know if it was physical pain or something else but I felt these sharp pains in my chest. The day went by and as I was not feeling well, we that is Aaron and I cancelled our plan to go out and stayed at home to watch movies. At seven or so I went downstairs to pick up our pizza delivery but the pain became more prominent and I felt a little dizzy. But Aaron was in the bathroom so there was no one to get the pizza. I went down alright. I mean not alright but at least I could walk. The pain was bearable. But as I started ascending the stairs the sharp pains intensified and on the landing it just went through the room. I think I screamed bloody murder.” I said embarrassed. “I crawled my way up and started walking to our apartment door but the pain was killing me. I couldn’t see properly as the pain was that much agonising. I reached the door and passed out. Steven, our neighbour had heard me scream so came to check and I fell in through his door thinking it was mine. He called Cassidy to check me up as she is a doctor and so is Grayson. When I woke up, they told me I was out for three days.”

After I finished I looked up at the people sitting in front of me. Alec looked to be in shock. Caleb and Carter on the other hand looked mad and disgusted. What did I do?

“You know what is happening to her don’t you?” Cassidy asked them.

“Yeah.” Caleb gritted out and Carter nodded.

They looked quite ashamed.

from their plates. After that I took a shower and put on my jacket to go to the cabin. Alec looked reluctant to let me go alone but Caleb and Cassidy talked him out of it. As soon as I reached the edge of the forest I contacted Ryder to pick me up as I am in no condition to walk all the way to the cabin.
