Allac State House
Russia
Alaina's POV
I woke up with a severe headache, I didn't knew much but I was sure that I was suffering from a major hangover. I held my head in my hands trying to focus a little.
"These might help" a painkiller was pushed into my hand with a glass of water. I looked at the figure, calmness washing over me.
I relished the whole glass in one go. closing my eyes shut for few minutes, trying to relax my breathing but when the events of last night crashed my mind and I opened my eyes abruptly.
A black velvety comforter was draped over my body which I found to be fully clothed underneath with the previous night's dress.
"I guess you need some help there." Now that I was done checking myself, I squinted my eyes towards the other person in room- Ryan, I took a look of the room.....grey walls but my room wasn't grey.
"Oh my goddess! where am I?, What happened?My parents, god, I never informed them."I tried to get up but my body thought better of it.
"Relax, just relax for a second. Do you remember last night?" he moved over to sit beside me maintaining a respectful distance, like he was treating an injured pup"
" I remembered someone-" my gaze downcast with embarrassment and jaw clenched with self loathing. "I didn't like the person touching me at club, I tried to resent it- I-I am sorry for causing so much trouble." A sigh left my lips.
"Look I don't know what's bothering you but running from your problems will not provide you with solution." His eyes held a shade of protectiveness and care for me.
"It's personal" I wasn't going to narrate my entire sob story to him, I guess I needed time.
He patted my head.
"Tell us when you are up for it, we informed your parents ,stating that you were not well and slept a night at your friend's. I guess you are going to be in trouble for a few days." he grinned at me trying to lighten my mood. To which I returned a feeble smile back.
"How did you find me?"
"Cally told us, by the way, she is coming here in an hour. You should eat by the time, let me get you something" I held his wrist for a second ,releasing it the other.
"Ryan, did you saved me? Were you the person who held me last night?" he nodded his head and before he could comprehend I hugged the life out of him.
"Thank you, it meant a lot to me." his arms came to held me for a second before letting go.
"I need to go." he turned and left the room.
She wasn't helping, Ryan was in a big mess. What he didn't knew was that she was in a bigger one.
