Silence in a Towel

I was crushed against his chest and my tears soaked his shirt. I couldn't help it, I knew that if he stepped away or released his embrace I would collapse. It was the first time I had felt truly safe for a while.

And then I remembered what had just happened, the tears came even harder and I pulled away from Jay. I could hardly see him through my blurry eyes, but he uses his thumbs to wipe teardrop after teardrop from my cheeks.

"Em, please, they're just twats, you can't listen to them" he pleaded with me concern swimming in his amazing blue eyes. I shook my head,

"I can't, I need to go home but.."

"What?" Jays voice cracked, "you want to go home? but"

I bit my lip staring down at our hand that had somehow intertwined, "I have no home to go to Jay, There is no going home." I swallowed hard feeling another lump in my throat.

I heard Jay growl in his throat and looked up to see his angry face, His eyes softened as he looked at me but I reached up and touched his cheek,

"You have to promise you won't be angry at them" I told him, he stared at me with surprise and confusion etched on his face.

"Why? After what they said? How can you say that?" He asked

"They didn't know, you have to let it go ok? I'm not saying I'm going to forgive but they didn't hurt you, so I'm going to stay here until we land and you are going back to your seat"

Jay narrowed his eyes at me, "they didn't hurt me? Is that what you think?" I stared unblinkingly into his disbelieving eyes framed with long eyelashes.

He shook his head and stepped away, reaching for the door handle, Before he left he turned to me "Every tear that you just cried hurt me," With those words he was gone.

I bit my lip staring at the now closed door, I already missed Jays warm arms around me and his voice in my ears.

---------------------------------------------

The Car ride from the Airport to the hotel was an awkward one, We sat in a minivan that appeared to be travelling through the streets at half the speed of a snail. Traffic zoomed by on both sides with the occasional beeping from behind.

I sat next to Jay he had his arm around me but loose and he barely looked at me. I could tell he was still angry about before and he was still angry at Tom and Max.

They gave me intermittent glances, apologetic yet curious. I sure they each had a burning question in their brains for me.

I jumped out of the car as quickly as I could when it came to a halt outside our hotel. Jay followed close behind me but the presence of his hand on the small of my back that I had become so accustomed to was missing.

Inwardly I groaned in frustration but I ignored the feelings that were swirling around my mind.

-------------------------------------------

The water trickled down the drain as quickly as it had had appeared. I watched as the last of the soap suds followed suit.

My bruised legs stood in stark contrast to the bright white towel. As I exited the bathroom a voice spoke

"You took a while.."

I whipped round suddenly very aware of the fact that I was in only a towel.

"What the hell are you doing? Ever heard of privacy?"

Jay snorted and then smirked at me but the usual humour that habited his eyes when he laughed wasn't there anymore it barely even reached his face.

"Think you were getting your own room princess?" He asked still laughing at me. I felt my face and neck get red and I avoided his gaze.

"No.. " I mumbled shifting my weight from foot to foot awkwardly.

He stood and walked across the room brushing against the silky fabric of the bedding. His footsteps where softened by the plush carpet and I felt his body heat radiating from him the closer he got.

He stood a step away from me close enough to touch but he didn't, he kept his distance. This action was more than enough to remind me how much a longed for just a small touch anything from him.

I looked up meeting Jays eyes, I was captured spell bound by his cold stare, as we continued to hold each others gazes I thought I saw a flash of pain and hurt across his eyes but it was soon replaced with a determined steeliness.

"Nath and Siva are taking you shopping, get dressed"

Jay finally broke the silence, I opened to my mouth to reply but he had already turned on his heel and left the room.

The door shut with a sharp bang leaving me all alone in a big hotel room. In a towel. Basking in the unwanted silence.

Hey guys!

For a dedication guess what song this is:

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why

Everything yoStaring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low

Hopefully I'll be updating my other stories as well this week or so but it's summer soon then they will be more consistent :)
