JASMINE
I woke up the next morning with my whole body aching with pain. Memories of last night flooded back Stephan's drunk confession, the desperate kisses, the way he had pinned me down and claimed me as his. I turned to the side of the bed, expecting to see him, but it was empty. He had already left.
I sighed heavily and sat up. The whole room had been cleaned, and I had been carefully tucked into bed. It was the weekend, so I wasn't going to class today.
I dragged myself to the bathroom, had a long, hot shower, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw several hickeys scattered across my neck and collarbone. I only sighed and brushed my teeth, trying to ignore the marks.
(System…) I called again.
The system's voice came back glitchy and distorted.
(System… having issue… Error… Cannot… process request…)
(Tell me to reload… when I cool off I should be back to repair.. something that occurred and I can no longer control myself. )
