Chapter 26: Cecil and Wendy Are Friends

When I woke up the following morning, I was in my bed and still not dressed.

Thankfully, I did have a loose tank top on at least.

Oddly, Wendy was laying down asleep on the sheets next to me.

I blinked my eyes at her, and soon, all the memories of last night came flooding back to me. I would have screamed if I didn’t think it would wake her. I closed my eyes again but couldn’t sleep.

How could I sleep? Mordecai and I did it again. We became intimate at the heat of another fight between us. It was bad enough I was always a crying mess in front of him, but this was the second time we got hot and heavy during an argument.

I’m not a complete idiot. I know how this sh*t works. My parents would do this all the time when they argued. They always mated to stop the argument, but that never fixed their relationship. My mother still cheated. My father still gambled. My mother still had lots of kids. My father still hit us.
