Confrontation (2) [Christian POV]

I rubbed my exhausted eyes a few times. After yesterday's event, I came straight here, sitting in Leslie's office in hopes of calming my emotions down. I didn't sleep for a single minute; rather, I couldn't fall asleep. 

A gnawing in my stomach kept me up all night. All I could think about was Leslie. 

Why didn't she show up yesterday? Was she okay?

I wanted to call Liam, but I knew if he saw me in this state, he would make sure I got locked up in the hospital. 

The first rays of sunlight filled the one dark office, revealing hints of Leslie all around me. Her favorite pens and notebook were neatly organized on the table. A small throw blanket was folded on the couch. Even her faint scent still lingered in the air. 

My biggest fear was that she wouldn't show up today. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong.
