Second thoughts

Jabi

"You did it all on your own?'' Rex asks me with shock written on his face.

I shrug my shoulders in response because it is not a big deal but there is this look on his face that tells me he is impressed.

"You know, that night that we were attacked by the vampires, I saw it in you. I knew you could fight your own battles." He smiles at me and I watch him as he rests his back on the couch.

He is here to make sure nothing happens to me but I don't think there is any need for that.

"Thanks, I guess."

I look away from him and to the door, he has been gone for a couple of hours and I have been the worst host. I don't actually want to talk about everything that happened with Lenny and the island. I want it to be a thing of the past but somehow, rex's mission is to keep talking about it and reminding me of all the violating things he did to me.
