Chapter Fifty Five.

Alex's POV -

"Here, take this." Caleb says, handing me a weight in my right hand. I take it from him slowly, blinking as I try to make sense of my surroundings.

"What day is it?" I mutter, holding the weight with a limp wrist. It dangles from my arm and I don't have the slightest motivation to lift it or even place it back onto the floor.

"Friday." Caleb mutters, turning around and walking towards the rack of dumbbells lined up against the gym mirror. He takes hold of it, curls it up to test it out before clearing his throat and heading back in my direction.

"On Friday, we work out. We always have done." He says firmly, standing directly in front of me. With his free hand, he reaches up and takes hold of my chin before forcing me to look up at him. His eyes flicker between both of mine and he sighs before dropping my chin. I don't expect him to start slapping me on both cheeks but that's exactly what he does.
