T/W: Attempted suicide
----------
"H-hah!"
Sucking in a sharp breath, Leslie jolted awake. Her chest moved up and down quickly and successively. Her widened eyes expressed horror, terrified by what she had just seen—or rather, experienced—in her sleep.
"W-what... was that?"
Leslie randomly grasped the blanket, feeling how her back soaking in sweat. Shaking her head in disbelief, she perceived the intense shivering of her hands, originating from the fear and surprise in her heart.
"What time is it now..."
Leslie threw her gaze to the bedside table, looking at the small clock standing next to the rose bouquet table lamp. The faint white and pink lights cast a glow in the nearby area, allowing her to clearly see the clock.
03:10 AM.
"Haa... it's still... early..."
At first, I wanted to write a full chapter of what Charlene tried doing but, I dropped the idea. Maybe doing so will provide more nuance for the story yet, I'll just settle by just describing a little in the paragraphs.
My new book is up now! Please show your support :) Thank you!
