ODIN

Jaden and Cameron stood at the center of her room, beside her bed as Cameron argued and Jaden pleaded.

When Jaden was younger, she'd experienced unwanted advances from a person she trusted and considered close, which lead up to her sexual assault. This permanently scared her and her perception of sex. This was them having a disagreement about Jaden's behaviour.

Jaden would get uncomfortable every time they even got near having intercourse, which began to annoy Cameron.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not ready," Cameron shook his head and shrugged "No, no, you're fine. You do this every time anyway."

Jaden walked up to him, trying to assure him "Cam. I'm sorry, I just can't-" Cameron shook his head in frustration, storming towards her door "I said it's fine!"

Before Jaden could comprehend his rash reaction, he had stormed out. Jaden swung the door open after it slammed.

"Come on! Don't be like that!" Cameron ignored her and left, leaving her standing to marinate in her thoughts.

She stood in shock, unable to believe he'd just gotten upset at her unwillingness to have sex with him. She was angry, to say the least. It was her choice to say yes or no. This was absolutely ridiculous.

Jaden unleashed her emotions on the punching bag, attacking it with a series of right hooks, jabs, roundhouse kicks, and combos.

She'd increase in aggression and anger every time the earlier events of the day replayed in her head. The room was now filled with grunts and noises of her fist making impact on the large, black bag that hung from chains on the ceiling of her bedroom.

Jaden's phone kept buzzing, which she could hear but refused to allow become a distraction.

She paused for water and rubbed the sweat off her forehead and redid her ponytail, picking up her phone in curiosity.

Jaden's curiosity turned into concern as the horrifying contents of the screen met her eyes.

Jaden dropped her phone in disbelief.
