"Are you sure this is necessary Lena? It's just dinner." I groaned as my sister dabbed more highlighter to my face.

She snorted and lightly hit my head. "Are you stupid? Of course, this is necessary! My little sister is going on a date."

I rolled my eyes and directed my attention to my neck which was covered by makeup, frowning I looked up at Lena. "Are you sure it's not going to come off...I don't want a repeat of—nevermind."

"Yes okay, Bambi. But I love how protective Lorenzo was, is it a date with him per se?" Lena dabbed more at the faint purplish red spots. "No, it's actually with his brother."

"Bambi!" Lena grumbled hitting my forearm playfully. "Isn't that the one that-"

Smiling I shook my head. "No there adopted brother, His name is Saude." I got up playing with the ends of my long hair as I thought back to my talk with the blonde devil. "He's really nice, and playfully and-"

"Not like Nix right?" Lena cut in with a stern but worried look.

"No. He's not like Nix, nothing like him."

"Good, I don't want my little sister with more marks and bruises. Ya voy a matar al bastardo."
{Translation: I'm already going to kill that bastard}

"Lena," I whined as I pranced to my little closet. "Please don't worry about it. Nix is gone. And he won't be around again okay."

"Sure, But you said that last time and somehow he ended up in our apartment, sleeping in your room with you cuddled in bed with him." She paused pondering at the thought while I grabbed my dress for the night and made my way to my bathroom. "And you showered with him!"

I shut the down and groaned. "It was a mistake, Lena. I told him to leave afterward."

"Yea!" She yelled back from behind the door. "But he didn't! Instead, he grabbed you by the throat and destroyed your room."

I closed my eyes as the horrid memories that made tears fill my flashed through my head. "H-He didn't mean to okay. I-It was a mistake."

"THIS IS THE TENTH TIME ADALINE ROSE! DON'T YOU DARE MAKE UP FOR THAT BOY!?" Lena yelled back and hit her fists against the door. "He's hurting you, Adaline. Don't you see he's hurting you Bambi, Let me help, please..." She begged softly.

My eyes watered with salty tears which fell heavy down my reddened, swollen cheeks. I hated how he made me feel. I hated every good memory we had because somehow I also used those times to override the bad ones. "H-He has a temper...anger issues Lena. H-He doesn't mean it."

"Damnit..." She whispered. I heard dragging down the door and before I knew it there was weeping behind it. "I-I hate him. L-Look what he did to you, Addy. H-He's paining you. P-Please open your eyes before he hurts you even more than he already has."

I wiped the tears away and quickly slipped out my sweats swapping them out for the black velvet dress and matching black lace-up heels.
