The Monster in my Bed

• HeartBreak •

It was a calm day today...
Other than Kelly screaming and bawling her eyes out on my sofa after abruptly pulling up into the driveway of Dark and I's apartment...
...other than that, it was a calm day.

"How dare he!?" she screamed as she dabbed her eyes with tissue that I offered her, drying the damp tears on her cheeks.
"How fucking dare he, after everything I have done for him!!?" she cried as she held onto my hand tightly. I tried my best to console her.

"I gave my life to this man and I was ready to spend my whole life with him!! We were getting married soon!!" she sobbed, dabbing her eyes again.

"Well... I'm glad that you figured out before you actually committed to him." I spoke and she gently nodded her head as she sniffled.
"That's what is so odd about the whole thing-" she began to explain and I felt a lump forming in my throat out of anxiety.

"The messages were sent to me from his phone during the time he lost and couldn't find his phone!!" she explained as if it was the most mysterious thing.
"...But then when I suddenly found his phone again after looking all over... I discovered that the messages were actually real and he was indeed cheating on me." she stated, her voice lowering with sadness.          

"Yeah, that's- " I stuttered over my words trying to console her without revealing anything.
"-that's crazy..." I stated and she just nodded and blew her nose into her tissue.

"I just can't help but wonder who had his phone and how did they know to send it to me!" she explained with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know whether to smack them or hug them." she chuckled with a melancholy undertone. I gulped when she said that, feeling very guilty for being half responsible for this.

"Well- I'm sorry about this-" I started until she interrupted.
"-Sorry? Why? You didn't have anything to with this, right?" she asked and my eyes widened as I began stuttering over my words again.

Fuck- Fuck- Fuck! I'm horrible at consoling people!!

"No. She didn't." Dark's smooth voice interrupted from behind me.
Kelly and I both looked back to see him walking towards us.
"But we are both very shocked about what happened and hope that you will find peace about this." he stated very plainly and straightforward.

Why is he so good at this shit?

"Oh- Thank you then. I appreciate you both letting me sit here and vent." she moped as she dabbed at her eyes again with her tissue.
"No problem." I said.
"Sure thing. You are always welcomed here, Kelly." Dark reassured her and she gave him a soft grin.

"Anything we can do to help?" I asked and she perked up, looking me in the eye with promise.
"Actually- There is something..." she spoke and I gulped once again feeling like I fucked up.

Dark and I was now stuck moving Kelly's belongings into our guest room.

Dark gave me a blank glare as I glanced his way and I rolled my eyes at how much he was judging me. Kelly was pulling her small folding table inside the door and I gave her a small smile as she drug it inside, smiling and waving in return.

Dark was beside me now, sighing.
"What!?" I seethed at him after making sure Kelly was out of earshot.
"I didn't know she was gonna request to move in with us and out of Tony's place!?"

"Yeah. But have you ever heard of saying 'No'?" he growled as he squinted his eyes at me.
"Uh- YeaH! But I felt horrible considering you forced me to do that shit, that caused all of this, and now she has no where to stay!!" I bickered back with him and he just sighed whilst shrugging his shoulders.

"Now please help us instead of judging me." I sneered and he chuckled with a smirk before dragging himself outside to help bring in Kelly's belongings.

Soon, we were finally done with moving her things in. It took all day long and now it was night and Dark and I were relaxing on the sofa. Our bodies exhausted from the hauling of furniture, amongst other things, from Kelly's moving truck to her new room.

"Can't believe this is happening." I sighed as I plopped back onto the sofa.
"Oh really? You should have just let me do all the talking." Dark murmured as he crossed his arms with a huff.
"I can talk for myself!" I snapped at him.
"Yeah. And fuck shit up." he bit back in return and I had to admit, it kind of hurt my feelings considering it was kind of true.

I just clamped my mouth shut as I turned away from him, feeling a bit sour.
"Oh. So now you are giving me the cold shoulder because you don't want to admit I'm right." he sneered and I just let out a huff.
"I liked it better when you didn't know every fucking thing about me and just kept to yourself, dick." I grunted and he gave me a side eye.

"Okay. So I can see that you were hurt by what I just said. Sorry-" he scoffed as he smirked at me.
"Oh- Shush! You don't even mean that!" I blurted at him and he raised a brow.
"Really?" he said and I just averted my eyes to the ground.

I didn't mean to say that, but I just feel so pressured by him lately. It feels like I am always living under his surveillance.

As if he is watching me and making sure I do everything he deems to be correct.

"Well- I'm sorry if you feel that way, sweetheart. I don't want you to feel like I am not giving you space." he spoke and I felt more anger boil inside of me.
"Right. You don't want me to feel that way- Yet you continue to read my mind when I told you to STOP!" I spat out and that's when I started to see that familiar coldness behind his eyes, as if an exterior mask just fell off. I could spot something deeper that made me feel sick, that sick feeling I had when we first met.

I felt a growing fear as he began to do something, I just couldn't tell.

"Hello.. Kelly. Did you need something?" his voice spoke with a gentleness and that's when I noticed his eyes were now focused behind me. The coldness had went away, and the warmness was back, just like that.

Before I could say anything, he was getting up from the sofa and walking pass me to see what Kelly needed. I spun around to find Kelly standing at the entrance of the parlor and gave her a soft smile.

"Couple's quarrel?" she asked with a soft smile and I just shrugged my shoulders, looking to the floor.

"Just a little bicker. Nothing of your concern. Was something wrong?" Dark replied as he moved closer to her.
"O-Oh- I just wanted to see if you could hook up my TV for me?" she asked and he nodded before she spun around and lead the way.

I sighed as I sat back down, sinking into my sofa once again.

I love him, but he makes me feel so on edge sometimes. It's bittersweet.
