Chapter 17

"You're scaring me , please just stop." I cried, moving away from his grip.

"Then just listen to me for a second!" He stepped closer to me.

"Maks, I believed you for too long, I don't want to talk right now!"

"Janel, listen to me."

"I swear to go Maks!" I raised my voice. "You both played me like a fucking toy, you both knew what was going on and especially you -- I trusted you and you played some sick twisted joke.."

"I really do love you.. It was something that started even before either Val or I knew you!"

"just leave me the hell alone!" I yelled.

Maks slammed his hand on the door, besides my head. "Shh.."

I jumped and shut my eyes tightly.

"You can't run from me now.." He held onto my already bruised wrist.

"What do you want from me?" I said lowly, trying to squirm under his body.

The Next Morning, I stared at myself in the rear view mirror of my car. I can't do this anymore -- they're gonna drive me mentally insane.

I walked into the building, not making eye contact with anyone. If I did they would ask pointed questions.

Val watched me walk into the room, he had the most horrified look on his face. My heart skipped a couple beats as I set my bags down.

"Janel? What happened?" He walked towards me, touching the bruises on my neck.

"Nothing, I'm fine." I mumbled, walking towards my corner unzipping my jacket.

I looked into the mirror seeing the purple bruises on my stomach and then my wrist. Some one should just kill me already and take the pain away.

"That doesn't look like nothing!" Val walked up besides me. "Who did this to you?" He questioned, placing his hands on the area.

"He didn't mean it.." I said, trying to convince myself.

"Janel Parrish, who the hell did this to you?" Val shook his head.

"Maksim.." I mumbled, looking up at him.

"He touched you again? You know what lets cancel today's rehearsal.. You go home and relax." He said harshly, grabbing his bag then storming out.

I zipped up my jacket -- pulling the hood up then grabbed my bags, slowly making my way out the door.

"Janel? Don't you have rehearsal today?" Maria looked at the computer then up at me confused.

"Val had an emergency, so we'll be back tomorrow!" I answered, walking out the building and straight to my car.

I couldn't go straight home, I drove around town then stopped for some coffee before I finally pulled into my drive way.

Val's car was there, I grabbed my bags then walked up to my doorstep where he was sitting down all bruised up.

"What the hell happened to you?" I dropped my bag, touching his face.

"I'm going to protect you with my entire life, no matter the consequences because.. I love you Janel. I love you more than anything, I've never felt the same about someone in my entire life!" He pushed the hair in my face -- behind my ear. "I'm so sorry, we should've never did that and I was suppose to protect you and he practically broke you -- we both did, do you think you could ever forgive me?"

I picked up my bag, then helped him up. "Let's clean you up.." I whispered, leading him into the house.

He didn't say anything until we got into the bathroom. I wet a small towel then dabbed it on his patchy skin. He winced in pain a couple times until I was done.

"Why?" I questioned, placing the towel on the counter.

"It was during the summer, after he won the mirror ball. He said to start a showmance but I didn't know you were my partner so I agreed -- then the game changed."

"How did it change?" I stood in front of him.

"Janel-"

"No, through all the shit I've been through in this one month, I deserve an explanation!" I yelled then shook my head. "Sorry.."

"We made a bet, who could get with the other partner first."

"Who won?"

"I did.." Val muttered.

I nodded turning away, my body shaking. I couldn't decided if it was anger or sadness , probably both for all I know.

"Janel, I was the one who called it off! I told him we were actually amazing today and I couldn't break you."

"But you already did.. The crazy part is I really don't want to let you slip away from me."

Val stood up walking towards me slowly, his eyes full of sadness -- you could almost see the regrets.

"Give me one more chance, I'd never let anyone hurt you. I'll love you until you ask me to stop!" He took my hand.

I looked into his eyes, trying to see if I believe what he's telling me.

Do I still love him?

A/N: should she forgive him? Idk so I'll let you choose Val's punishment! + got my new iPhone yesterday! yay! 😍
