L'ho Lasciata~ 'I Left Her'

'20-You're so brave and I am proud of you'

Fact-

A great deal of swapping goes on in a kiss: 60 milligrams of water, 0.5 milligrams of protein, 0.15 milligrams of gland secretion, 0.4 milligrams of salt, and up to 22,000 bacteria.

I'm I the only one feeling nauseous after knowing this fact 🤢🤢

Today went off badly for me. More specifically I had a terrible morning. There was something terrifying about it. The panic was overwhelming. It was the first time anyone had walked into me like that. On top of that, he saw everything. For many years, everything was hidden under the covers. Jasmine, Hottie, and Dad are the only ones who know. My scars remind me that what happened actually happened, that my nightmares aren't just in my head. I let out a sigh. My eyes welled up with tears after he left. I then got dressed and walked out. He was nowhere to be found. At least I expected a decent apology. Nevertheless, I tried to fix my mood by reading anime. I have been reading it since noon.

After finishing it off. I scroll down to the last chapter when I heard the doorknob open. Unfortunately, I don't live alone in this room. I checked the time before closing the phone and it was 11:37 pm.

I sat quietly looking down at my lap. I watched him going into the closet and that was my chance. I pulled the blanket up sinking my body inside, pretending to sleep, so I can avoid any conversation.

I still don't understand what makes him so mad. Probably me dancing in a towel is a bad idea from the start. If he reaches me to talk then I'll apologize. It's better to be sorry than to create more trouble for me. He walked into the room and I can feel him moving around, although my eyes are closed and the duvet pulled over my head.

" Hey! Can we talk?" A small soft whisper came out of his mouth. He pulled out the duvet cover to see my face and I got up on my elbow. After reading his face which is completely different from what I saw this morning, I nodded my head once.

I pulled myself up resting my back on the headboard and crossing my legs in, to create space for him which he unhurriedly seized setting his ass comfortable on the bed. ' Asshole' Can't help but curse him.

We sat in silence, for a minute or two when he finally decided to talk. " Did I scare you? " He mumbled. Duh! Is that even a question? You scared the shit out of me. " a little" I whispered monotonously. Yeah, hypocrite, I know!!!

He hummed in response. " You cried a lot, didn't you?" He asked looking straight into my eyes.

But wait how did he kno- Oh no!! My eyes... I quickly covered my eyes with my right palm. Cause they must be red and swollen after all the crying I did and then staring at the screen for hours.

He slowly holds my wrist pulling it down and placing it on his lap. What's going on? He started folding the sleeves of his sweater. Yeah, his sweater is too big for me. After folding the jogger on my waist to fit me, I was so annoyed that I gave up on the sleeves and let them dangle around.

After folding the right sleeve, he moved to the left one. " I'm sorry," he said finally breaking the depthless silence between us. " I know I scared you and let you deal with my anger but it wasn't for you. Trust me. I was not angry at you. I- I just..." He hesitated.

" you just? " I asked encouraging him to speak.

A sigh of defect escaped his mouth " I just can't stand child abuse. I just hate it " he said the last part gritting his teeth. " I may be a cold, arrogant, jerk " Good, you know that. " like you always say " wait, what!!
