TRUST

TRUST (Part 1)

"Shut your mouth!!" Adam, my abusive boyfriend screamed at me. "You are useless!" I was balling my eyes out cleaning a plate I had dropped while doing the dishes.

"It was an ACCIDENT Adam!" I yelled half crying at him. Recently Adam has seemed to get more and more aggressive with me. It wasn't always like that, when we met we loved each other so much. We met in college and we both fell in love almost immediately. Now, I don't even recognize the man I fell in love with.

"I don't care, Haylee! You are worthless and you are lucky to have me, so you better get your act together if you know what's good for you!" He said back and stormed out of the room. I sat on the floor crying when my phone rang. It was my friend, Logan. I tried to compose myself before I answered.

"H-hello?" I said, my voice shaking.

"Hey, are you okay? You sound a bit...nervous?" Logan asked.

"Adam just *sigh* never mind.." I said, he would probably hit me if I told people what he was really like. That's what happened the last time I tried to reach out for help.

"Okay...hey, do you wanna go out to Starbucks? To make you feel better?" He said.

"I would love that, come pick me up in about 15 minutes so I have time to get ready," I replied.

"It's a date!" He said. I knew he liked me, and I may have liked him too, But we have never made it official. What with Adam and all.

"Bye," I said, then hung up.

Logan- Can't wait to see u ;)

Me- LOL, can't wait to see u too

I decided to get ready in a cute outfit. I decided to wear a pink crop-top, short shorts, sunglasses, and my favorite Adidas Logan got me for my birthday last year. I put my hair up in a cute bun with my bangs down. I looked at myself in the mirror and decided to bring a jacket, even though it's summer, to cover my bruises from Adam. I took one last look in the mirror and knew I was ready to go.

*Ding-Dong*

I went to the door and opened it.

"Hey!" I greeted Logan.

"Hey," He said, looking at me intently, "You look AMAZING today! It's a bit hot for a jacket though, isn't it?" He asked.

"I'll be fine," I said and walked out to his truck. I hopped in the passenger seat and waited for the AC to kick in.

"Are you SURE you're okay?" He asked, referencing the phone call we previously had.

"I'm fine really," I said, but I wasn't even buying my own BS.

"Okay, well if you wanna talk, I'm here for you," He said, holding my hand.

"Let's go, It's already 10:00," I said, trying to change the subject. As we drove there was an awkward silence, besides the 80's rock on the radio. Logan, being the dork that he is, started to sing along. We broke out into giggles because his singing was so bad.

"Hey come on, sing along!" He said, nudging my shoulder.

"No, you know I can't sing in front of people," I say shyly.

"Aw c'mon, I've heard you sing before. You're amazing!" He said.

"Alright, fine," I said and started to sing quietly. As time went on, I couldn't

take Logan's horrid singing voice so I sang as loud as I could to drown him out.

"There you go!" He said as I sang my heart out. My singing was shortly interrupted by my phone ringing. It was Adam.
