A Toxic Relationship

Kylie's pov

"Do you want anything to drink?" Cain asks while rummaging through his messy mini fridge.

"No, I don't want anything" I decline.

"Alright. At least I asked" he says after grabbing a bottle of half-drunken water. While taking a sip, he walks over to me. When he reaches me, he pulls it away from his mouth. "I didn't flirt with that girl. It may have looked that way but I haven't. She is just a friend" he tries to assure me.

"I'm not stupid Cain. I know exactly what I saw" I look down.

"I'm telling you, you saw wrong. Don't you trust me?"

"I thought you trusted me. But I guess I was wrong"

"I do trust you" I hesitantly say" but thank the gods that he didn't notice my hesitant tone.

He looks deep into my eyes while giving me an angry stare that starts to give me chills. "If you trusted me, you wouldn't have spied on me tonight"

"I didn't spy on you! I didn't even know they planned to go to the club you guys were in" I say.

"So you're telling me it was Melanie's idea?"

"Well yeah..." I say.

"Even if it was her idea, you can't just go without telling me about it! I told you I was going out. At least I was honest. And you lied to me!"

He just doesn't get it does he? I don't know how many times I have to tell him that I never planned to go out.
"I didn't lie! I wasn't planning on going anywhere until they asked me." I explain once more.

"It doesn't matter. You can't just go out without my permission. You have to ask me first and see if I'm even ok with it!" Then he takes steps towards me. "If you want this to work, then you gotta stop making me angry all the time"

I gently touch his tattooed arm and he grabs both sides of my face to have me look at him. "I should be able to trust you and so should you" he whispers. "From now on, you're going to tell me whenever you leave the house. Alright?"

"Alright," I agree.

"That's my girl" he grins.

Him saying that makes me feel weak in the knees. "Now don't give me that sad look on your face. I don't like seeing you sad." he caresses my cheek with his thumb before pulling me into a kiss.

To be honest, I didn't even feel like being at his place that night. I just wanted to be in my room and cry myself to sleep. I couldn't help but wonder if it was always going to be like this.

If did something that he doesn't like he would keep getting super angry and arguing with me, but if he did something I don't like then it is no big deal and I just had to shut up and accept it.

I knew deep down that our relationship was no longer healthy at this point, but since I was still head over heels for him, I stayed with him.

And I had some small hopes that he would change back to the sweet Cain I fell for.
