(Trigger warning Toxic relationship Zaya POV) "I was late, I was late, Shit!" I thought to myself as I sat at my desk. "Come on Zaya if they were going to fire you you wouldn't be sitting at this big desk right now" I take a deep breath trying to calm myself down my thoughts scrambling around fighting each other "are they in there talking about how they regret hiring me" "no I would already be gone if that was the case" "it was one mistake it's just your first day" "yeah your first day and you already made a mistake" my thoughts echo through my head. God I wish it would just stop. I close my eyes taking my deep breaths trying to clear my mind. "You're okay Zaya. It's okay. Just calm down and everything will be okay "

I finally calm down, I open my eyes feeling pain in my palms I look down at my hands seeing a little drop of blood. As I was having my little panic attack I had dug my nails into my palms without noticing. I slowly unclenched my fists pulling my nails out of my skin. I use a tissue from the box on the desk to wipe the little bit of blood before throwing it away in the small trash can nearby.

Kai told me he would be back in a few minutes he wanted to let me get settled at  my new workspace first before we went over exactly what they needed me to do. He didn't expect me to understand everything so quickly especially on my first day. Kai said that he would be leaving tomorrow for a while he had a project at home so Dean will help me with any questions I had after today.

I look around the desk there isn't a lot. A computer, a box of tissues, a planner, and a couple folders with paper inside. I smile a little to myself thinking about what I would put on the desk if I could decorate it. I'd probably put some little stuffies and cute figurines. I'd put stickers all over. I giggle lost in my own thoughts without noticing when Kai enters the room once again.

"What's so funny little one" I jump at the sound of his voice knocking me out of my childish thoughts. I face Kai trying my best to look him in the eye. I have such a hard time with that. "N nothing sir I am sorry I was just daydreaming it won't happen again " I can't do it I can't look in his eyes. I drop my head looking down at my hands picking at my fingernails.

I feel my head being lifted up as Kai cups his hand under my chin. He smiles down at me softly as he makes me look up at him. "Are you ready to learn what to do little one?" I nod slowly wanting to move my head back down but his hand keeps it in place. He pats my head gently before letting go of my chin. "Let's begin then"

4 o'clock rolls around and it's time to leave. I didn't see much of Dean today Kai said he was buried in work. The job seems simple enough though I need to write down all the upcoming meetings into the planner. Print out any documents Dean or Kai need and bring it into their office. Just really any tasks they need help with, Just very simple things. I think I'll like working here plus it gets me away from Chase for a few hours.

Kai offered to drive me home but I insisted on walking. I feel like if I arrive home with another man Chase would lose his head. Kai seemed hesitant to let me go telling me about how cold it was outside but I assured him I would be okay and would be back tomorrow on time. So I began making my way back home.

I finally arrive home shivering and out of breath. I try to compose myself before walking inside. "Welcome home honey how was work?" I hear called out from the living room. "Honey???" I think to myself "I don't remember the last time he called me that did I hear that right" I step into the living room confused. "Oh baby you look like you are freezing. You forgot your coat you should have called me to bring it to you or to give you a ride home" I feel strong arms pull me into an embrace I look up seeing chase.

I'm so confused why is he treating me nicely? I haven't felt him hold me in so long. Tears begin to form in the corner of my eyes I lay my head against his chest purring quietly. I missed this I missed him. "Can you excuse me please gentlemen I will be right back?" I snap out of my thoughts quickly stepping back from Chase I finally notice the two men in our living room and it all starts making sense.

Chase leads me out of the living room into our room. I had hope for one second why was I stupid to believe that was the old Chase. I should have known he had company the only time he is nicer is when someone is over. This must be someone very important with the show he just put on.

Chase shuts the door behind us glaring down at me. I quickly glance down at my feet. "Listen to me and listen to me good kitten" I feel a tight grip on my chin forcing me to look up at him. "In there is my boss if I make a good impression I will get promoted. Be a good girl and get dressed in your nice clothes and then fix dinner. If you are good and you don't make a scene you can sleep in here with me tonight. I hear it's going to be super cold outside and you don't want that do you?"

I whimper shaking my head "n no sir I I will be good" he smiles down at me "Good kitten" he kisses my forehead before letting my chin go. He leaves the room leaving me alone with my thoughts. For a moment It felt like how things were when we first met. I really miss who Chase once was. But I need to remember it was all just an act that Chase is never coming back.
