My hands begin to slightly shake and I lay my phone back onto the living room table. "You should probably leave." I tell Lili.
"Why? Is something happening?"
"Well yea, Pedro is gonna be here in 10 minutes according to his messages and I look like a piece of shit. That's what's happening."
"Okay that's um, a-lot." Lili takes a deep breath before continuing, "But your looks aren't a big deal right now. I just want you to make sure you can handle yourself, Anna. Tell him the truth about Damian even if it's hard. And if he doesn't believe you he can go fuck himself. Ok?" she demands me.
"Okay, yeah. I'll text you afterwards and make sure to drive safe, as always" I say to Lili and hug her goodbye.
"I will. Love you"
Liliana packs her handbag and leaves out the front door as I begin to walk up the stairs, into my bedroom to pick out some clothes and brush my teeth.
I decide to wear some beige cargo pants with a dark red crop top, rather simple.
After-all I had just spent the entire morning crying so who cares if I looked like shit.

The clock on my living room wall shows 2:18. Pedro should be arriving any minute.A part of me was really hoping he just wouldn't come over because I didn't want him to see me this stressed, but I loved him. It's just sort of comforting knowing that he's on his way just for me and our relationship.
A few minutes and I hear a car drive into my parking lot as my heartbeat raises up, again.
Knock knock knock.
I take a deep, strong breath before opening the door for Pedro and try the best to ignore my overthinking whilst turning the doorknob.
The door opens and Pedro rushes straight into my house, pushing me beside without saying a word. He seems really fueled up. Like really, really fueled in a way i've never experienced him before until today.
He fast-walks up the stairs so I follow him, up the stairs.
"Could you maybe say hi or hello or literally anything before running around my house? We have to talk" I say while following him.
Pedro continues to walk up the stairs until he reaches my.. bedroom? I'm somewhat confused as to why he ran up into my bedroom but I guess that's just who he is.
"Nows not the time for saying 'hello', baby" he replies and sits down on my bed.
I sit down next to him and sigh, holding eye contact with him.
"Anna" Pedro says, breaking the silence. "Yea?" I reply with a very shaky voice, similar to when we first met.
"I've seen whats been happening on instagram and all those other platforms and i'm sure you have too. Am I right?"
I was really hoping we didn't have to mention this topic, but after all it's what caused all this drama. I nod.
He clears his throat "I just wanna know what's going on- Who even is this guy?". I can tell in his voice that he's frustrated, but trying his best to stay calm. That's fine.
"On the.. picture?" I ask.
"Yes Anna. On the picture." Pedro answers with a straight voice.
I sigh "My... He's my ex."
"What's his name?"
"Damian."
"Okay. And why exactly are you hanging out with Damian?" he replies. I can tell he's pissed.
"I'm not hanging out with him Pedro. Maybe listen to me before you assume things"
"Oh really? Cause to me it sure looked like the both of you were together, on the same picture"
I begin to worry because it's almost as if Pedro believes the rumours.
"Yea. 7 years ago." I state.
Pedro looks at me sorrily and puts his head into his hands, sighing.
Silence
He faces his head back towards me "Im sorry baby. I just got worried that you were- you know, cheating." he pauses before continuing "But this Damian guy is leaving you alone right? I don't want him causing problems."
"It's fine, really. I mean if I were you I'd probably have the same reaction, I think. But theres still a-lot I have to tell you about my ex . I'm not sure if he's leaving me alone and I've gone through tons of shit because of him- and still am" I reply as my eyes begin to water up. Why am I almost crying? It's not that deep.
"Continue." Pedro says worried.
"Promise me that you'll listen, please?"
"Okay, I promise."
I begin to tell Pedro everything. Like literally, everything. How Damian would abuse me, try to control me and ruin me when I was only 17. How I dealt with it and still am dealing with it and how things ended between him And I.
It wasn't easy telling all of that to Pedro but it felt good to get it of my chest and he was a hell of a good listener.
A/N: ummm i feel like this chapter is way too short but like whateverrr. pedros responce to all of this will be in the next chapter bc im way too lazy rn
