two doors down

monica mi amor

i barely have the energy to shower just standing under the warm water my head against the shower wall as water runs down my back. after about ten minutes i cant do it anymore. turning the shower off and curling into a ball my head in my hands. 

i was so emotionally and physically drained. i stepped out of the shower lazily putting on a pair of track suit pants and a singlet top before realizing i was still shivering. i walked out of the bathroom my arms wrapped around myself 

and as soon as monica saw me her eyes looked me up and down with a sad gaze before she got up looking at the bruises on my body. "honey..." she trailed off. 

"please not now" i sighed softly with desperation in my voice, resting my head on her shoulder as she was that close. she wraps her arms around my shoulders allowing me to wrap my arms around her waist in a warm comforting hug. 

after a minute she lets go grabbing a jumper of her desk and putting it over my head telling me to put it on . i followed her instruction before going to her bed getting in under the covers to warm up some more. she gets in behind me grabbing a brush of her bedside table i allow her to detangle my hair as i really didnt have the motivation or energy to do so myself. 

monica brushed and braided it always apologizing when she thought she hurt me. and when she was done we laid down next to eachother the laptop in the middle of us.

monica started playing the parent trap as y/n was falling more asleep every second. a whole bunch of thoughts were going through her head but she ignored them for the most part. around half an hour into the movie y/n officially fell asleep. her head on monicas shoulder curled up on her side. 

the other girl gently rubbed y/ns back enough to soothe her but not enough to wake her. you could tell she really needed this nap. 

an hour later monicas mum gets home instantly coming up to the bedrooms to see if the girls were home. the woman first knocked on the door before coming in. 

"oh good your home, how was school you two" she asks clearly not seeing y/n asleep.

"school was okay mum. but y/ns sleeping right now" the girl informed

"gotta love a nanna nap." her mum laughed "ill be leaving" she said with a smile. monica nodded before turning her attention back to y/n. 

---------------------------------

2 hours later and y/n was still asleep. she had moved around quite a bit however still remained curled in on herself. slowly y/n rolled over again this time grabbing monicas hand just interlocking their fingers. and a couple minutes later she started to wake moving their hands to rub her eye, stretching out her limbs before looking at her friend. 

"well good evening sleeping beauty" the girl teased before adding "have a good nap?" 

y/n nodded before adding "im sorry for sleeping through the movie" y/n said while making the move to sit up. 

"bub we've seen that movie millions of times and we both know i was just trying to get you to sleep again. you really needed it" monica explained. y/n hummed grabbing her phone checking a couple of messages.

after throwing my phone to the foot of the bed i ask monica if i can go get some water. she again explains that i can help myself to anything in the house. before we both walk to the kitchen. 

"hi sweetie how are you" monicas mum greets me in a hug stepping away from where she was preparing some dinner. 

"im okay" i paused "hows the new job" i finished in a soft voice she then went on talking about her new coworkers and stuff like that until monica butted in saying her mum was hogging me and wanted to go back to her room.

we said goodbye after finding out dinner was going to be another 40 minutes and went back to monicas room. 

"talk to me honey, whats going on" she prompts a conversation i really didnt feel like going in to.

"im okay monica, i have everything under control" i whispered the last part. 

"y/n i know you and i can tell somethings happening. has something changed since your step mum came into the picture" god she knows everything. i sighed before starting to tell her whats happening. 

"dads drinking more than usual and thats saying something. he was just drunk the other night when he did all this. nothings wrong with my step mum and dad loves mattie so the kids safe" i briefed. "my head just wont shut up"

"love, if you start getting those thoughts again you tell me. and as for your dad please stay safe i know you dont want to report him but if it gets worse your gonna have to" she spoke running her thumb over my knuckles. 

later on we were called down for dinner when i saw someone unexpected at the front door.
