Mistakes (Ed Sheeran fanfic)

Chapter two

KATY'S POV:

I woke up around 7, Ryan not in the bed, no where to be found. I got ready, ate a quick breakfast, and went back to my room. I tried to call Ryan but he wouldn't answer so I left 2 messages.

I was wearing a white collared shirt tucked into a gray short pin skirt. Ryan didn't like this skirt. It shows my curves. I like it.

It makes me feel pretty.

I walked up to the mirror and looked at myself. I slowly wiped my hands down the skirt, removing the creases. I looked at my face.

You couldn't see the bruises.
Good.

  My hair was pulled up and I was wearing white heels. I didn't feel like wearing heels but I did anyways. I had a huge headache and stomachache, but I just took a few pills and left for work.

" Kate please bring the copys now!!" Yelled my boss.

"Yes sir. A-a-and my name is Katy, sir." I ran over to Mr. Brent's desk holding the files he had asked me earlier to copy and refile. I was Mr. Brent's new assistant at DiamondsRecording Company.

I was late.

I woke up at 7 this morning to get to work but my stomach hurt and I had to cover my face with makeup because I looked so red. It usually took me about an hour to just cover any bruises before coming to work.

I set the papers down on Mr. Brents desk before grabbing his coffee cup to refill.

"Kate wait." Mr. Brent said as I was walking out the door. I walked back and stood in front of how desk.

"Please take a seat Kate."

"Excuse me sir but my name is Katy." I said shyly and looked down.

"Oh, well Katy you've been here for a couple of months and you're are one of my best assistants I've ever had. But we need to talk about your tardiness and about a little incident that one of our coworkers saw." Mr. Brent said as he took the copies and set them on the corner of his desk.

Mr. Brent was a very handsome young man. He was 24 and he had inherited his fathers business. Mr. Brents name was James Brent. He had jet black hair and was thin but muscular. He was a very attractive man, yet I had never see any type of lady-friend visit him before. He was nice most of the time but he usually couldn't say my name right and when he got mad he'd yell a lot.

"Sir I Am truly sorry for my tardiness. I know I've been very late lately and I will try to get here on time from now on." I looked at him in his deep blue eyes.

"Honestly it's ok. You get your work done and you can somehow stand me when I get crabby. I'd just like to know if there is anything you want to tell me involving your tardiness and if there is anything wrong at home?" I just stared at him with a surprised look on my face.

"No sir there isn't anything for me to say." I couldn't help but look away and squeeze my arms so I wouldn't cry or anything.

"Listen Ms. Carter or Katy, someone, not naming names, told me that they were in the restroom and saw you crying and saw you trying to put on makeup to cover what appeared to be bruises. This was about a week ago. Katy does that have anything to do with you being late? I am worried for you."

I still couldn't stop squeezing my arms but I looked up at him and a tear came down my chin.

"Mr. Brent there isn't anything I have to say about this. It's nice that you're worried about me, but there isn't anything I have to share with you." I stood up and grabbed his coffee cup.
"Since I don't have anything to say, I will get you some coffee and finish copying the rest of the papers."

"Wait Katy-" Mr. Brent got up and walked up to me. "I really like you Katy and you can tell me anything, you can trust me." He put his hand on my arm that I was squeezing and looked at me with worrying eyes.

I smiles and slowly walked away.
"Thank you Mr. Brent for caring. I'm ok I promise, now I need to finish my work and get your lunch."

"Hey, Katy I really need you to go out to lunch with me." He smiled a little and walked up to me. "I need to go over some paper and need someone to keep me company. We can get to know each other a little better, too."

I blushed.
"Ok I will get your plan book and get both of our jackets."

He smiled and walked over to the coat rack and grabbed my jacket and put his on. James walked over and held my jacket up so I could put it on.

"Thank you." I said while trying to hide my face so he couldn't see me blushing

"You're very welcome." James walked out of his office, me trailing behind and we walked to the front entrance.
