I walk back in the penthouse and Sebastian walks behind me. He goes around and greets some people while I look for Robert. I feel a rough tug to my arm. I look over to see Robert. He looks clearly angry. He pulls me in my room and slams my door.
" I need to talk to you Robert-
" No. I'm going to talk and you're going to listen. You can't disrespect me the way you just did, I'm your boyfriend and what I say goes Joanne." He corners me. I squeeze my way out and walk towards the door.
" If you're going to act this way I'm leaving", he pulls me back by my arm and pushes me on the bed.
" I buy you jewelry, I take you out to eat at expensive restaurants because you love going to overly expensive places. I put up with your shit but the moment I want this motherfucker gone you can't do that for me?" He stumbles over his words.
" Okay stop- why are you speaking to me this way?" I question him, pissed off. I attempt to get up from the bed but he pushes me back down. "Let's not forget how you rarely want to have sex with me. Is it because of him?" He raises his voice at me. " What the hell is wrong with you?" I yell at him. I feel a tight grip around my throat. That's when I realize, I'm in danger.
He pins me down pushing his whole body weight down on mine. " I told you, I talk, you listen", he whispers in my ear. I've never seen him this intense before, I panic. I know this situation. I try to get him off.
" And you look so fucking sexy in that dress baby, let me help you with that", he roughly tries to take it off but fails. I tighten my legs so he won't be able to do anything to me and try to remain calm. He tries to push my legs open together and starts pulling down his pants.
" Open your legs Joanne", I whimper in pain from his grip." Get the hell off me", I lash my head against his, his grip becomes tighter. I start to panic. He starts grabbing my body and I start feeling disgusting, he slides his hand up my dress. I yell out for Rosalie. She doesn't come.
He continues trying to open my legs together but I don't budge and I won't. I start crying realizing I'm stuck, I'm weak again. " Please get off me Robert you're hurting me", I cry out.
" Shhhh- baby you like when I do this, and I feel really good right now", he whispers, I yell out. " Stop please", I cry louder.
" Open your legs more Joanne, cmon", he aggressively yells out.
" Stop please", I try pushing him off me but it's no use.
I stop feeling his grip. My body becomes light, that's when I see Sebastian has him on the floor. Rosalie runs in and rushes over to hug me. " Oh my god what happened? Are you alright?" I process what happened, I stare at Sebastian in disbelief. Sebastian the one who's always there to help me. All I see is him dragging out Robert.
" I- he just tried to , you know", my voice faints away. I lean on Rosalie and lightly shut my eyes.
" Anne?" His voice, Sebastian. Who I was just going back and forth with. His voice, comforts me in many ways. The way you feel yourself falling asleep and know you're at peace, the way you lightly soothe into the water when you're taking a bath. " Sebastian, I don't know what to say." He looks at me with those worried eyes that once did almost 8 years ago. In the same situation he took me out of and the situation he helped me heal from.
" You're an angel", I dig my face in Rosalie's arms. I shut my eyes. " Anne- are you okay, did he do anything?" his tone soft and reassuring. " He almost did, he didn't go further Sebastian", my voice muffled. I hear his loud sigh. " I'll be back here tomorrow early- take care of her Rosalie, don't leave her side".
" I won't Sebastian, she needs me", Rosalie's voice sad.
" She does", his voice faints. I need you Sebastian.
I shut my eyes and lightly drift off to sleep, the feeling is overwhelming and tiring, if it wasn't for Sebastian I don't know what else might have happened.
- Sunday, The next morning -
This morning I didn't wake up to yelling or a happy cheer. I woke up tired, with a big ache all over my body. I turn over to look at my phone, 8:26am. I get a wave of sadness, and relive the moments from last night, I deeply sigh.
I attempt to pick myself up and tidy myself up, as I rush over back to my room I hear Rosalie in great discomfort, I rush to her room to find her throwing up in her restroom.
" Oh my god- are you okay Rosalie?" I kneel down to rub her back.
" I'm alright, I drank a lot last night", she tries to steadily pick up her words.
" I can get you a glass of water?" I offer.
" No- it's alright I'm fine, you go and make yourself some food", she reassures.
" Are you sure?" She throws up more. She gently nods teary eyed.
I make my way to the kitchen and make some light breakfast to assure Rosalie doesn't feel more sick. I fill myself and make my way over to the door once I hear a knock.
"Anne- how are you doing?" I open the door to find Sebastian holding a bouquet of roses. He looks radiating. His shirt tightens around his arm, and his scent is intoxicating. I restrain myself from doing anything.
" Ou wow are those for me?" My lips form a big smile, my eyes meet his.
" No they're for me", he sarcastically responds. I roll my eyes.
" Come on in", I take the roses from his hands.
" How are you?" His tone easy.
" I'm just sad, disappointed, there's so many things I'm feeling at once. I'm also planning to talk with him, today".
" Anne. Are you sure that's a good idea?"He advises. " I am- I know it's not safe but I was thinking you could come with me?" I suggest.
" Of course I can, anything to keep you safe Anne- though I don't believe it's a good idea", he hints.
" Yeah whatever- I'll make sure to let him know I'm on my way. You can wait outside while I'm talking with him, in case anything happens".
