Golden Love

Pov: London can't fight friends

When I wake up on the floor I have no clothes on I'm wet everywhere and I know what happened My dad raped me aging. I hate that it wasn't his first time doing this to me I hate him every single time he did I felt more and more hate for him why I ask myself why does he do this to his firstborn daughter I try not to think too much of it he is a drunk and I'm a drug-addicted he doesn't care about me or anyone else I hate him and that won't change. I pick Myself off the ground and run to the bathroom I take a scorching hot shower I scrub and scrub and scrub until  I feel clean when I don't eat that night but I do smoke I smoke until I can't anymore.

When I wake up and I'm starving I make myself a bacon and egg sandwich and then I go into the bathroom to look at my eye and that's when I see a black eye I knew I would have one I mean my dad did punch me so, of course, I would have one I go and look for some makeup but I don't have any ''Fuck'' I say I have to go to work with a black eye just great I have a very nosy coworker named James and I just know he will want to know what happen. I take two deep breaths and try to focus on the bigger picture I'm always smiling I never look what I go through and I know that If I tell my coworkers I fell they will believe me while maybe James won't believe me, he always tries to talk to me and even though I don't have friends and I don't talk to people but for some reason, I talked to him and I got the feeling he knew my smile is fake that I go through more than anyone knows.

I go to work dreading it I work at a local paper company I am an assistant of the assistant so basically I do the job of a college student and I'm a high school dropout but thankfully  she was a lazy fuck or else I would be jobless, homeless and a drug addict so this job really means a great deal to me so when I walk in the front door I raise my head proudly I plaster the biggest smile on my face and walk into the elevator when I get out of the elevator I walk past the first two cubicles and no one seems to notice but I know its a matter of minutes before someone  does and I don't know why I feel that person who will notice is James so when I go past his cubicle I'm not surprised that I feel he's eye on me following me but I act like  I don't notice I go to an empty cubicle that is hidden in the back and sit down I look in the second drawer a find a huge folder with sticky notes on the front and they read  '' Needs to  be done by Wensday 120 dollars will be in your account by tusday'' the second stick note read ''The boss will come in on tuseday and Thursday at 7am till about 12pm on both days so please meet me at the coffee shop up the road at my lunch break which is at 10:30 we will talk about the detail then'' I sigh and stared opening the folder that's when I hear a knock on the glass in front of me and what do you know its James.

''Hello'' I say not even attempting to put that fake smile on my face I know he knows it's fake ''Hello'' he says  ''What can I help you with James '' I ask He looks at me with amusement in his eye and I say ''What'' Thats When he opens his mouth and says ''unless you want me to tell the boss of this company that his assistance has been paying a high school drop out to do her work you will get your work for today follow me with your head down and don't say a word unless I ask you a question oh yah and they have to be the whole truth to and I will know if you lie '' he says with a grin on his face I look at him with shock written all over my face how did he know all of this I think to my self I didn't tell anyone and the assistance wouldn't have told him and that's when realize he's nothing to play with so I get my stuff and do what he says I follow him with my head down. He takes me onto the elevator and then he takes me to a car his car.

I look at him and he just nods to the passage seat door and so I take the handle and get in I fasten my seat belt and just sit there as we take off I don't know why but I trust him a little even if he blackmailed me into his car I just have a feeling he had to have known for as long as I ''worked'' there what was going and I appreciated him not telling anyone so I speak ''Thank you '' He looks at me and says ''No problem I know how it feels'' I look at him with confusion and that's when we come to a halt he stop the car and parks he looks at me and says '' I know that look,I had that look when it happens to me I just have a feeling you have through it multiple times more than me but you didn't deserve  any of what you got'' I look at him with confusion and that's when he rolls up his sleeve and I see a medusa tattoo I look at him for a quick minute and I say ''My father he's a drunk he came to my house and knocked me out its happen multiply time in the passed the first time since I was a abult that it has happen''.

He looks at me with sorrow in his eye and he asks ''why didn't you call someone for that black eye I'm guessing you don't own makeup but doesn't your friends own makeup they could have helped'' I scoff and shake my head ''No friends me that's all I got is me'' He looks at me and just shakes his head Not anymore you can consider me your best friend I look at him and just say I can't argue this can I I say in defeat ''Nope not at al'' he says with a huge smile l I just laugh and ask'' Why are we at a warehouse'' He takes the key out of the engine and answers simply this is one of my closest friends warehouse where they just happen to live I look at him with confusion written all over my face ''They''  I ask He smiles and says Lemon and Badass he says they are my closes friends and My best friend exes ''Ohhhhhh'' I say why so they are friends now that crazy nope they are crazy and they will love you he says  I really hope they do I say to myself.

After James makes one phone call we go to the front door he knocks twice waits then does it aging for the third time a few minutes later a  5'10 blonde haired woman with curves out of this world answers the door James graded the woman in one of the biggest bear hugs I have ever seen he says ''I have missed you Lemon '' and the woman replied yah me too you have to visit more I love our calls but I miss seeing your gorgeous face Pimp. Same to you Lemon he says then Lemon  Looks at me and says what's your name I smile and say I'm London she pulls me into a hug and says fake smile don't work on me Lon she releases me and says Your face looks like you got punch luck for your badass is fixing up Cane right now so she can easily add makeup to the list of this to do but first we have to yell at Cane James shakes his head and says ''you know  Cane won't listen'' Lemon groans and says yes I'm aware but I think I should let you two in'' and with that we go into the warehouse home. 

Lemon walks us to a table where a cute 5'5 brunet who Is from what I gather Badass and she is patching up a guy name Cane who by the looks of it is James or Pimp's best friend.  ''Look at this the gang is all back together'' the handsome ruff looking man says then he looks at me and says ''Well look at that we have one more person with us today and och look at her face'' That's when the brunet finally looks up and I say Hello a small grin pulls at her lip ''look at her let me guess you're a smoker please tell me you are'' I look at her with an actual real smile  I nod and say Yes I'm a smoker and I still a little high from last night. Her grin is wide and she nods to James and says why haven't you let us meet her sooner he laughs '' London and I just became friends and as you see that eye is the number one reason we became friends in the first place'' Oh really she says what the story of how you got the black eye James tries to say mind your business but I cut him off and say my father he's an alcoholic and he came to my house and well I point to my eye this happen. I was looking for her to be sorry for me but she and everyone around me except ''Pimp'' just laugh she looks at me and says welcome to the Club of traumatic childhood and Abuse I smile at her and says well I'm happy to join James just looks at them and for some reason when they see his face the laughing stops.
