Pretty Hurts - Erik KIllmonger x reader

Chapter 9

TRIGGER WARNING!!!

"Oh my God! Y/n! Y/n! Wake up!" I hear Layla and Leon rushing in the room and pulling my clothes on. "What the fuck happened?!" I hear Layla screaming and crying.

"I got her, yall go start my car its parked out front" Erik says to leon and layla, tossing them his car keys as he picks me up bridal style and I hear him say "Im gonna kill him" I open my eyes to see Eriks face before everything went black..........

My head is throbbing and my body hurts as I jolt awake, not knowing where I am. I'm confused and in pain. Where am I? How did I get here? Suddenly I feel the wind being knocked out of me as the memories of last night came rushing back to me. I forget all about my surroundings as I pull my knees to my chest and start crying loudly. How could I have been so stupid?! I let myself get roofied by the same guy who took my virginity and ran to a bitch I just beat up last night. I can still feel his hands on my body, his warm breath on my skin. Why does this shit always happen to me? At this point I'm crying so loud and hard that everything goes silent....... I think I'm gonna be sick. I cant breathe, it feels like I am having a heart attack.

"Y/n? Y/n calm down, I need you to breathe. Breathe Y/n. Breathe." I hear a familiar voice as I look up and see Erik walking towards me, sitting at the edge of whoever's bed I was on. "Is it ok if I touch you?" he asks and I nod my head, not even being able to respond correctly.

He scoots over to where I was and wraps his arms around me as I unravel in his embrace feeling myself melt being in his arms. He smell of cedarwood and shea butter soothing me. He rubs my back and tries to calm me down "Y/n I'm so sorry baby." he repeats like a lullaby as he tries his best to soothe me. At this point im ugly crying and hyperventalating so bad that I feel myself about to get sick....literally.

"I cant believe this shit happened again! Why does this keep happening to  me? What have I ever done so fucking wrong?" I say in between cries.

I remove myself from Erik's embrace, quickly missing the feeling of him having his arms around me. "Im gonna be sick. Where's he restroom?" I say sniffling and trying to stand up. I quickly regret that decision when I feel my legs give out under me. I collapse as Erik catches me and helps me to the restroom in the room I was in.

I shut and lock the door behind me before I empty my guts in the toilet. Tears streaming down my face and Clarence's voice echoing in my head saying that I "deserved that shit". That alone causes me too feel even sicker. I wretch and heave as I keep throwing up.

I feel a hand rubbing my back as I am hunched over. I thought I locked the door? I dont even have time to even figure out how he got in the bathroom.

I finally finish and I go to stand up and flush the toilet before looking in the mirror and seeing marks on my neck. I whimper as my shaky fingers graze the fresh black and blue bruises around my neck and shoulders. I see Erik standing behind me in the mirror with his jaw clenched as our sad eyes meet. I turn around to face him and he looks down at me "Im sorry, you shouldnt have to deal with me. Imma go" I say.

I reach for the bathroom door and his hand grabs mine and he smacks his lips looking at me "Babygirl stop saying your sorry, none of this is your fault."

"I dont wanna burden you Erik I'm fine" I say sniffling

"Y/n your shaking, just let me help you...let me take care of you." he looks in my eyes as my tears cloud my vision. I nod and he pulls me back into his embrace. It was so weird to me because in his arms I knew I was safe. I knew he wouldn't let anything happen to me. Right now, in his arms was the safest place I could be. My makeup and tears stained his white wife beater. I bring my face up from his muscular chest "I ruined your shirt I'm sor-"
