Another Life

Chapter Two - Boyfriend

-Lucy's pov-
I tighten my grip around Tim every time we go around a corner, and every time I tighten my grip he speeds up. Chuckling he says, "Do you think I'm going to let you fall off?" "No, I think I might get thrown off." I say sarcastically while loosening my grip.

When we get to my house I hop off the back of the bike just as Chris comes out of the front door. "Where have you been?" He shouts. "Sorry, but thank you for the ride and for what you did back at the bar." I say turning to give Tim a hug. "No problem. See you around." He says driving away. "Who was that? And why do you have hickys on your neck?" Chris asks as he steps in front of me. "Emmett attacked me again, and that guy got him off me. He's on Jackson's football team, his names Tim." I say brushing past him adding, "Just because your my boyfriend doesn't mean you have to feel threatened by any male you see."

I had a runway in the morning so I went straight to sleep until I get woken up by Chris. "I'm trying to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow." I said, irritated. "I'm hungry. I want you to make me a grilled cheese." He said slurring his words. "Make it yourself. It's not my fault you got drunk. I make the money and if you want to still be able to afford that grilled cheese, you'll let me sleep." I say turning over in bed when I feel his hand on my face. "Stop talking to me like that." He said walking into the kitchen.

"How did you even get this bruise?" Nyla (my stylist and makeup artist) asks, trying to cover the mark on my face. "I fell." I say, knowing she wouldn't believe it. Raising an eyebrow she stops and asks, "He slapped you again, didn't he?" I didn't say anything but the look on my face must have told her everything she needed to know. "You need to breakup with him." She says as she starts to cover it again. "I know but what if he turns out like another Emmett? I can't handle that. The only reason I got away from Emmett last night was because Jackson's football team was there."

After my makeup and hair is finished my manager walks in asking, "Why didn't you tell me you saw Emmett last night?" "Because, Angela, it wasn't that big of a deal. Plus I had a whole football team looking out for me." I say turning to see her. "So I heard." She said with a smirk. "But that excuse doesn't work for not calling me when Chris slapped you." She said crossing her arms. "I just wanted to go back to sleep. I didn't see a point in waking up when he left me alone." I say dismissively.

Sorry this is so short but you'll see why in the next chapter! Hope you're enjoying the story so far!
