My new life.

Chapter XI

"Kai?" He questions he doesn't know my ex's name so he's confused, "My ex." I look at him with tears running down my face, he gently holds my face and moves us slowly to my couch and sit down, "Scarlett you have to tell me what's going on please." He looks so sweet like I can trust him with my life and I think I might be in a second. "Charles please." "I can't help you if you don't tell me what is happening Amore." I have to tell him I have no one him and Emily are the only people I have now, "Okay." I start to cry harder, "Scar it's okay take your time." He puts his hand on my knee and gently rubs his thumb across it and it actually calms me a little bit, "No it's okay, you deserve to know. Kai is my ex boyfriend, we were set up by our parents. At first he was great but that only lasted probably about a month, then all of a sudden he changed, he started yelling at me getting up in my face and then he started to actually hit me. One time he actually lost it and beat me then just left me on the floor unconscious, the next day I woke up and went the hospital he broke 4 ribs and I had a serve concussion, I told my parents but they didn't care they actually told me I'm not allowed to leave him at all. I went back to his and mind shared apartment and he was there waiting for with a drink in his hand, he walked up to me and just slapped me without saying anything. I went to our room to try and get some sleep but it turned out he had a different idea, he was obviously drinking for awhile he stunk of alcohol, he comes into the room and gets on top of me and no matter how hard I pushed him off or screamed nothing worked and he raped me. After he fall asleep I quickly and quietly got out of bed and just packed my shit up and left and well now I'm here." I couldn't bare looking at him after all of that it hurts to much, he doesn't move at all and I get scared what if he hates me now? What if he can't even stand to look at me anymore? What if h— my thoughts comes to a halt when I feel him slowly wrap his arms around me in a hug, when he fully hugs me I just break down, I've held it all in for so long and I've just felt so alone for so long just to now have someone who seems to actually care about me, I just feel, well I don't really know what I feel but I know I like this feeling and I hope it can last. "It's okay Scar I'm here now I'm not going to let anything like that happen. I promise." After a long hug he picks me up so easily it surprises me a little bit, he takes me to my room and puts me on the bed at first I refuse to let go of him before he whispers to me "It's okay I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to go make food and put a movie on. I'll be right back." I shake my head no he's the first person in a very long time who has made me feel safe and I don't want to let go of that, "Do you want to come?" I can't talk from all the crying so I nod my head yes and somehow he still managers to carry me all around like it doesn't phase him at all, after he gets some snacks and heads back to my room he puts me down and hands my phone obviously hoping I let go of him and I do, he goes and lays down at the end of the bed finding something to watch, who put his knowledge I take a quick phone and post it, knowing my instagram is private and only the people I follow can see what I post.

He puts on a movie but after all the crying I've done tonight I fall asleep early on in the movie.

Charles' POV
I put a movie on and after a couple of minutes I look back at Scarlett to see her asleep, she looks so exhausted and it hurts me, I know she only wants to be friends with me but I can't help but fall for this girl she's everything and more. After hearing what has happen to her in her past and the way her parents didn't care and they way the pushed her to stay with a guy like that, I hate them and I've never met them and I hope I never do. I go up to the head of the bed and grab my phone to see she's tagged me in something i look at the photo and like it while leaving a comment saying 'you owe me nothing mon amour ❤️' this girl has got me wrapped around her pinky and she doesn't even know it, I have yet to tell any of the guys about her but I have to tell someone so I text Pierre my best friend.

After I sent my last message I decide it's time for me to sleep as well so I plug my phone in then find Scar's phone then plug her's in as well so it's charged in the morning. I get back into the bed hoping she doesn't mind me sleeping here but I get my answer when she rolls over and hugs me in her sleep I couldn't help the smile that grows on my face, I finally shut my eyes and fall asleep with the most amazing girl in my arms.

(A.N. Hiya guys, I'm so sorry it's been awhile I was on holidays in the snow and it turns out there was no service so I couldn't do much. I'm also sorry if this isn't a great chapter, I'm trying 😂 please enjoy either way 🫶)
