Bubblegum Bitch ✶ Roman Roy

[016] world on fire

[016] world on fire

                                   After what had happened at the party, Alice had completely shut down.

                                  She had stayed inside of her own apartment for the next whole day, not taking any calls from anyone. Not even her own parents. She hadn't even shown up to work which she knew she'd be punished for later. Alice was absolutely haunted by what had happened to her. And the moment she had gone home, she blocked Harvey's number and everything. She never wanted to see his face again, let alone hear his voice. Alice didn't want to be around anyone right now, even despite the fact that she needed to be. Tom and Shiv's big wedding day was approaching, and she was supposed to be hopping on a plane with Roman pretty soon so they could leave for England.

                                 But all Alice wanted to do was disappear.

                                 Alice had washed herself constantly, scrubbing her skin clean so she wouldn't have to feel Harvey's hands on her anymore. But it wouldn't be enough. She'd still feel him on top of her and she'd still feel his hands on her. Alice even had nightmares about it, leading her to not be able to sleep properly.

                                 She hated letting that bastard win. But so far, that's exactly what was happening. And that made Alice feel even worse.

                                 During Alice's second day of solitude, she'd get an unexpected visitor at her door. When Alice first hears the knocks on her door, she's nervous. For a moment, Alice wonders if Harvey's tracked her down to terrify her into silence. Alice is scared, but not of him. She's scared of herself and what she might do to him if he ever came near her again.
