UNNECESSARY VIOLENCE - joão félix

𝒔𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒏-"Give me your hand."

I woke up the next day without João anywhere near. I sat up slowly as i rubbed my eyes and then crawled out of bed. I put on an oversized hoodie and walked downstairs.

I made my way to the kitchen but just as I was about to walk inside I heard João speaking with someone on the phone. I furrowed my brows and listened to his conversation:

- Look i can't do anything about it anymore. Her best friend died a week ago, give me a fucking break!

I felt my chest tighten as he mentioned Trent. I shook my head and walked inside. The guy turned his head and hung up.

- Who was that?- I came up to him and wrapped my arms around his chest.

- No one relevant, princesa. How did you sleep?- He asked with a smile forming on his face.

- Great, but waking up to an empty bed was in fact not on my list.- I pointed out and raised my brow.

He chuckled and gave me a kiss. He was in shorts and without a shirt on. I was turned on but had to calm down since we just had sex last night.

I couldn't help myself but kept kissing him. He didn't reject me or push me away. After a few minutes we pulled away. I was hungry and my stomach was giving signs of it.

- What'd you like to eat?- He asked as he walked to the fridge.

- I'm fine with my water.- I answered as I walked to him and took out a bottle out.

- Ellie you need to eat. I could make you something.- He stated as he made eye contact with me.

I kissed my teeth and rolled my eyes. I knew that starving the fuck out of myself wasn't a good option, but i'd be super sick if my stomach had anything in it.

The grief was insane. I barely slept or eaten and now i felt seek whenever i'd eat anything or even drink. He was right after all, i needed to have a good meal.

I asked for scrambled eggs and soon we were both sitting in the living room, eating breakfast.

- You know, when Trent and I bought this house, we stayed at his parents' house while it was getting finished.- I explained, trying not to sob like always when talking about him.

- I wondered how you and his mom are so close. That's actually so nice.- He answered, smiling at me.

I sighed and gazed around the house, remembering all the good and bad things. It felt so quiet and empty now that he was gone.

The doorbell made me get out of my imagination and brought me back on the ground. I stood up from the table since i was done with my food and went to open the door.

Soon after i saw Dominik at the entrance. I took a deep breath and crossed my arms, waiting for the guy to say something.

- How are you holding up?- He started, making me roll my eyes in annoyance.

- Cut the crap Dominik. Why are you here?- I answered with an angry voice.

- I found this in my things. It doesn't belong to me or the other guys so i'm assuming it was either Trent's or yours.- He said as he passed me a bracelet.

I nodded my head taking it from him and then closing the door, not letting the guy say anything more. I walked to the living room, sitting down and examining the jewelry.

I saw that it was a shell bracelet with a small "N" on it. I ran to Trent's old room and started searching through his things. I found a small piece of paper and read it:

Thank you, for being you Noe.

My eyes filled up with tears as I started at the letter. He got me this earlier this year and never gave it to me. I started crying uncontrollably and soon after I heard João rush upstairs, then running up to me and hugging me tightly.
