Once In A Blue Moon

Chapter 4

*The next morning*

"I need to talk to her"

"No. You need to leave"

"Quinn, I know she's your friend but I really need to talk to her"

"So,you can hit her again? I don't think so"

I'm waken by noises, a loud argument from downstairs. I can make out the voices, It's Quinn and Daniel.

What is he even doing here. It's a surprise Yolande isn't in the conversation, she's a calm person, but after what happened, I'm pretty sure, the whole state would hear her shout.

I get up and wear the clothes Quinn set up for me. And head downstairs.

I know I'm walking right into hell but I can't run away from it now can I?

"Quinn Please...I just " Daniel stops pleading and his eyes snap on my direction and he walks towards me.

"Samantha, I don't know what happened.." He takes my hands and squeezes them and I flinch "I'm so sorry for what I did, Please forgive me"

He gives me a very apologetic look that I can't stop looking at in disbelief.

These same eyes burned with anger last night before hitting me like a punching bag.

I realize I didn't say a word until Quinn bursts "Oh my gosh Samantha, Are you seriously giving it a second thought? This man nearly killed you!"

"Quinn I believe she can speak for herself" He turns to her and back to me

"Baby, we can talk this out, we can even go see an expert, we can make this work again" He assures me and I find myself imagining Daniel and I having a peaceful conversation, walking in a park and laughing like carefree teenagers.

"Okay" I smile weakly

"What?!" Quinn jumps in "Are you crazy?!"

"You heard what she said Quinn, now leave it" Daniel spits and guides me towards the door I hear Quinn sigh behind me

"Don't say I didn't warn you Samantha" I hear her say while closing the door behind us.

The car ride home was silent. I was absorbed in my own thoughts to break the ice.

When we reach home, I get out of the car first and rush inside to avoid more awkwardness. I throw my shoes off and look for comfy clothes to stay home with.

While shuffling in the closet, I get some yoga pants and go lay them on the bed, I hear footsteps and turn to see Daniel walking in the room with an unreadable expression on his face.

The weirdest thing happens.

He walks to me and pulls me into a hug. My whole body stiffens so I just stand there like a statue.

"I'm sorry" He starts.. I open my mouth to say something and I find myself pushed on the bed with Daniel's chest heaving.

"I'm sorry I LEFT YOU HERE UNGUARDED LAST NIGHT, what were you thinking calling your little sidekicks here?!"

Talk about Bipolar.

Jeez! Okay so we're back to this I see, I'm so tired of fearing this good for nothing piece of shit.

"I'm sick of you telling me what to do!" I shout back

"What did you just say?" He asks slowly and chuckles afterwards.

What the hell is wrong with this man?

"What's funny?" I ask him in disgust.

"What's funny?" He repeats and starts pacing around

"Listen, For your own safety, don't play the hero because heroes always end up with nasty scars or in a grave" He finishes with a smug smile.

FYI, Mr.Smarty Pants, The justice league survived.

I furrow my eyebrows and stare at him, silently praying he'd drop the abusive dominance act. I sigh and roll off bed.

"Where are you going?" Obviously shocked I didn't answer him back.

"I'm going to shower" I pick up my yoga pants and sweat shirt

"Oh" Still shocked "I'll be in the living room"

"Okay,I'll be down in a couple of minutes to prepare lunch" I say in calm tone and stepped inside the bathroo.

"Uhm, Okay?" He leaves

So, that's how you diffuse a walking bomb, If we fight, I'll end up dead and rotting under the ground of my backyard.

I have to play little slave to stay alive.

What I'm I saying? Am I giving up?

So this is it huh?

Little Samantha will forever be Daniel's Pet.

Oh well, let's see where this takes us
