[12] not invited

Lily's POV

Today is already the 4th day that I have been staying at Lorenzo's place. It's unbelievable how quickly it goes by. Today also due to the fact that the electricity in the cafe will not come on this evening due to repairs. I wanted to go to work, but in the end I will stay at home.

But anyway, I haven't had such a nice girl's day in a long time.

I still feel bad that I live with Lorenzo and I don't even pay him for it. I told him several times that I would be happy to pay him some rent, but he simply does not want the rent. But I will definitely repay him someday.

But it seems to me that my nightmares are getting worse every night. I do not understand why.

I'm home now and I'm in the kitchen. Before I give myself an everything shower and shave, I definitely want to eat. I didn't have breakfast in the morning. And I found nutella yesterday evening. When I saw it, I wanted to eat it, but in the end I decided that I would make a nutella toast today. It reminds me of a childhood I never had.

Every day I make dinner for Lorenzo, but I'm not entirely sure if he likes it. He often eats practically everything though. I also promised him dessert today.

I toasted those slices of bread gently, but at that moment I heard the door open. Is Lorenzo already here?  However, it's only 3pm, he usually comes around 5pm-6pm. Lorenzo said that Dante would come here often too. Maybe he brought something to Lorenzo's work-

"Who the fuck are you?!" Someone yelled at me and I got really scared.  When I turned around, I saw a guy.  Who is it?

“Ummm… I-Im Lorenzos friend."  I answered him gently.

"So you are his bitch? Leave."  He said and I started to get scared. But if Lorenzo didn't mind that I was here, he probably would have told me no-

"LEAVE!" He came closer to me, so I slowly backed away.

I accidentally bumped into a dekorative table where there was a vase of flowers. I dropped the vase by mistake and it shattered into pieces. I didn't mean to, but the man really doesn't seem nice.

"You bitch!" He yelled at me and threw me onto the straps. I felt a few of those pieces of glass cut into my legs. It hurt, but the guy pushed me so hard that I fell. My torso almost fell to the ground, where there wasn't so much glass, but still.  "You worthless bitch!" He started grabbing me and started beating me. Honestly, it's worse than the uncle and his two daughters. They didn't give such blows, but this is another level of pain. He has punched me in the eye a few times. As if I didn't have those blackeyes there anymore.

He started kicking me. But I kind of ignore the pain, unfortunately the pain will come when the adrenaline disappears from my body.

When he finally stopped, he took me by the hair and kicked me out of the house.

"AAHHHH!" I started screaming at her in pain. I'm sensitive to my hair and not many people can touch it, but this is a terrible pain.

"Go out you little bitch!" He threw me out and he rushed back inside.

When I looked at my legs, I saw such big glass shard in my leg, fortunately not in my foot, but it still hurt a lot.  Then i probably got my lip cut again because I can taste blood in my mouth. My eyes hurt terribly. My vision is blurry.

I'll have to get to work somehow. My safe place.

The winter outside is quite pleasant for those wounds. It's almost spring, but at least I'm wearing warm clothes and a light sweatshirt.

But my whole body hurts. I don't have anything for that.

That's why I got up. I have to go to work, I will treat my wounds there.  I've slept at Ava's place once before, maybe if she didn't mind, I'd at least sleep at her place today. Thank god I live close to the café. It's much closer to me than when I lived with my uncle. But along the way, thoughts came to me. If Lorenzo didn't want me there, why wouldn't he tell me? He said he wouldn't let anyone hurt me? I didn't expect Lorenzo to be like that. I really thought he was different and wanted to help me. It hurts my heart, but I'm used to such things. It hurts , but I'll get over it.
