when I looked up from Berlin's face I noticed that Marcus was standing in the doorway of the salon with a rose in his hand.

suddenly My world stopped as my head spun, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and before I knew it fists were flying.

My limbs were frozen and my body numb until the stinging pain of a punch danced across my cheek.

everything around me became a blur and all sounds were muffled, the shouts coming from the individuals in the shop, the endless

"STOP" and "GET OFF OF HIM" all became muted.

I felt the gentle touch of Berlin's warm hands as he lifted me off of the ground, the muffled words

"Are you okay?" filled my ears as I saw his familiar face.

the sound of chaos ensuing slowly quieted when I saw Marcus's sillouhet leave the shop.

"y/n are you okay?" I heard the familiar voice of Berlin speak as his rough but tender hand cupped my throbbing, red cheek.

I opened my mouth to speak but was approached with a loss of words, the sudden sound of stammers escaped my mouth.

tears escaped my eyes and Berlin swiftly swiped them away with his thumb, Berlin used his strength to pull me up, his hands wandered to my waist sending shivers down my spine.

"y/n? Are you okay?" berlin asked breaking the gentle embrace between the two of us while resting his hands on my shoulders.

"I'm fine." I finally spoke up but in an overly soft tone, berlin let out a small chuckle

"I know you're fine, I asked if you were okay." so I smiled backing away from Berlin as his hands slowly left my waist.

"yo this may be a bad time to ask, but what about that date?" he nervously asked while anxiously rubbing the side of his neck.

"fuck it why not? but there's something I have to do first before we go anywhere."

"Are you sure? I can drive you there it's never a problem my love." my eyes glittered as my lips formed into a soft but meaningful and appreciative smile.

"I'm sure B, I'm just gonna change and I'll check in with you when I'm done," I assured him.

"okay whatever you feel is best, just be safe out there okay?" his brown eyes sparkled in adoration as he interlocked his gentle hand with mine.

I let out a small chuckle before replying.

"I will," I muttered pulling Berlin into a gentle hug before leaving.

The whole ride in the car my hands trembled against the steering wheel. I couldn't pinpoint the emotions I was feeling. Frustrated, embarrassed, hurt, sad. The sounds of the city whizzing by were silent, I could only focus on the questions my brain threw at me.

how could things have escalated so fast?

did he mean to hit me?

did I deserve it?

no, I couldn't have...

right? 

after what seemed to be ages I finally arrived home.

The last couple of hours were a blur; I must've blacked out. But the scent of gas and smoke woke me up. The blue and red lights burned into my eyes. I can still feel the cold steel against my wrists. Now all I feel is the hard cement of a jail cell floor.
