Unbreakable To Broken (TW- SA AND OTHER UNCOMFORTABLE TOPICS - READ DESC)

Fragile.

Mia finished up in the bathroom, she felt cleaner but it wasn't enough.

Mia was getting changed in the bedroom and ready to get in bed. Charlotte was downstairs listening to her footsteps wandering above her. The couple would sometimes sneak up on each other to give them a slight surprise. She wanted to cheer her up.

Charlotte slowly began to creep up the stairs to not alert Mia that she was coming up behind her, carefully opening the bedroom door revealing the redhead stood in the middle of the room with her head in her hands. Charlotte was unprepared for the reaction that Mia was about to give her when she gently grabbed her by the waist. Mia gasped, swiftly swung round and shoved Charlotte, making her lose her balance. The instant guilt grew rapidly inside of her when she realised what she had actually done.

Charlotte was stunned as she had never received this kind of reaction from Mia.

Had something happened? no. surely Mia would tell me. she trusted me. Charlotte wondered to herself.

Before charlotte could even open her mouth.

''Char I'm so sorry! you just startled me. I'm so sorry, are you okay?'' Mia apologized, trying not to trip over her words.

She didn't know what to reply to Mia, She just stared at her, making eye contact, she could see the fear behind Mia's eyes.

''I'm okay... Mia are you feeling okay?'' Charlotte questioned while trying to regain her balance.

Do I tell her the truth? no. it would only hurt her. She wouldn't look at me the same ever again. She would be disappointed in me. After all I was now officially classed as damaged goods. I cant tell her.

The different outcomes overcrowded her mind. she didn't know what to do. For their own good, it was safer to stay quiet.

Even if she wanted to, the words wouldn't leave her lips anyway.

''of course sweetheart, I'm just tired. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you!''

Charlotte could tell that Mia's apology was genuine.

They both got into bed, they didn't even exchange looks before the lights went out. Just a singular ''night''

Charlotte drifted off pretty quickly.

On the other side of the bed was Mia who could hear the mans unfamiliar voice, echoing slightly in the back of her mind every time she even attempted to close her eyes. She twitched as the images of the event flashed in her mind. His phantom hands still lingered all over her, so desperately she tried to fall asleep. She was so exhausted, her eyelids felt like weights but something was preventing them from closing. She was wide awake.

Mia grew frustrated as she failed to fall asleep, she just wanted to escape the thoughts even if it was just for a few minutes, they were taking over her mind. Mia didn't see his face but she didn't have to, he was still everywhere she looked.

She did successfully drift off for few minutes but was suddenly awoken in a cold sweat and a state of panic, he was there. She couldn't even escape reality through her dreams without him haunting her.

She tried again.

Minutes of trying turned into hours and before she knew it, Birds were tweeting and the sun was rising. The shadow of the blinds reflected on the wall. It was almost time to get up.

She hadn't had a wink of sleep.

Charlottes alarm went off startling her letting out a silent gasp.

It was time for work. The last place she wanted to be.
