Tw: Domestic abuse
~ one year later ~
You walked through the shopping centre, hand in hand with your new boyfriend Leo. You spent most of the last year try to get over Jude which was when you met Leo. Things moved quickly and you started dating while you were trying to get used for life without Jude.
"I need new shoes, let's go into here." You said as you turned into the adidas store.
"I'm getting tired y/n" Leo rolled his eyes as he allowed you to guide him into the shop.
"I know, last shop and we will go." You said smiling trying not to make him angry.
You began looking through the different shoes and the different colour ways trying to decide which pair you wanted when you heard a familiar voice behind you.
"Y/n?" You heard someone question.
You turned around and faced the voice and a smile formed on your face.
"Denise" you said as you allowed her to pull you into a tight hug.
"Oh my goodness, it has been far too long, I've missed you so much darling." She said as she held onto you.
"I've missed you too dee" you said as you closed your eyes as you felt the sadness wash over you.
"You know it doesn't matter what happens I always want to have a relationship with you, you'll always be my daughter." She smiled softly as she pulled back from the hug.
Just as you were about to say something you heard a voice that sent shivers down your spine.
"Mum, what do you think of this one-" Jude began to say until his eyes fell onto you making him stop in his tracks
"Y - y/n, uh, how are you." Jude said, the look of complete shock on his face.
"She's fine." Leo stood up quickly from his seat and grabbed your wrist pulling you back towards him.
Jude face turned into a deep frown as he watched you get pulled back aggressively.
"I asked y/n" Jude said slightly aggressively back
"I answered for her, she's fine." Leo said through gritted teeth as he squeezed your wrist tighter and tighter by the second.
"I'm fine." You said completely flustered as you dropped your line of vision to the floor desperately trying not to react the stinging pain that was coming from your wrist.
"Are you sure?" Jude asked full of concern.
You nodded in response keeping your head low not being able to bring yourself to look Jude in the eye.
"We're leaving, drop it." Leo said referring to the shoes that were in your hand.
You quickly dropped the shoes and looked up quickly to face Denise and Jude worried that it would be your last time seeing them.
You wanted to say goodbye but the words were stuck in your throat as you were yanked out of the shop.
"What the fuck was the about, you think I'm fucking stupid, you must have planned that." Leo spewed aggressively.
"I had no idea I swear, I didn't even know he was in the country." You said as you felt the tears stinging your eyes overwhelmed by everything that happened in the last few minutes.
"You're a fucking liar." Leo screamed as he dug his nails into your wrist to try and inflict as much pain as possible without raising suspicion.
"Please stop hurting me." You said as the tears fell out of your eyes.
