Midnight love {Nika Muhl}

Part 8

                           Violet Montgomery

I laid in my bed staring up at the ceiling. This is what I have been doing all weekend as I didn't have practice.

I was so unsure about everything. About what to do next about how to do it. My mind is racing a million miles an hour as my body stays stuck in one place.

When I came back to my dorm. Lily didn't talk to me didn't even acknowledge me. I hope she feels guilty. Yes Austin was never a good boyfriend. But he was still my boyfriend. Still is? And I'm sorry if this is not girls supporting girls. But I think that if you let a guy fuck you and you know he has a girlfriend you're a slut. Sorry not sorry.

And I guess right now I'm angry. I think it's been a long time since I have been in love with Austin. But that doesn't mean I don't care for him even after all the shit he's done to me. I've still yet to hear back from the police about the restraining order.

But I need to end things with him. I guess I should do the before he can't be within a hundred yards of me.

This is my first step to accepting myself. And that's untying myself from all my anchors. My biggest one first. I rolled out of bed putting on my Uggs. I didn't really care what I looked like. I never really do. Unless I'm seeing nika. Or I know I'm gonna be on national television.

It was a short walk over to the frat house the he lived in. Once I got there I mustered up all my courage and nocked on the door. 4 times.

When the door was opened it was one of Austin's friends. Mike. "Oh hey vi Austin just got home he's upstairs." Mike said letting me in the door.
"Thanks Mike." I said as I began to head up stairs to his room.

"Yup no problem and hey vi. If you need something just holler." He said stopping me in my tracks before I continued on up the stairs. Once I was upstairs I walked to the end of the hallway. Seeing that his door was slightly cracked open. I peaked my head inside seeing him laying on his bed. By himself thankfully.

I came into the room closing the door behind me. "Hey vi what's up." He said confused as he stood up off his bed. "Umm I want to talk." I said taking a seat on his bed as he sat next to me.

"Sure what's it about?" He said his tone abnormally calm. "Austin I can't do this anymore." I said keeping my head down letting out a deep breath.

"What. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT VI." He said raising  his voice causing me to physically flinch. "Austin please. I know you don't love me anymore please just let me go." I said as I felt the tears begin to trickle down my cheeks. 

"Don't love you anymore. Violet. I should have always known you would do this. Blame it all on me. Ungrateful bitch." Austin said landing a hard smack across my face. I sat in shock for a moment before I found myself fighting back as Austin began swinging at me landing a hard jab next to my right eye.

I felt my vision blur as tears and what I am assuming is blood flooded my eyes. I pushed and shoved. Trying my hardest to escape his grasp. At that point I couldn't even feel the things he was doing to me. My mind to busy with trying to figure out how to get him off of me.

That's when I remembered. "MIKE." I screamed at the top of my lungs. Only once as Austin threw a hand over my mouth quickly. I laid there. Pushing shoving scratching doing anything and everything I could.

That's when I heard the door swing open. "What the- GE THE HELL OFF OF HER DUDE."I heard Mike say as he pulling him off of me aggressively.

I took this as my moment to run. I ran down the stairs. Out the front door and down the street. I didn't stop running. I knew that I need to get somewhere safe. So I ran to Azzi's apartment.

I kept running until I finally reached her front door. Banging it on the door as I felt the tears continuing to roll down my face.

Once the door opened and I saw Azzi on the other side of it I collapsed into her arms. She held me for a moment as I sobbed into her arms. Before she pulled my face away from her chest taking in my current state.

"Vi what happened." She said her voice so concerned. "I was trying to break things off and he got mad. It hurts az." I said burying my face into her chest again as I continued sobbing.

"Hey it okay I'm here you're safe. Come on." She said as she lifted me off the floor. I cried for a few more hours. Before I finally contained myself. Azzi told me I should take a shower so here I was staring at myself in the mirror.

I had a dark purple circle around my right eye. And a large gash in my left eyebrow and bottom lip. My stomach and legs covered in black and purple bruises. I gently wiped the blood off of my lip and eyebrow before getting in the shower.

It hurt as the water ran down my body. But soon I felt the hot water easing all the pain in my body but the pain in my chest never subsided. Did I deserve this? And if I did what did I do to deserve this? I felt myself beginning to cry again as I washed my hair. A few streaks of red in the water from the dried blood in my hair.

Once I was done in the shower I got dressed in some clothes that I had left at Azzi's. Luckily no one else was home when I showed up to her door sobbing. But I would have to explain it to them at some point. Due to my current state. Azzi said that after I showered we should go to the police station and make them process the restraining order right away.

So after I got dressed I found myself sitting in the police station waiting on the printed documents. After seeing the bruises and black eye. They put it through immediately. They asked if I wanted to press charges as I had plenty of evidence for him to be charged with a felony assault.

I told them I wasn't sure. They told me I had a week before it would be to late so I knew I had a lot of thinking to do. But after the day I've had all I want to do is go back and watch movies with Azzi. She said we could get chick fil a so I'm happy.

After I received the printed documents we headed back to Azzi's and began to veg out on dumb comedy movies as I'm not necessarily in the mood for rom coms right now.

We watched about 3 movies before I found myself drifting off to sleep.
