OLD WOUNDS

God did it hurt.

Seeing him in front of me after almost a year from my move here from Marley. It was as if he dug his hands into my chest and ripped opening up the old wounds that had healed clenching my heart in the same hands that used to beat me every day, his blunt nails digging into every crack he left imbedded into the muscle.

He clears his throat to get me out of my dazed state, his honey-colored eyes taking in my features as if he had forgotten them, "Long time no see huh?" he asks with a subtle smile. What the hell was wrong with him?

Did he forget the three years that he made my life a living hell, treated me as if I was just there to please him, and his needs, and his fucked up view of 'love'. But he looked better, his blonde usually messy greasy hair was freshly cut, and his eyes were... normal. He wasn't on anything.

I sighed softly looking down at the floor and recollecting my thoughts before I looked back at him my face as cold as the marble I was standing on, "What are you doing here Mark?" those were the only words I could muster, I wanted to do so much more, I wanted to scream yell, even hit him but I was frozen in place.

His smile dropped and a scowl twisted on his face when my words hit his ears, he was used to me back in high school when he would leave me and I would beg him to stay. But, this time was different, I left him, and I didn't want him anymore, which hurt him more than he expected. "That's the greeting I get after almost a year of not seeing you?".

Ah, there is the self-absorbed fuck I know. I chuckle softly in disbelief at his words, he can't actually believe I would run back to him after all the shit that went down? The heroine fucked his brain up more than I thought. "If you wanted someone to leap into your woman-beating arms like a princess, Freya is more than happy to fuck her older sister's ex again".

To be honest don't know where this surge of confidence came from, maybe it was because I've healed and evolved from the scared little girl I was, or maybe just maybe... it was because Eren was standing beside me hidden out of view by the door.

He sighed and clenched his hands into fists before he reached up and rubbed his chin, "You still stuck on that? C'mon, she's you're step sister, and the opposite of you. I needed a change" he says trying to peer into my apartment and I pushed the door close but, keeping it open so I can peek my head out.

"Mark look it's been a year since I last saw you, I don't care if you're clean I will never ever be with you again" I say a small grimace gracing my face as my eyes take in his face that contorted into a scowl.

"Really? and how 'bout the three years that you would beg me to stay?" he says as he lunges forward pushing the door open causing me to fall back a few steps back, he made his way into my apartment but before he could get to me Eren stepped infront of him.

"Look man, she doesn't want you anymore. Accept it" he says with a grin on his face standing tall infront of Mark his arms crossed over his chest.

Mark looks over at me then back at Eren his eyes wide a creepy smirk growing on his face, "God you really are a whore aren't you? Already on a new man's dick-" before he could finish Eren quickly grabs him by his collar pushing him up the wall with a glare on his face.

"Who in fucks name do you think you are?" Eren says his voice laced with venom his fist gripping Mark's collar so tight his knuckles turned white.

"The man who had your girlfriend over here, on her knees for three years" he says with a smirk but before he had the chance to mutter anything else Eren squared him right in the nose causing him to stumble forward, Eren punched him gain this time causing him to topple to the ground. But before Eren do anymore damage I rushed over to him gently gripping his arm to pull him back.
