Innocent ✔️

Forty four

I groaned and tried to cover my eyes to block the sun shining, hitting my eyes, making me blind. I finally opened my eyes when I couldn't and sat up in bed. I felt my shoulder too heavy when I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom in my room.

I was too thankful when Jonathan told me about it knowing that I can stay in the room as much as I could. I knew that he was trying to make me happier than when I was with Jackson and even if it should work, it wasn't.

I took off my clothes and took a quick shower knowing that the longest I will stay, the more I will think so I just chose to make it quickly. I put on some comfortable clothes on and walked downstairs.

I sighed knowing that I was here to make everything myself. I walked in the kitchen and started to make breakfast. Jonathan gave Kyle the right to come take breakfast with us every morning which made me feel a little better being here.

I started to do omelette while Jonathan's cup of coffee filling in the coffee machine like he told me the first day I came here, which was a month ago.

A month. A whole month passed by without seeing him. It's been month that my life became boring, repeating my day every day for thirty one whole days. It was always the same thing done. Wake up, take a shower, make breakfast, clean the house, spend the day with Jonathan if he is home or Kyle if he doesn't have anything to do and then go to sleep if I don't feel like writing in my diary on a paper or reading. I left my diary there and I was so scared for anyone to find it but I somehow didn't make a big deal out of it. After all, I left everything there in my own room and I don't think anyone would do the effort to look for my diary anyways. It felt so much longer than that though. I miss everything in the other house. I miss him.

"Anastasia!" Someone called, breaking my thoughts.

"Y-Yes." I looked behind to meet a shirtless Jonathan standing by the door, looking at me. I turned back around, looking back down at what I was doing, grateful to be on time to take off the eggs before burning them.

"I said good morning like twelve times." He said. I could feel his steps coming closer with my heart beats racing.

I froze for a moment but then heard a chair being pulled out and heard him sit down. I closed my eyes sighing then put the omelette down in his plate and took the cup of coffee and placed them in front of him.

"Sorry, I wasn't listening."

"It's okay." He said and took a sip of his hot coffee.

Where is Kyle? And why didn't he came to take breakfast with me. I started to make my way out the kitchen but felt a harsh hand pulling me back.

"Where are you going?"

My heart dropped in my knees before looking back at him.

"I-I will go see...uh...I was wondering why Kyle didn't pass by today." I said, trying to make sense with what I was saying.

"I sent him to get me something." He said and stood up to be on my level even if he was much taller than me.

"Why him?" I tried to take my hand off his hold but he only tighten his hold on my wrist.

"Are you going to tell me what to do, Anastasia McLeod?" He said.

"N-No I was just-"

"You were what?" His voice and eyes soften when they looked down at my body, making my heart beat faster.

I was scared. I felt like something bad was going to happen and I had no idea how to stop it. I felt like he was going to force me to do something I didn't want to do and could even hurt me if I refused.
