Not So Perfect

Breakdown

Angela doesn't know how long she cried in his arms. He didn't let her go for a second. Trying to soothe her and massaging her back. When she is done she has lost all strength. She separates herself from him. She takes deep breathes composing herself.

"I'll let you finish and then we'll talk."

Angela nods knowing she has no words at the moment. Tony leaves and she stands there for a second. Her mind processing what had just happened. She looks in the mirror and knows she made a great mistake.

She quickly puts the clothes back on. Quietly opens the door. She slowly makes her way to the living room. She quickly spots her bag on the kitchen counter. She quickly grabs it and makes her way to the door as she searches through the bag. She's is glad to find both phones in the bag.

Angela manages to open the door. When she hears footsteps behind her.

"Where you going?"

Without a second thought she slams the door shut. She takes off running down the stairs. One foot at the bottom and her arm get yanked.

"What's wrong?" Tony asks.

"Let me go!"

"You don't have to be scared."

"I'm not!"

"Then why you running?!"

"Because of you!"

"Me?"

Angela can see that she's hurting him. All he's been trying to do is help her. But there was no helping her.

"Yes you. You keep prying into my life as if you have any right. We're not even friends."

Their fight was attraction unwanted attention. She tries to pull away but he tightens his grip.

"Let me go!"

"No."

"You should really let her go," Jesse says.

"Are you okay?" Maggie asks.

"He's just overreacting," she says pulling her arm.

"I won't ask twice," Jesse says.

"Stay out of it," Tony says.

"Not when you're mistreating her," Jesse says.

"I'm not hurting her."

"I can say you are," she says coldly.

Silence falls around them. She is full aware that she over stepped on that comment. Especially with Maggie and Jesse being present. At the same time she didn't care at the moment. All she wanted to do was leave.

"Did you want to explain what happened to you before you go spreading lies?" Tony asks coldly.

A horrible thought come to mind and she bites her lip. It hurt her but she needed him to back out. For once and for all.

"Do you want to end up like your dad?"

His eyes widen in disbelief. She can see the sadness and anger fog his eyes. His grip loosens and his arms fall to his side. She takes a few steps back.

"Maggie take me home."

No one moves as everyone stares at Tony. Tony just stares at her still fogged up eyes. She looks away trying not to break.

"Maggie now."

"Yes."
