Aquila's world changes before her eyes as the man she meets in a bar, becomes the only thing she learns to fear. She wants nothing more to stay and continue loving him but his cruel abuse becomes too much to handle, leaving her with only one alterna...
I stir in bed before fluttering my eyes open and I take notice that I'm not in my room and I sigh, running my hands over the material of the silky sheets that engulfed my body.
my mind registers that I'm in Austin's room and I take in his smell from the pillows below me and I sit up, stretching before my feet hit the white fluffy rug and I squeeze my toes, the softness of the rug making me sigh.
I pull my hair into a bun before I lazily make my way across the room and I open the bedroom door to a very quiet house and I sigh, walking to the kitchen, noticing a note on the fridge.
Aquila, I went to grab some things for breakfast. make yourself at home, I'll be back soon. love, austin.
I smile at the note and I remove it from the fridge before throwing it away and I decide to take a quick bath before Austin would come home. I walk back to the room and I retrieve a pair of clothing followed by a towel.
I push open the door and my breath is taken away as I take in the view. the city was clear as day through the huge windows right behind the tub, which was in the middle of the room and I set my clothes and the towel on the steps and I begin to undress myself.
I begin the water before removing my undergarments. I notice a box of unused bath roses and I decide to throw them in, I'm sure Austin wouldn't mind. I remove my undergarments and I step in, letting my body sink and I rest my back against the cold tub and I close my eyes.

I push open the door to my condo, quiet as always and I set the groceries down on the counter and I notice the note I had left for Aquila was gone and I decide to wake her up in case if she decided to go back to sleep.
I knock softly, getting no response and I burrow my eyebrows, opening the door and I find an empty messy bed and I notice the door to the bathroom slightly cracked.

her back was towards me, her hair in a messy bun as she stared out into the city and I cross my arms over my chest as I lean against the door frame of the bathroom and I clear my throat, making her jump.
I laugh lightly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." I say and she dips her body back into the water and she glares at me. I sit on the steps of the bath as she closes her eyes and leans her head back.
"are you just gonna sit there while I take a bath?" she asks, this time opening her eyes to look at me and I smirk. "I'll take that as a yes." she mutters, sitting up.
