Caught In Between (B5 Story)

*Next Morning*

**Andria's POV:** We were leaving early in the morning to make it to Atlanta at a reasonable hour. I felt incredibly tired and in pain. Dustin was already awake and preparing the car, filling it with gas. Mayyah texted me to let me know she was on her way. I slowly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. Once inside, I completed my hygiene routine, then grabbed my makeup kit to begin applying my makeup.

I had to ensure that no scars or bruises were visible because I couldn't let anyone see my condition, and I didn't want anyone confronting Dustin either. I layered on as much makeup as possible to conceal the bruises and scars. After that, I examined my body and noted the numerous bruises and new welts from the belt.

Andria: "Fuck, man... wait, I know exactly what I can wear!"

I walked back to my room and searched for my long-sleeved denim shirt. After rummaging through my third drawer, I finally found it. I then pondered what would go well with it and decided on my black leggings. After putting those on, I spotted my long black heeled boots.

Andria: "Perfect!"

I returned to the bathroom to style my hair, opting to let it hang down to cover the bruise on my neck. I adorned myself with jewelry and headed to the kitchen. Upon entering, I saw Dustin had already prepared something to eat, so I focused only on myself.

Andria: "Let's see... I'll grab these two teas and a cereal bar."

I wasn't much of a breakfast person, so I typically ate lightly in the morning.

After gathering my items, I headed out to the car.

Dustin: "You got your stuff?"

Andria: "Yeah, here it is."

He began loading the remainder of our belongings into the vehicle.

Dustin: "Anyway, I hope you covered up every scar, because if you didn't..."

Andria: "I did, Dustin, no need to worry."

Dustin: "Oh, I wasn't worrying about myself; I was concerned about you. If you didn't, some shit might go down."

Andria: "Well, I did, so chill out."

He abruptly seized my hand, pulling me closer.

Dustin: "You told me to chill? YOU TOLD ME TO CHILL?"

He raised his hand as if to slap me, but just then, we noticed Mayyah pulling up, so he released me.

Dustin: "You'd better be glad your assistant saved you."

Andria: "..."

Dustin: "I'm going back inside to grab a drink and lock up. Be ready to go when I return. Do you understand?"

Andria: "Yes, sir."

Dustin: "Good."

As he walked away, Mayyah struggled to get out of her car with her bags.

Andria: "Hahaha, girl, you need help!"

Mayyah: "Oh no, I'm just trying to get out of this car with these bags for fun."

Andria: "Oh, okay."

Mayyah: "The fuck, girl... yeah, I need help!"

I helped her with a few bags.

Andria: "You shouldn't be so sarcastic, then, smartass."

Mayyah: "Whatever, anyway, where did that bitch go?"
