A Closing Exist

Chapter 10

*Rose P.O.V*

I closed the door behind me and walked slowly. Still in daze, I took off my heels and waited in front of the elevator.

"Hold it," my subconscious ordered," don't you dare let a tear slip."

It was too late. I crouched down and cried like there is no tomorrow. The darkness engulfing my heart and aching it. I wanted to rip my heart out and relax but it was not as easy as it sounds. The elevator dinged its presence, sitting on the floor and bringing my knees to my chest. I rested my head on my knees and closed my eyes. Fuck you David. Fuck you, you piece of shit. I don't like how just a minute of his appearance ruined mine. The elevator's doors closed and soothing melody is played in the background, along a heavy breathing sound. My eyes open but I don't lift my head. I have no clue who it might be and I don't want anybody to recognize me. My breathing heavies as well. I hear footstep stopping before me.

"I will say this once so you better hear me loud and clear," his raspy voice echoes," don't you ever dare jump to conclusions from my end. Don't you ever dare say those things you said back there ever again. I am not a monster; furthermore, I am not a fucking toy. I will not tolerate any further situations where you downgrade my own feelings. They are mine and I would know them better, don't you think?" He took a breath," for God's sake how did this night end like this."

After a long pause, I reply, "I am sorry". I lifted myself up and continued," I am trying my best to think that there are good people out there but I just cannot seem to trust anyone yet, even you. I know it hurts but that is the truth. It is not easy to give someone your everything when you have nothing to offer".

"Why do you keep giving me the impression that love is a wreck?" He asked.

I scoffed,"What is it to you? I clearly just said that I do not trust you yet you're prying into my life," I looked at him dead in the eye," for someone who looks smart you are quite slow on understanding." Before he got to say anything I continued, "Love? Do not make me laugh Mr. Hall."

"You stupid ass bitch," my subconscious spat," you crossed the line."

The right side of his lip rose and he looked at me with no emotion," I think you forgot your place. I may have an interest in you but I don't tolerate someone speaking to me like that."

I stubbornly said," Gee, if we ever were to have something and you keep thinking that you are almighty how do you think it will work? If you want to fire me, go ahead. My life does not revolve around the kinds of you."

"The kinds of me?" He laughed," what do you know about the kinds of me?"

"More than you know," I wiped away my mascara," but I want to know whether I am talking to Finn, the guy who says he likes me, or Mr. Hall, the CEO of the company."

"Why? Will you disrespect one and respect the other?" he quirked an eyebrow.

I clicked my tongue at him," childish".

He came closer to me, looking down at me," excuse me?"

I looked down at my heels that are on the side, wearing them still won't bring me to his height. I gathered my breath, stepped back where my back touched the wall of the elevator, and looked at him.

"Nothing."

The elevator opened and I grabbed my heels. As I was moving past him, I stopped and whispered," You better go back to that suite of yours or else you'll be getting us attention that we don't want."

" With that look of yours, you will get all the attention you need."

I smirked and hummed," who knew you can be a bitch? Oh wait, everyone already knows you are."
