Katherine
"When you drop me off, don't leave because I need to give you something." I said while we rode in the car back to my place. "Okay." He said focusing on the road.
When we got to the apartment, he followed me inside. I looked inside of my bedside table and saw what I needed. "Here. I want you to have this." I said handing him a silver key. He studied it while moving it around in his index finger and thumb. "What's this for?" He asked looking up from his hand. "A key to the door. You can come anytime you want." I said nervously. I was only nervous because I wasn't sure if we were officially dating or not and I didn't want to seem like a freak.
He studied the key for a minute longer and looked back at me. "Thank you." He said turning his lips up into a smile. We stood in an awkward silence for a while until I sat down on my bed. "I know it might not be that nice, but I just thought-" I said before being interrupted by him. "Katherine, its fine. This is really nice of you. Thank you." He said sitting beside me.
I smiled at him only to have it turn to a frown. "Grayson..... what are we?" I asked. He looked confused by his facial expression. "What do you mean?" He asked. "I mean, you haven't asked me o be your girlfriend or anything..... but we act like it. I was jut wondering...." I began. There was another awkward silence before he kissed me gently for a quick second. "I'm not sure what we are either. But we'll figure it out." He said.
He walked towards me with clenched fists. "Blake what's wrong?" I asked while feeling myself become scared. Suddenly I felt a sting on my cheek and a bruise forming over my eye. "Why are you doing this?" I screamed out. I was silenced by another hard punch to my stomach. I lay on the floor crying into my arms, waiting for more contact. It comes one by one. Soon punches turn into kicks, kicks turn into insults. Slut. Ugly. Stupid. Idiot. Each word hitting me harder than any punch could. "Please stop." I felt another contact hit my face as I lay on the ground, slowly going unconscious.
I wake up with heavy breathing and tears running down my pale face and beads of sweat resting on my forehead. "Are you okay?" I heard Grayson say as he leaned his body up from where he was laying down beside me. "Yeah I'm fine. It was just a dream." I said breathless. He opened his arms to let me into a hug while he slowly lays back down and I rest my head on his empty chest.
"Grayson" I said trying to control my breathing. "Yes?" He asked in a comforting voice. "Please don't leave." I said clinging onto his torso trying to prevent myself from breaking free of his grip. "I promise I won't." He said brushing his hand through my hair as I slowly started to fall back to sleep.
Yes I know short chapter don't kill me! I really couldn't think of anything to write and when I did, this was all I had. I'll try to write more next time but I'm currently busy with a bunch of schoolwork at the moment so I won't be able to update as often.
