"What happened? Hennessy cried hugging Honey. Honey didn't say anything she just stood there. "Julian what happened? She asked looking at me with worry. "Her ex did that shit" I said as we were beginning to leave the room. "What the fuck? I told you to leave him" Hennessy yelled.

"I did leave him, he jus-"

"Ughh you shouldn't have let him in" She said cutting her off.

"I swear to GOD; I will hurt him" she snapped. "You didn't even pick of when I called you" Honey said weakly.

"Well I'm sorry I didn't get to it. Since I'm such a b-

"Ay, relax now ain't the time to be arguing. Don't you think" I chimed in looking over Hen. Honey could barely talk and she wants to jump down her throat.

3am


I unlocked the door allowing her in. She walked inside rubbing her arms. It blew my mind that we had a fight in here hours ago and now she's back in here but different. I felt so bad looking at how distraught she was. I just wanted to embrace her as much as I could, but I know I couldn't erase the pain she's feeling inside even if I wanted to. "You can sleep in my room if you want" I said.

"No I'll just sleep out here" she said lowly. "Nah I want you more comfortable" I insisted. "It's fine, really" she said sitting on the couch. "You can stay here as long as you need" I said walking to a closet. I handed her a pillow and a few blankets. "Thanks Ju" she said sitting down. "Anytime" I said sitting beside her. It grew quiet for a minute I ran through my thoughts thinking of what to say. I glanced over at her to see her staring at the television that wasn't on. I can tell she was still a state of shock. "Um do you have a t-shirt I can throw on? She asked.

"Yeah" I walked back in room. I opened my dresser handing her one of my t-shirt. She pulled down her dress forgetting I was there. I viewed her beautiful but yet bruised body. She quickly pulled down the shirt. I sat beside her as she stood there blank.

"Honey come here" I said. She looked over at me. "I'm fine" she said. I knew she wasn't fine; she's always been good at hiding her emotions. She turned back viewing the TV "No you're not, I got you" I said

"I am really" she said innocently. I slowly pulled her closer to me placing her on my lap wedding style. "You don't have to do all of this" she said lowly trying to reject my friendly gesture. "Stop" I said pulling the blanket over her. "I said... I'm fine" she ensured. I know apart of this was because of what I said earlier. "I'm okay" she sobbed. She finally stopped resisting and laid her head on my shoulder, crying hard and loud. "It's okay, it's going to be alright" I said holding her tighter as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Shhhh its okay" I said trying yo console her as much as I could. I looked down at her and kissed her forehead. She began calming down as I just stared out the window. My adrenaline was reaching an all time high and something had to be done.

"Don't let me go" she begged. I snapped out of my train of thought looking down at her. "I won't" I ensured her.
