"Are you going to be okay?"
Sasha asked me.
"Yeah I'll be fine."
I said, fiddling with my hands, not looking at her.
"Hey."
She said as I looked up at her.
"Seth would never let anything happen to you."
She said. I rolled my bottom lip as I took a deep breath. Sasha went to her room and I walked into the bathroom. I looked at myself and sighed. My face was stained with mascara, my hair was everywhere, and my heart was in a million pieces. I slipped my engagement ring off my finger and just looked at it. I thought about what it meant, to me at least. Seth and I's love. Seth cared about me enough to put this not-so-cheap piece of metal on my finger. But why did I need the metal to know he cared about me?
I sighed, putting my ring on the counter and looking up at my beaten up face. You could see the hurt all over it. I took my makeup off quickly and washed my face.
"Bayley?"
I heard a voice outside the door. I quickly tied my hair up and opened the door.
"Hey."
I said, looking at Seth.
"What the hell did he do to you?"
Seth asked. I walked out and sat down on the bed as Seth sat next to me.
"Okay so you know how I use to be with Aaron before I was with Finn?"
I asked him as I looked down at the floor.
"Yeah."
Seth said. I rolled my bottom lip as I took a deep breath.
"He used to abuse me. He used to leave bruises, he used to break my bones, he used to mentally and verbally mess me up. But I stayed with him. Cause I thought he would change. I was so naive. I thought he loved me, but he was just using me. Using me to further his career. Using me to have a place to stay. Using me for everything. And I let him."
I said as I sighed. I could feel Seth getting angry and I didn't even have to look at him.
"Seth?"
I asked, looking up at him. He was pacing back and forth and wouldn't even look at me.
"Seth don't do something you're going to regret."
I said as I looked at Emery, somehow still sleeping away in her car seat.
"If not for me, for Em?"
I asked him. Then I watched him walk out of the room. I had no idea where he was going or what he was going to do. All I knew was I needed some sleep.
