Shattered Innocence (BWWM)

LII

//I'm in pain//

21 weeks

Alison lay on her side looking out the window Porsha sat there watching her. Her mind was constantly going back to what happened only 14 hours ago. How she was brutally beaten before being saved.

She hadn't say much since they saved her, nor did she want to. All she really wanted was be alone to come to terms with the fact that Ettore had scarred most of her body for life. It meant that he body was no longer beautiful. Her back and legs were tattered with marks. He face would also have that slash on his cheek. She would never show most of her skin again due to what he did. She would never be the same.

She wanted to sleep but every time she closed her eyes, her mind would take her back to that place where she felt as if she was in hell.

All she wanted was to forget but nothing seemed to work.

Poor, sweet Porsha had been there for the last 2 hours, talking, trying to cheer her up, but nothing worked. She just lay there looking out the window.

"Hey, come on. Where's that smile of yours?" Porsha said smiling

"It was beaten out of me". Alison's voice was cold, and harsh as a tear fell. Porsha immediately frowned after hearing that. She's never heard Alison speak like that.

"Don't be silly. In a few days you'll be back go normal" Porsha said trying to be optimistic but she knew that she was fooling herself. But Alison ignored her and kept looking ahead.

"You know, your mom knows everything.." Porsha said seriously. Finally, Alison turned her eyes away from the window and to Porsha.

"Kingsley, bugged my phone and heard a phone call between me and Antonio talking about the... The.... The kidnap.... He recorded it and showed it to your mom who barged in Harold's office, demanding answers" Porsha said as she remembered that day.

Kingsley was something else and Porsha couldn't wait until Harold killed him. She wasn't one for violence but it was needed with him as he clearly didn't get the message the first time.

After hearing that, Alison inwardly signed. It seemed like the nice approach just didn't work. It now seemed that when she next saw him, she had to lay it hard on him. She thought being nice would spare his feelings but enough was enough. He had no right and she wasn't to have it.

"I just wanted to tell you so that your ready when your mom comes all guns blazing" Porsha thinking about Calesta will do when she finds out that Alison's back.

"She's also going to bring your half siblings, she also called your brother and obviously, she's going to call your dad and he'll want to-"

"What makes your think that I want to see any of my family?" Alison asked making Porsha frown.

"What makes you think I want to see anyone?" Alison asked again.

"What makes you think I want anyone to see me like this?!"

"Alison-"

"What makes you think that I want anyone to see what the bastard did to me?! To see how he tainted me?!"

"I don't know" Porsha said.
