The Broken Girl Meets Mr. CEO

Sorry for any mistakes :(

  Kendra

  My feet banged on the stairs as I ran up them to my apartment. In my left hand I held one heel and the other heel in my right hand.

  I was out of breath by the time I got to my apartment door. I banged on it knowing Celeste was in there.

  I could hear her walking to the door as she opened it a crack slowly with Chain still on the top of the door.

She saw me standing there out of breath with sweat on my forehead, her eyes widened and she immediately closed the door. I could hear the chain being unlocked quickly before the door swung open again.

"What happened?!" She exclaimed pulling me into a hug. I left my hands at my side for a bit before hugging her back and letting the tears roll down my cheeks and onto her tank top.

  I still had flashbacks in my head as I slowly pulled apart from Celeste and tried wiping the tears off my cheeks and wipe the wetness around my eyes.

"What's going on Kendra? What happened at the event?" Celeste ask and I just walk past her not wanting to talk about it.

  I can't believe I'm crying over Eric Kinsley. I pushed that thought away because I wasn't crying over Eric, I was crying over him.

  Eric's hard glare was just like his. The way he backed me up into the wall was like him. I couldn't take another him. It would just break me even more then I already am.

  I walk to the small kitchen grabbing a cup of water to calm myself down and stop crying. I grab the cup of water and slide down to sit on the dirty floor with my back against the counter cabinets.

  Celeste quietly sits down next to me. She wasn't talking or asking questions now. She just sat next to me which I liked. So quiet that all you could here in the apartment was me gulping down the water.

  Once I was done with the cup I sighed and sat it down on the floor on the other side of me.

  "A few years ago I was in love. Young and in love." I started and Celeste look at me and simply nodded signaling that she was listening to me.

  I look forward again and sighed before speaking again, "He was everything I could have imagined. In my eyes he was perfect. And he was to be honest for the first 8 months of the relationship I couldn't see how a girl like me could be with this amazing guy like him."

  Celeste sighed and I knew she wanted to say something like 'that's not true, he should feel like he had you' but she chose to stay quiet and nod her head which I am glad.

  "Then, one day I was frustrated about something and I got a little angry. I had gotten this way in front of him before so o didn't think he would react the way that he did, but he did.

"How did he react?" Celeste asked quietly.

  I sighed and hugged my knees thinking about the memories, " He slapped me. At first I was shock and in pain both physically and mentally. Then, he immediately apologized a bunch of times and all day the next day so I never saw anything to it. Then he would start doing t more often and the hits would start getting harder."

  I could here Celeste gulp next to me and lightly place her hand on my back as I felt another tear slowly roll down my cheek.

  "Then, it got so bad. I had gotten news that I would live with this day. He was so angry. I could see the fury in his eyes. Looking at Eric's glare and the way he stood close to me and spoke to me with that deep voice as a warning. I couldn't control myself and panicked."  I explained and breathed out while my lip quivered. I hated when it would do that when I cried.

  Once I was done I stood up to get more water and gulped it down. I had a strong urge to make that water to alcohol.

  Celeste stood up too and finally pulled me into a hug. I let the tears fall then getting her shoulder sleeve wet. I'm glad that I ha her here. I probably would have been drunk by now.

"You're a strong women. You have gone through so much. I know there is more to the story that I don't know but from what I do know now, you didn't deserve it and you don't ever deserve to be treated that way. You'll get through this and you'll find someone loving and caring. Even if you don't? You've got me and I'd be obsoletely love to marry you." She said and I grinned at the last part especially,

"Thanks Celeste, you're a good friend." I brought her in for one more tight hug.

She slept with me and we watched movies to keep my mind off of it but my mind still wondered to bad places.

I just didn't know what I would say or do when I see him tomorrow.

I hope you liked this chapter. I know it's been forever but I'm not done with this book yet, we've got more chapters with answers and multiple twist and turns to come :)

Thanks XOXO,
