chapter 18- Explanation

 Annie's pov

A-I was at the party and Carson was with me most of the time...but I told him to go to his friends. I was walking around and I wanted to rest for a bit so I found a room no one else was in. I was alone for awhile but t...then he came in. He wasn't super drunk. He was aware of what he was doing. He saw me sitting on the bed alone and he looked at me like he just found a pot of gold. He got closer to me and...

I felt a tear drop down my cheek.

A-He told me to do things I didn't want to do. When I told him no he got mad and he...he hit me.

I saw the anger in Hayden's eyes. It looked like he was gonna kill somebody soon.

H-Who's he?
A-I can't tell you
H-Annie if you don't tell me I will find out on my own
A-You can't hurt him

He let go of my hands and I immediately missed his touch.

H-He fucking hit you! There's no way he's him a get away with this!
A-I'm sorry

More tears fell from eyes. Hayden no longer had anger in his eyes. He grabbed my hands again and he leaned his forehead against mine.

H-You do not need to say sorry. I'm sorry for yelling
A-Thank you...for caring
H-Annie

He lifted his forehead off mine but we still had our hands interlocked.

H-Tell me where he hurt you

I looked at him. I still had tears in my eyes but not enough for them to fall.

H-Please

I slowly lifted my shirt to show the big bruise on my stomach.

H-*mutters* that bastard is going to jail

He said it quietly but I could still hear him.

H-Tell me who he is. I'm gonna beat the living shit out of him
A-He can't go to jail...there's no proof that he actually did anything
H-What about the big fucking bruise on your stomach
A-I could have easily got it for something else
H-Why are you protecting the fucking dude?
A-Because i don't want to think about it
H-Why don't you get some sleep
A-okay....

Yikes! They are getting along 💜💜ily
