You Are My Everything

Chapter 5 - Facing Him Alone

Trigger warning in Courtney's pov
Pov Olivia
Sitting in the office like any normal day when Courtney walked in. She was a little later than normal, she's normally early but not today. I know about her boyfriend hurting her but she made me promise not to say a thing to anyone because she would figure it out. She seemed more bright and full of life today.
"Hey Liv what's up" she said walking up to me giving me a big hug.
"Noting much just working on a new script" I said pointing to my laptop. "Hey have you fixed the J problem?" That's what I called her problems with her boyfriend so people didn't know what I was talking about.
"Not yet but I am going to today after work" she said full of pride.
"Okay do you want me to go with you" I asked hoping she would say yes.
"No I can handle it on my own" she said but I don't believe her. I know it's no use fighting her so I just nod with a smile. Our day goes by pretty normal. We film some show with no name while Shayne and Courtney are filming with smash games. Soon we have to film a just dance game bang for sg. I think we'll film it tomorrow. After work I walked with Courtney to her car. She said she was going to work on the Jake problem today so hopefully she does. We part ways and I go home hoping she'll be okay.

    It wasn't my best idea to face him alone but I knew I should. It's my problem and no one should help out. If I need a place to go Damien lives close but if I have time I'll go to Olivia's. The drive home was pretty good. Traffic actually wasn't to bad and good songs came on the radio.
    I walked up to my front door. I moved in with my boyfriend but didn't move everything in most of it was in storage. When I walk in I no one was home so I pack as much of my stuff as possible and put it into my car as soon as possible. When I was done I sat in the living room on my phone. Then I heard the door open.
    "Babe I'm home" I heard his voice walking up behind me.
    "Hey how was work" I asked trying not to make him mad.
    "It was okay not to bad" he said walking to the kitchen. I know what he was getting I knew I should tell him now but my heart started racing faster and faster. He walked in and sat next to me with a bottle of whiskey and two small glasses. "What some" he asked me. I could smell the whiskey on his breath from the drinks he took in the kitchen.
    "No think you I'm fine" I said looking down.
    "Okay whatever" he said filling his glass. He turned on the office while I kept my eyes on the tv. My hands started to shake uncontrollably. "Hey you okay" he asked pointing to my hands.
    "Yeah I just. I need to talk to you" I said taking a deep breath. "I just. I don't think things are working out between us. I think we need to break up" I rushed the words out.
   "Huh. I see" he said drinking the rest in his glass and poring more. "You know that doesn't make me very happy at all Courtney" he said drinking the rest of his glass. He's such a lightweight for drinking a lot. He stood up grabbing me and dragging me to our room. He threw me on the bed then took his shirt off quickly. "I didn't want to do this Courtney but you should know. You shouldn't leave me" that was the last thing he said before it happened. Even wanting to say it breaks me. I was crying and yelling the whole time. Finally he stopped and fell asleep. I got up and dressed and ran out of the house. All my stuff was already in my car or my backpack on the couch. I grabbed my bag and left.
    I didn't know where to go. Olivia she can help me. I looked at the time. 12:30 Olivia was probably asleep and with her boyfriend. Damien he told me I could go to him whenever I need to. I pull up to his apartment and knock on the door. He was probably up stairs in his room. I called him instead.
    "Hey Courtney what's up" he said his voice groggy from sleep.
    "Yeah um can you come to your front door" I said between sobs.
    "Yes hold on I'll be right there" he said sounding frantic. Soon his door opened reviling a shirtless Damien. "Come in. What happened" he asked as I walked in.
    "I.. I told him we should break up. He wasn't happy. He hurt me. He touched me" I said avoiding the word. It made me feel so dirty.
    "Courtney did he. Did he force you to um you know" Damien asked softly not wanting to say the word while holding me stroking my hair. I couldn't say a word I just nodded my head. I cried against his chest holding onto him tight fearing letting him go. "Do you want to stay in the guest room or with me" he asked. I know it was because of the last time I stayed with him.
    "Can I stay with you" I asked.
    "Of course come on" he took me to his room and let me change into a pair of shorts I had for a shoot earlier today and one of his shirts. He can into his room when I was ready and we laid down and I feel asleep quickly in his arm. I felt safe from everything with Damien.
