Saved By The One & Only

As Usual

Amy's POV:

I gather my thoughts and just as I notice security heading over to our area, Mr. Anderson is distracted long enough for me to run out.

I hear Mikayla calling after me but I ignore her and head straight for the exit.

I cannot bear causing a scene let alone having everyone figure out my past.

As I head in the direction towards home I feel the tears slip down my face.

I feel such anger towards Julian for entering my life when I have moved past those events back in college.

I am in a better stage in my life and yet here I am feeling as if I have to put on a brave face for the world and yet on the inside I need help.

***********

Damon's POV:

"Mikayla where may she be?" I question her in a tone very similar to work.

Mikayla seems pretty shaken up, which I assume has to deal with her boss just beating up some random guy.

She seems to asses the situation in front of her and quickly straightens up and sobers up.

"I believe she may have gone home." Mikayla responds very calmly while looking away to find her phone through her purse.

As I am about to head out someone grabs my arm and only then do I realize who it is.

"Woah tiger, gonna beat me up to?" Kyle says to me with a smirk on his face.

Only then do I realize that I can't go after her.

The next day.

Amy's POV:

As my eyes open to the warm sunshine on my face, coming through the window, for a second and only one second do I forget about my troubles. Yet as soon as I realize my reality do I realize that I am now living in the nightmare I once lived before.

I sit up in my bed and only then do I feel the exhaustion in my body.

As I get up and decide to get ready for work do I make a mental decision to not let this issue overrun my life, considering there are people out there who are dealing with actual problems.

***** 30 mins later

As I head out and walk towards the bus stop only then do I remember to check for my phone in my purse and when I can't find it I realize I must have dropped it last night at the club.

I roll my eyes and cannot believe I was that stupid to have lost my phone last night. Which now means I have to save some money or use some of my money saved to retrieve a new one.

I ride the bus in total silence while staring out of the window and wonder how I have gotten myself in this position.

It was not too long ago that I was having sundaes with my best friend while working at a seemingly comfortable job, simply awaiting for my chance at my career through achieving my degrees.

Now, I am working for a man who assumes he is the greatest gift to man kind, arrogant, rude, but yet has a soft spot for family issues, all the while no longer having a best friend and not too mention the man who had me almost raped has stepped into my life yet again to make my life a living hell, while dating my no longer best friend!!

Great... Now I'm having a conversation with myself while also having an argument with myself.

Because that's healthy.

*PING*

The sound breaks my trance and only then do I realize I have arrived at my spot.

As I get up out of the seat I take a deep breath and decide to seize the day.... or something like that.

*PING*

The elevator doors open and I step off the cart heading straight towards my seat.

As I'm walking towards my seat I notice EVERYONE staring at me.

Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.

What I have done. I think to myself.

"Amy!" Mikayla breaks my trance. She rushes over to me and gives me a hug.

I notice everyone STILL staring at me so I hug her quickly and decide to start walking over to my space.

"Hey, wait up" Mikayla follows me. "Are you okay?" She says lowering her voice.

I nod my head insisting I'm okay.

"Amelia." The powerful voice booms announcing his presence. "My office now."

I turn to place my purse on my seat and I close my eyes for a moment hoping I have the energy to deal with this man.

I give a small smile to Mikayla as I walk past her who only gives me a tentative smile back.

I step into his office and follow his instructions on closing the door.

I make sure that I take a deep breath as I walk closer to him with his back facing me.

He turns around and the look on his face shows me... anger... pure anger.

"Okay before you say anything I just want to apologize for causing any trouble or harm to you or even Mikayla." I let out a quick exasperated breath before I continue. "I promise you it won't ever happen again, that I can assure you of." I finally finish.

"Oh believe me Amelia it will most certainly NOT happen again I can ASSURE you of that." He expresses to me in a... concerned tone rather than an angry one.

I furrow my eyebrows in question of why he sounds concerned instead of pissed.

His face seems to relax a bit as he takes a seat and motions for me to take mine.

As I sit down I prepare myself to let him know that I can no longer work with him because I will only continue to put people at risk. 

"Mr. Anderson I cannot keep putting people in danger because of me, therefore I must resign from this job. I hope you can understand." I say to him as I stand up and get ready to leave.

"Wait! What! ?" He questions in anger.

As I continue to walk towards the door it suddenly flies open with Caroline barging in.

As usual.
