(Y/N) walked the dark streets of Oakland, California, tonight she had worked a late shift at the bar, but she had gotten fired for 'Assaulting the customers' although she was the one being harassed by them, the thought couldn't be flooded out of her mind.(Flashback)
"Nice ass you got there baby." The blonde haired male sneered while biting down on his lip and his other friends laughing as you took a deep breath and tried to walk away like nothing happened, "How about you let me hit it from the back and taste some of that chocolate." Another one of his friends called out which quickly made you turn around and storm up to him angrily.
"Excuse me, but that's not how you talk to me, I am your waiter not a damn hooker on your corner." You exclaimed angrily to the group of men but they only laughed at you, and just as you thought it couldn't get any worse that night, yet you were so wrong. Closing time came around and the men that harassed you still stayed around and were completely drunk out of their minds, but you, on the other hand, was in the back throwing the trash bag away in the dumpster until you were suddenly up against the wall and cornered by the two men from before.
"Gentlemen, it's closing time, you're both drunk, please just leave me alone." You stated calmly before trying to move but the blonde haired man stood in your way "I don't think so sexy." He spoke making you scrunch your nose, you can tell they had been intoxicated by their breath and before you could say anything else, they had your mouth covered and arms above your head, as they began to roam their hands around your body and kissing against your neck, while all you could do was scream into their hands, luckily before they could do anything else you kicked one in the balls and kneed the other in the stomach and had them both on the ground in pain.
Before you knew it you were kicking the shit out of them in the stomach, screaming and crying, this by far had been the worst night of your life but it was going to get worse, once your boss came out and started to scream at you, " (Y/N) what the hell is wrong with you assaulting the customers?!" He screamed out and all you could stutter out was "Mr. Thompson i..i..it isn't what it looks like! They sexually a..a...a..assaulted me..!" You said with tears trying to tell your boss the truth but the words 'Fired' were already screamed out his mouth so you didn't bother to beg or argue back, so you quickly gathered your things together and began to walk home.
(Flashback over)
And that's all she could remember, that's the only thing that would replay constantly in her mind, not the fact she got fired but the fact she got sexually assaulted without any justice to it, but soon she would be home so she continued to walk. Once getting home to her apartment she pulled out her keys and opened her door only to be greeted by Coco (her pit bull) and Erik, sleeping on her couch with Spongebob playing on the TV, so trying not to wake them she quietly closed the door and tiptoed to her room and changed into a tank and some sweat shorts and only to be startled by a tired yet concerned Erik. "Hey you work late tonight?" she nodded before walking past him before feeling a tight grip around your arm, this was normal and would only happen if he knew something was up or he was concerned.
So, you turned around to let him observe you and the first thing he noticed was the multiple purple and blue marks covering both sides of your neck and collarbone "You met someone?" He asked with a deadly tone but you could hear the hint of caring and sadly you responded with no answer, which quickly alerted him that it wasn't someone you met with, so quickly you pulled away from him not in the mood to deal with this night, but due to his quick reflexes he grabbed you quickly by the arm and dragged you into your room and slamming the door, "What the hell happened?!" "Listen I don't want to talk about it Erik." you said calmly towards his loud and angry demeanor.
"The fuck you is! I need to know what happened, just because you worked a late night shift doesn't mean nothin' happened!" He screamed looking at you, but you only held your head down as you sniffled, "Awe, man (Y/N) don't start that crying bullshit wit-" "I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AND TOUCHED!" You screamed out as you began to cry with the hot tears rolling down your face, the expression on Erik's face had turned from angry and frustrated to soft and concerning and soon you felt him softly hold your face and wipe away your tears and kissed your forehead, "Baby girl, we'll talk about this in the morning, okay?" you nodded your head as you wiped your eyes.
You opened the door letting the worried and ready to attack Coco in, but once seeing you were okay, she was okay and laid down at the end of your bed, afterward you turned off the TV and the rest of the lights in your apartment except the kitchen lights, then laid down in bed with the shirtless Erik who had on some sweatpants, this hadn't been the first time y'all slept in the same bed before, but that's all there ever was. You never wanted to have sex or anything like that until you found, the one who you truly loved. Once in bed he hugged you close and kissed your forehead and mumbling the words "I love you." with all the meaning in his heart, but you only replied with an 'mhm' this also wasn't the first time he's said this to you but it was usually joking and because Y'all had a close friendship together, so soon Y'all fell asleep in each other's arms, close together.
