Addictive

Exposure

*Your POV*

        After the encounter with Gavin last night, our date ended there. Connor brought me home and left without barely saying a word. I wanted to tell him everything that happened earlier that day but I didn't know where to start. He looked heartbroken, if that were possible. Before he left, he reassured me we were okay. I didn't believe him..

      I spent the day packing up my clothes, Uncle Hank wanted me to stay with him for a while. I spent last night at my dad's alone, which was nice after what happened between Connor and I. I felt awful about it, but at least in my own house I knew I could cry about it without being judged or questioned.

      I locked the door behind me and threw my suitcase in the trunk of my car. I got in and looked in the rearview mirror. My eyes were red and swollen, there were dark bags under them. I sighed, rubbing my eyes as if I could wipe the redness away. I started the car and drove to Hank's house. Thankfully when I got there, no one was home, except Sumo of course. He happily greeted me at the door. I rubbed behind his ears and kissed him on the head. He was a really sweet dog once you got past his size. I sat down on the couch with Sumo, sighing heavily.

     " What am I going to do Sumo, Connor probably hates me." I sulked. " How can I fix this?"

     Sumo barked, and walked into the kitchen. I followed him only to find him eating his food from the bowl on the floor. That gave me an idea, maybe I could bring lunch to the station for Connor and Hank. It wouldn't fix things but it was a start, right?
     
      " Thanks Sumo." I laughed patting him on the head. He barked in acknowledgement and returned to his food.

     I quickly threw together some spaghetti and packed it up into two containers. I got back in my car and drove to the police station. Hopefully I wouldn't run into Gavin. I honestly felt like I could punch him after what he did last night. He ruined my date with Connor..

     When I got to the station, the androids at the front desk greeted me. She informed me Hank and Connor were out in the field but should be back soon. I nodded and went to wait at Hank's desk. I laid the bag with their food on the desk and sat down.

      " Hey (Y/N), how are you?" Chris asked cheerfully, leaning against Hank's desk. I sighed. " That bad huh?"

        " Gavin sabotaged my date last night." I said rolling my eyes.

     Chris frowned, " Yeah that guy is a pompous asshole. I was really surprised when you said he was trying to comfort you yesterday."

    I burried my face in my hands, shaking my head. Chris snickered.

     " I knew it." Chris lowered his voice and sat down in the chair next to me. " I thought I saw him running his hands over you earlier that day. Then when I saw you both on the roof I knew he was holding onto you pretty tightly. He was trying to force himself on you wasn't he? Did he tell you to keep quiet?"

    I nodded my head, " He was standing behind you mouthing the word don't when you came up."

    Chris rubbed my arm soothingly. He shook his head in disgust, " I knew he was a fuckin' pervert but that's just over the line."

     " Thanks, for talking to me Chris." I said quietly.

    He smiled, " You can always come to me if you need to talk." The phone at Chris's desk started to ring. He excused himself and went back to his desk.

     I took this opportunity to go to the break room and get a cup of coffee. Thankfully most of the police officers were working on cases or out in the field. So there weren't alot of people at the office. I sat at the table in the corner of the break room and looked at the clock. I didn't know when Hank and Connor would be back. I grabbed a magazine from the table and began to scroll through the articles.

     A few people came in and out of the break room to get coffee. Some of them said hi to me, the others didn't notice I was there. Which I was sort of thankful for right now. I was deep in thought when I noticed someone place a cup of coffee on the table next to me. I looked up and my stomach instantly turned. It was Gavin. I rolled my eyes and looked back down at the magazine I was reading.

    " What's wrong sweetheart?" He chuckled innocently. I glared at him. " Cat got that pretty little tongue of yours?" He said reaching for my chin.

     I slapped his hand away, " Don't fucking touch me."

    " Meow, Kitty's got claws. Awh what's wrong, did I ruin your date with your ken doll?" He laughed.

    I got up and started to walk away when he grabbed my arm, pulling me back down into my chair. " You should be thanking me. He's a fuckin' android (Y/N), he can't love you. You need a real man."

     I pulled my arm away from him and stood up again, " He's more of a man then you'll ever be." Gavin grabbed my wrist and causing me to trip over my chair. His face was mere inches from mine. " Let go Gavin, you're hurting me."

    " Oh I'm sorry, I thought you liked it rough. I thought you were just playing hard to get yesterday. Seeing how your last boyfriend beat you." He said backing me into the wall, pinning me there. He squeezed my wrist tighter, making me flinch. " I would have taken you on that roof if Chris hadn't showed up when he did."

    Tears started to pool in my eyes, I tried to keep them from falling but luck wasn't on my side.

    Gavin smiled cruelly at me. " Why would Connor want a broken thing like you?"

     " So I can protect her from scumbags like you " Connor snapped at him from the doorway.

    I looked to the doorway as Connor entered, he looked pissed. He grabbed ahold of Gavin and pulled him off of me. Gavin swung his fist at him, but was surprised when Connor caught his fist in his hand. Connor gripped his fist tightly in his hand until he saw Gavin's eye twitch.

    " Stay away from her." Connor threatened, pushing Gavin away  from him. " Or next time I'll break it."

     Gavin glared at us before turning to leave  the room. Tears started flowing freely down my cheeks. Connor pulled me into a hug, allowing my to cry into his chest.

    " I'm sorry Connor." I said in between sobs.

      He rubbed my back soothingly, telling me everything would be okay. For the first time in weeks, I actually believed it would.
