Being verbally abused hurt, being mentally abused hurts too, but being physically abused by the man you terribly want to hate but can't, is worst. Lex hurt me in every meaning of the word, and I'm still processing the love that I've been feeling for him. Little Lex, that's how we called him at school. He's five years older than me but when he was ten he looked like he was six because of his baby face and his height. I was twelve when he left and falling hard for my first love, when one day he was gone I cried, and cried, and cried. And now I'm crying because of him. Fucking heart for loving the wrong guy.
"Oh Lisa!" A voice I'd liked to hear, Angelica's. "Let's get you out of here" she took off the cuffs, and held on to me. "You need to eat, sleep and a bath" she helped me undress when I heard a gasp "Oh my God! Who did this to you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine" Is she crying? For me?
"Lisa, this is never fine, you need a doctor, stitches, bandages, something"
"Angelica, no doctors, because they'll put me to sleep and I don't want to sleep, not ever" she sniffed "You do it, I trust you"
"But I'm just a maid"
"No, you're my friend" that made her smile and me too.
"Okay, stay here. I'm going to look for some bandages, painkillers and vodka" she laughed and left.
A couple of minutes later she came back with everything she said she was going to get. I've never drink a drop of alcohol but seeing the vodka made me want to take it from her really quick and drink. And I did.
"Oh, careful with that! It's not really a woman's drink you know"
"Yeah, figured" even with the painkillers and the vodka, when she applied alcohol on my back I screamed so loud, Bruno came inside and when he saw me, he gasped. I don't know if I'm going to be able to have a man so close to me, ever. "Please, don't come any closer" Angelica covered my body.
"Sorry, I just heard you and thought you needed my help"
"Don't need it, thanks" he left.
"What's wrong?" Angelica asked.
"I can't have a man so close to me, nor touch me"
"I'm so sorry!" She hugged me.
The pain was excruciating, but I was bandaged and cleaned. Angelica's attention was sweet and even comforting, she told me about Lex doubting Mateo, about the camera in Pablo's house, about Gio missing my resistance practice and about the Lord fucking whores every night. Of course I don't care, but he declared his love to me three weeks ago so why is he fucking them? Because what he said was bullshit.
"FUCK!" someone shouted from downstairs.
"What is it my Lord?" I heard Bruno say, yes the door was open.
"Fucking Mateo" did I heard right? "Let's go" they left.
