Beaten & Bruised

Numb to his cruelty

The next morning I woke up and I still had a slight headache but it wasn't nearly as server. I got myself fully awake when I noticed the room filled with an insane amount of sunflowers and pink and yellow balloons.

I was thrilled but the events of last night still flashed through my mind. I knew he was drunk and that was the major majority of the problem and maybe he didn't mean to kiss her, but how dare be accuse me of messing around with Logan he was a friend and nothing else.

There was a table with room service breakfast sitting next to me with all of my favorites blueberry pancakes, strawberries and raspberries and my favorite type of juice. It was an incredibly sweet gesture the only problem was I was here alone.

Kendall was no where in site which made me wonder where could of ran off too.

I enjoyed my breakfast none the less and got up to get me a shower while I still had the chance to do so in this nice hotel before we had to get back onto the bus.

I turned on the water as hot as I could get it just as I liked and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
The mark on my forehead was very distinctive and there was no way of hiding it, which only made me more upset when I thought about it.

Then when I looked at how red and sore my arms were I started to cry. Kendall and I had to talk, today.

As I felt the water run off of my body into the drain below I couldn't turn my thoughts off in my mind. I kept replaying him and that girl kissing over and over in my mind.
 

When I heard the click of the door close and Kendall's voice yelling my name.
"Baby!" He yelled in a sweet curious voice.
I waited until he yelled for me again before answering.
"Just a minute!" I said cleaning the remainder of my makeup off of my face.

When I looked at myself in the mirror I almost didn't recognize myself. I had a faint red mark still on my cheek and a good sized bruise and cut in the middle of my forehead. I felt myself fixing to cry but I quickly let the things upsetting me fade as Kendall yelled for me again.

I got dressed into something comfy and met him by the window seat on the other side of the room.

His mouth dropped and he covered it with the palm of his hand when he saw the mark on my head. He shook his head insanely and grabbed me and held me tight. "I'm so sorry! Trinity! Oh my God I didn't even know it looked this bad! I should have taken you to the hospital you could of had a concussion." He exclaimed feeling terrible about it. He cleared a spot for me to sit next to him and grazed his hand over my forehead it hurt most definitely still as much as the night before but I was trying not to let it bother me.

"Are you feeling okay?" He asked me pushing the hair behind my ears that was still wet. I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a side glance. "I wish maybe I had a concussion.... then maybe I wouldn't remember you kissing another girl in front of me..."  I said letting out a heavy sigh... he blew out a cloud of air from his lungs and grabbed my hand and looked around the room for a moment.

"I am so so sorry babe!!! I don't even remember anything about the nightclub all I remember is what happened when we got home and I dropped you by accident" he said again trying to get me convinced that's what happened.

I tried to be angry with him but I couldn't everytime I should have been he made me feel wanted. He was sweet, and gentle I just shook my head and bit the bottom of my lip. "Accidents happen..... " I replied with remorse..... "Kendall please promise me you won't drink like that again.... it ruined yet another night out... and I don't like seeing you that way..." I said as my lips quivered from the coldness in the room.

"I promise Trinity for now on I will only drink at home I won't make a fool of you again..." he said squeezing my hand and crawling his head into the corner of my neck being snuggly and cute and just like that he was forgiven.

As we gathered all of our stuff and headed back to the bus, I gathered as many flowers as I could to take back with me as Kendall walked behind me carrying both bags. Out of nowhere he stopped and said he had to tie his shoe so I waited patiently but when he said my name and I turned around, I was unable to find the words to describe how I felt in that moment.
