A Single Moment Of Sincerity

🥀chapter seventeen🥀

Nothing happened yesterday me and Ben spent the day watching films until he needed to head to the studio to do some recordings for there new album.

This morning I spent cleaning my house after I had finished cleaning I showered thinking about everything that had happened this past couple of days. Only I couple of days ago I despised these men and now I'm making up for lost time.

Once I finished my shower i got changed into my work uniform not bothering to plaster my face in makeup.

I decided to walk since I had left my car there days before because I'm an idiot.

The walk was quiet slow there was barely anyone on the streets because it was raining. Just like most of the time in Britain. I could tell that today we wouldn't have many customers.

Once I got into the diner the warmth washed over me like a blanket. I quickly sighed in and walked out into the back room. I could see that my manger was stressed which worried me a little.

"Are you okay" I asked walking over to him.

"Nope," he replied running his hand through his hair.

"What's wrong" I said sitting him down

"There closing us down" he replied

"No! Surely they can't do that" I said shocked this is the only job I could get

"We haven't been making enough money" he said clenching his fists

"I told everyone there fired" by this point I only just realised there was nobody except me.

I decided to keep quiet I didn't know what to say. I went to stand up  to lock the front door since there was no use in letting customers in but he immediately pulled me back down.

"Ow" I said getting him off my wrist

Not even seconds later I felt his fist collide with my face causing me to fall onto the ground.

I could hear him walking over to me I couldn't see him though because my vision was all blurry it was as if somebody had put glasses on me that had finger prints all over them.

As I began to regain vision I felt his foot collide with my ribs one after another. He then pulled me up by my hair. Before slapping me and then dropping suddenly as if something caught him by surprise.

He must of forgotten that the door was unlocked for customers because he quickly ran off when he heard the door open and a customer yell.

I quickly regained myself and managed to walk over to whom ever this customer was. Luckily it was a regular. I told them that the place was shut and lead her outside. Once she was outside I locked the door scared to let anyone see me.

My ribs where killing me I felt like I was going to pass out due to all the pain. I managed to pull my self to the staff bathroom to look at the damage
I pulled up my shirt to see that my ribs where already bruising  my lip was bleeding and bruising also.

I couldn't understand why he would do that he's always been such a kind man I mean he gave me a job when nobody else would.

I can't go to the police I'm sure it was just due to stress. But this means I can't go to the hospital either.

I decide to call Ben to see if he could pick me since me and him where ment to being going out tonight.

After about half an hour I heard I knock on the front door to the restaurant. I managed to pick up all my stuff and Practically dragged myself to the door.

Once I had opened it ben looked at me with horror I couldn't even say a word before he began helping me into his car. He placed me in the back seat laying down

"I'm taking you back to my place okay" Ben said placing a blanket on me

"Yeah" I said barely even audible

"Rest for now it's a half an hour drive" ben said  shutting the door. He began driving.

I could tell he was avoiding pot holes and speed bumps because usually the roads are quite bumpy.

Once we arrived he helped me into his apartment being careful not to hurt me.  I think he gave up because he eventually just picked me up bridal style. Which not gonna lie hurt.

He walked me upstairs and placed me on the side in his bathroom. He began undressing but not fully he left me in my underwear. After he had done that he started cleaning my wounds.

"How did this happen" ben asked

"If I tell you you cannot say anything" I begged he gave me a nod to say that he agreed. "I turned up a work to see that my manger was stressed and he explained why as I went to get up something must have just snapped in him because he pulled me back and started beating me" I said starting to cry

"That basturd, come here don't cry" ben said pulling me into a hug. Even though I was still only in my under neither of us cared.

"I'm gonna go get you some clothes I'll leave them on the bed try getting a shower" ben said leaving the room

I took off the remainder of my clothes and struggled to get into the shower. I could barely even lift my arms because it hurt my ribs. I decided on something a bit stupid. I put my underwear back on as like a bikini and headed to where ben was.

"Ben?" I asked slightly embarrassed

"Yes love" he said still looking in the wardrobe

"Can you wash my hair I can't lift my arms to high without it hurting" I said looking away in embarrassment

"Sure come on" he said helping me back to the bathroom

After about fifteen minutes we where done ben helped me back to his room. He grabbed his clothes and got changed not caring that I was in the room.

"Why arnt you getting changed" he asked once he was done

" because I don't want your perverted ass staring at me" I said in a joking manner

" fine fine my perverted ass will turn around" as he said that he turned.

I quickly got out of my wet underwear and changed into one of bens baggy tops and a pair of his boxes.

"Nice arse" ben said smirking once he turned around. By this point I had only just realised he was facing a mirror.

"Wow you barely change" I said feeling even more embarrassed

"I'm joking I didn't really look at you anyway go get some sleep I'm gonna sleep on the couch" as he said that he began walking away.

"No! I don't want to be alone sleep with me" as I said that he began laughing

"Not like that you pervert" I said trying not to laugh

He agreed and laid in bed with me I snuggled up into his chest and fell asleep it felt so nice I had my bestfriend back for good
