Katana's Revenge

What Goes Around...Comes Around

Song: Fix you by Cold Play

"I left you a note. I told you I would be back. I was out of makeup and needed more." I point to my face to show off my newest bruise.

"God...baby, I'm sorry. I just lose it sometimes."

"Yeah, well it's getting worse. You need therapy babe. I'm tired of being your punching bag."

"I'm sorry...it won't happen again."

I totally disagree because I know if it happened already more than once, it's for sure going to happen again. "That is what you said the last time and the time before that."

He walks up closer to me and wraps his arms around me. "I promise it won't happen again."

I let him kiss me. I know he really doesn't mean to hurt me. I know he loves me but I can't do this anymore. "I have to get ready for work; I'm going to be late."

"Call in sick...stay with me."

"I would but we really need the money, rent is due next week along with a few other bills. I can't just not go to work."

"Fine," he as says a little disappointed.

When I get to work Harold already knows about the other job I was offered. I can tell by the way he looks at me. "So he told you; I didn't say yes yet."

"But you will," he sighs. "You deserve a better job. I understand and I will be fine."

"But I haven't said yes...Harold."

"No need. Look just help me out tonight alright. Thanks for being a really good employee you are one of the good ones."

"Harold!"

He hands me a plate of food and shoo's me away. "Go on now...get out there."

I finish up my shift and when I get out to my car there is one single rose attached to my windshield wipers, with a little note that says, "I won't let you down."

I don't plan on saying anything to Raine about the new job and I leave the rose in my car. It is late when I get in and he is gone. It's a Saturday and I know he doesn't work tonight, so I assume he is off with his friends which is fine at least I can go to bed and actually get some sleep. About three in the morning he comes in and slides in beside me in the bed to hug me up. He soon passes out and leaves me alone for the night. I know he has been drinking from the reek smell of stale beer on his breath.

The past few days go on as normal. I go to school then get ready for the new job that so far is going better than I thought it would. When I get home he is on his way out to work so we barely have time to say hi to each other. The bruise has faded a lot but still noticeable. Everyone at the new place looks over it. I assume Mr. Moretti has said something to everyone because no one even bothers looking at it. The good thing is I am in the kitchen and I don't have to face any of the customers that come in.

I have been French braiding my hair and I feel weird not wearing my bracelets but the long sleeves seem to help, except for the fact that it is really hot up in the kitchen section. I don't bother wearing any other jewelry either.

I been here for almost a week and it's actually not that bad. I am learning so much from the main Chef, actually I feel like even more than I am at the school with all my professors. The environment here is also amazingly calm even during the busiest times. I'm in the back part when I hear a commotion in the front of the house. I hear yelling and look up when the door slings opens up to see Raine glaring at me.

"What the fuck? You start a new job and don't even tell me. Harold said you quit days ago; when the hell were you going to tell me."

I look around to everyone working in the kitchen, oh my god I have never felt so freaking embarrassed. Seriously he doesn't have to show his shit here. "I...I..." I don't get out anything else because four guys are pulling him out of the kitchen and to the back door into the alley way.
