Request- Simon Lewis

(Jessica's P.O.V)

Everything's a little hazy. It's all a bit if a blur. All I remember is... Thomas. Then a punch.

A kick.

Another punch.

Oh god. I stare down at my arms, littered with bruises. I lift my shirt sightly, and softly run my fingers over the blue-black patch on my abdomen.

What did he do?

All I remember is that he was mad about something.

I slowly but surely stand up and make my way to the shower. I freshen up and make sure to wash away any blood. I throw on casual clothes and then just sit on the sofa. I check the time on my phone.

11:00

Shit. I'm meeting Simon at 12. I have to cover the bruises.

I quickly scurry to the bathroom and drag out my makeup. I apply foundation, concealer, powder in a frenzy, desperately trying to cover them. I reach a point in which there is no further improvement, so I give up and grab a hoodie.

I rush to the cafe and sit quietly, waiting for Simon.

"Hey."
"Hi."
"How are you?"
"I'm good." I reply bluntly.
"Jess, it's clear something's wrong. You look like you want to curl into a ball and cry."

Wow he's good.

"It's nothing" I assure.
"There's something... Is it Thomas?"

My eyes go wide. How did he know?

"What did he do now?" he asks sternly.
"He didn't do anything. Can we just eat?"

He lets it go and we order and just catch up on mundane things. After a while, the heat gets too much and I remove my hoodie. As I lay the hoodie on the back if my chair, I turn back and see Simon with wide eyes.

Shit.

I frantically look down at my arms. The sweat must have removed the makeup. I quickly cross my arms and try to change the topic of conversation.

"Who-who-who did that to you?" he asks through gritted teeth.
"No-one."
"Don't lie Jessica! I can see it. Who did it? Was it him?" he interrogates.
"It was Thomas." I mumble.
"Who?"
"THOMAS! Ok! Are you happy now?!" I yell at him.

Silence.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.
"It's ok. I just don't want you getting hurt because-"
"Because?"

He sighs.

"Because I'm in love with you Jessica. And it kills me to see how badly he treated you." he blurts out.

Silence.

"I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have said-"

I interrupt his rambling with a kiss. A short but amazing kiss.

"I love you too Simon"
