*********************************** Kevin came into the room as usual in his depressed demeanor, he took a seat on my reading table, something was a bit off about him today. Was it the fact he looked more like a drunk or because he looked as if he was getting more agitated by the second?
I stood up from my bed and walked over to him, since he was acting as though I wasn't in the room.
"Kevin, I've told you to stop coming here drunk" I said as I tried to hold my breath, he smelt like a dirt bag.
"When last did you take a shower? I asked again trying to collect the bottle of alcohol from him, before I could touch it he pushed me back in self defense, I lost my balance, only being straddled by my bed.
I tried coming closer to him when he jumped down from the table and pushed me onto the mattress, he pinned me down before I could think of an escape route, I tried screaming but he placed his dirty hand over my mouth, I did the first thing that came to mind I bit his hand and kicked him in the shin but he didn't budge, I only had minimal effect on him, his hand was bleeding and at the sight of his blood seeping out, he punched me in the face.
" you bitch... Look what you did to me " he said in a sloppy tone since he was still intoxicated and seemingly on drugs.
And that was when he ripped my shirt from my body leaving me exposed in only a bra and a pair of jeans ,he took a piece of fabric of my torn tee and tied it across my mouth.

I woke up sweating all over and tears welled up in my eyes that fell effortlessly, I looked back at the nightmare, Kevin was my first boyfriend, I loved him so much that I was blinded by it and I never realized he was no good until that night that he almost raped me, he was about to when Phoebe stepped in and apparently saved the day.
I hopped off the bed and made my way to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, I decided to go out for a jog considering it was barely 6am.
So I wore a tank top and a pair of loose sweat pants, did my hair into a messy bun and I was out.
As I stepped out of the house, I was enveloped by a cool breeze, I was tempted to go back in but - no.
So I started my jog in a random direction, I saw other people who were jogging along the same route as me, they were all friendly people, I made small talk with them before I turned about to return home.
I reached home to see it was just 7, meaning I was just out for an hour, I took a shower and got dressed for the day.
I went to the kitchen to make breakfast for both of us considering the fact my aunt would be getting ready for work.
She worked in a company where they produce bottled water and Soda.
So that explains why we always have a stocked fridge with different drinkable substances.
So I prepared scotched eggs for breakfast, it looked mouth watering, I couldn't pass this opportunity to take a picture of my masterpiece so I set my plate and took a picture of my scrumptious meal.

' I'll show this to Phoebe later,' I thought to myself as I heard my aunt's heels heading towards the dining room.
"Good morning aunt" I said as I sat to eat my award winning breakfast,
"Good morning dear, I couldn't help but hurry to breakfast, the aroma is just irresistible" she said plopping herself on the chair opposite mine, I blushed at her comment.
"And it tastes just as good" she added after taking two spoons into her mouth.
"Thanks aunt, I learnt from the best" I said as my mind drifted off to my mom, its been long since I spoke to her, I missed her but I couldn't bring myself to talking to her since my dad and her got divorced, things got hard for everyone.
"You can always talk to me, y'know" aunt Stacy said as she had stopped eating and her gaze was fixed intently on me. She knew I was having a hard time, ever since the incident.
"I know" I said as I cleared the plates and took them to the kitchen.
She followed me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"You're not going to stay home all day, I'll drop you off at the café,"
I nodded after cleaning the dishes I had washed.
********************************* Unknown's POV
"Come on Cath, is she coming here" I asked Cath for like the thirteenth time today, she was clearly tired of my pestering but I couldn't care less, I really needed to see Ivy.
Speak of the devil and he appears, but in this case, its an angel, Ivy walked into the cafe dressed in a long sleeved white crop top and a pair of blue jeans.
She looked around the café and her eyes landed on Catherine and then she walked over to us. I felt my heart pump hard, I wondered if she was still angry about yesterday, with every step she took I felt light headed.
"Cath, I missed you" she said hugging Cath.
"You sure bout that? Are you certain its not the WiFi..." Cath said lacing laughter in her words
"Maybe you're right... I definitely don't miss you anymore" she said turning to her side before seeing me.
I felt my world pause as we stared at each other, I didn't even know what to say.
Before I knew what was happening, I saw her drag Cath to a corner.
********************************** Ivy's POV
"Ivy, what was that for?" Cath asked as we had come to a stop,
"You know that guy?" I blurted out ignoring her question
"Yeah-" she said as I interrupted her and told her about what happened yesterday, Cath couldn't stop laughing.
"Cath!!"
"Ivy, he's a nice guy, you both just started off on a wrong note" Cath reassured me.
So we went back to where the dark haired boy sat, Catherine cleared her throat.
"Well lemme do a formal introduction for both of you" she said as she stood with me.
"Ivy,this is ...."
