Life has been miserable for the past four days. I've been avoiding both my papá and Carlos. I've had my phone off all these days to avoid Carlos's calls and texts and I'm so glad he never came to my house to look for me. I've been communicating with Kells via the house telephone, back to the old ways, huh.

As for my papá it's been so hard avoiding him, we basically live under the same roof. I have to sneak out of the house everytime I leave for school or to meet up with Kells and sneak right back in during the hours I know he'll be busy. I know his schedule like the back of my hand. And when he's busy he gets really busy. He works from home but occasionally goes on business trips from time to time.

After successfully closing my bedroom door gently making sure to not make noise I jump on my bed face down and groan. Gosh, I'm exhausted. School has been a bitch this week. I'm so glad I only have classes Mondays to Thursdays. Which means I'll be home the whole day tomorrow stuck in this room or in my studio. I have a studio, thanks to papá, where I paint. This was a gift from him when I was fifteen after he discovered my love for art and how much I love painting, this being the reason why I'm majoring in arts. And I'm so grateful papá didn't make a big deal out of it and supported me wholeheartedly and for that I'll forever love him so much. Maybe a little less after the marriage stunt he pulled on me. I still think he doesn't deserve love from me but whatever.

I woke up from a movement in my room. I'm a not a light sleeper so this is new. I rub my eyes and sit on my bed to scan the room and my eyes nearly bulge out their sockets.

Sitting comfortably across my bed on my beanie is hot choker dude. Looking so fuckable right now.

Get it together, girl. He's in your room and we don't know how long he's been watching you sleep.

I open my mouth to scream.
"Don't." He threatens I ignore him and scream loud which makes him jump from the beanie to me in less than a second. He grabs my cheeks harshly squeezing them so hard that I wince from the pain.

"I warned you not to."
"Pweese... Hur...hurss."
He lets go of my face. I feel my eyes starting to sting. Does he have to be so rough?

"Please, don't hurt me. I swear I didn't tell anyone about you-about the other day." I say to him in full panic mode.
"Don't lie to me, Beauty. You will not like what I will do to y-"
He gets interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Allison, ¿estás bien?" Matilda asks. (Allison, are you okay?)
"Make her go away and don't say anything stupid." Hot choker dude says and I nod my head.
I walk towards the door not opening it afraid she'll see choker dude in my room.

"Sí, todo esta bien. I just saw something on Instagram that was exciting." I tell her. (Yes, everything is fine.)

"Okay, but screaming is not the way to hide from your father."
"Right. Sorry." I wait at the door until her I hear the sound of her footsteps fade.

Now I have to deal with this dumb fuck. I internally groan. I turn around to face him.

"Come here." He commands and I shake my head afraid of what he'll do to me. I see him clench his jaw and ball his hands into fists. He definitely has anger issues. I cannot deal with that.
Before all of this I wanted a boyfriend with anger issues where I'll be the one to calm him down, you know like in the movies and novels but shit, this is intense and I think I've changed my mind. Reality is that it's so much more scarier in real life. I mean look at me right now, I'm so close to shitting in my pants just from the look he's giving me. He's obviously not my boyfriend but I'm scared regardless.
