Just Two Girls Against The World ✔

Forgive

Paris's Pov

At work I tried my best to avoid everyone including Me. Cross, and especially Fiona. Its not her fault but I just don't wanna talk to her or anyone else for awhile unless its work related.

Lunch time came around and they invited me to eat with them in the lounge but I declined and locked myself in my office eating just an apple with some water.

I finish up as there's a knock at my door. I open it to reveal Fiona.

"Can we talk?" She asked.

"I'm sorry I can't speak to you at the moment." I respond.

"You are acting so immature, I had no clue you to had a past relationship and its not my fault he cheated on you. I came here to apologize and help you out and tell you that I choose you over him but you are starting to push my buttons." She says, trying to remain calm but I can tell shea fuming.

"Fine." I let her in. I sit at my desk as she closes the door and comes over by me.

"I know what its like to go through something like this. I had plenty of guys cheating on me. But I learned to control my emotions and my desperate need to always have a man because I thought I was nothing without one."

I look up at her. But she isn't looking at me, she's watching the world outside the window as she speaks. I can't tell shes trying to hide her tears.

"I was emotionally unstable.." She continues. "I wanted happiness and I thought only a man could give that to me. But they each broke my heart for the same reasons over and over. They all wanted a pretty girl, nice body, and just sex all the time. I wasn't pretty, I didn't have the curves and the big boobs and butt they craved. And I didn't want to have sex all the time. I wanted to go out and see the world with my significant other, go on dates."

"But they never wanted that. I didn't want what they wanted, but I did what they asked just to keep them, but no matter how hard I tried they all left. One day I had enough. I tried to kill myself. I woke up in the hospital. Got a therapist. Recovered slowly. It took a while but I finally went to college. Got a house with furniture and food. Did it all on my own. I knew right then and there that didn't need a man. I was successful on my own. I can protect my self."

She finally looks over at me.

"And you don't need one either. Paris you are gorgeous, and I may not know you that well but you are one amazing, bad ass bitch. Own it."

I smile and wipe away tears I didn't even know came out.

She gave me a hug and whispered in my ear. "And if you ever need some one to talk to, I'll be right there. Just call me, text me, facetime me. I may not be London but I am sure as hell going to treat you as a better friend. And I promise you that."

She pulls away and smiles at me before leaving.

I let everything she told me sink in. I smile once more before I get up to go to talk to Mr. Cross but I run into Aaron in the hallway.

My face instantly drops.

He clears his throat.

"Can I talk to you?"

"No." I try to push past him but he grabs me and spins me around way to fast and I fall onto the ground.

"Oh shit, I'm sorr-" He begins.

Mr.cross grabs him and slams him onto the wall.

"Don't you ever lay your hands on a female. Especially not in my building. This is your only chance and I suggest you take it and walk away now." He says as he let's go of Aaron. He quickly speeds away.
