chapt. 02/02

i wake up to the feeling of a hand on my shoulder, i automatically roll away, my body against the wall & my back facing the person, bracing for a punch or kick but i hear coopers voice not his- austin's, instead of his gruff hard voice i hear coopers soft voice made of honey. i turn my head & i see him, sitting on the bed with a crazy amount of bed head & light rosey cheeks, i sit up facing him when i finally hear what he says,

"what do want to eat?" he questions & i look away unsure if i should actually answer or just wait for him to choose like i would normally with austin; living with an extremely controlling boyfriend you learn to never voice your opinions, i know realisticly cooper won't hurt me but the fear of the "what if" makes me choose the later & i just shrug. he sighs softly,

"okay, pancakes or waffles?" he asks & i bite my lip still unsure, he waits a moment then adds, "trav, you can answer, i won't be mad at either option. i'm okay with both i just want your opinion." he says & i think a moment, weighing the risks then take a deep breath & answer,

"waffels sound pretty good." i whisper looking at the mattress, worried i choose the wrong one, subconsciously preparing for yells.

"waffels it is!" & i can practically hear the smile in his voice. i look up as he leaves the bed excitedly & i wait a moment then decide it's best i help him, knowing the amount of kitchen skills he has it might burst to flame if he goes by himself. i reach the kitchen to see cooper with the waffle maker out & staring inside the fridge like it might talk to him & tell him how to make waffels, i walk up next to him & put a hand on his arm,

"i know how to make them & i don't mind doing....most of it." i say & he sighs, relief now on his face,

"thank fuck! travis, you are a god among men." he says & i just laugh,

"it's not hard to do." i say softly & laugh as i grab the ingredients then a large bowl, he sits at the lunch bar deciding it's better to just watch then to help.

20 minutes later i put the last waffle on the plate & i hear both carson & noah walk down the stairs & i work on pushing away the fear that can't help but encase my mind. the breakfast was really great, everyone gave me compliments even though the waffles weren't even that good in my opinion. after we're done carson decides we are watching avatar the last airbender once he realizes none of us have.

but a hour into watching the tv show a heavy hard knock at the door goes through the house followed by a familiar deep angry yells & i freeze knowing who it will be, it was a matter of time before austin found where i was hiding. cooper turns towards me, worried, noticing my reaction & goes to stop carson from answering it but it's to late.

time stands still as i watch the door open & i see my boyfr- ex-boyfriend, austin, angrier then ever now screaming at carson or at me but i can't hear him, i can't hear anything but ringing in my ears & my heart beating extremely loud, my vision is foggy, my hands are in my hair pulling trying to calm myself down, & i can't stop hyperventilating. i feel hands on my body which stresses me out more & makes me get up from the couch & run away but quickly i feel something hard hit my body & hold me down. i start screaming for help, to be let go, anything, i just want all this to stop- i want to be able to breath again, i want to be able to run away. i hear more loud voices which makes me try even harder to escape but soon they stop & the thing- person, that held me let's go. i run away into the closest room i can find.
