(^this is what Shes wearing^)

"Darlene! Come on, we're going to be late, hurry up" Matthew yelled from downstairs, I rolled my eyes and tied the last of my heel, I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror, wow I looked good. I walked out my door and down the stairs my heels clicking on the wooden stairs making Matthew look up at me, as soon as his eyes locked into what I was wearing he looked furious "no, definitely not" he said shaking his head rapidly making me frown my eyebrows as I made my way in front of him "go back upstairs and change, now" he said pointing his finger to the stairs behind me "why?" I asked shifting my weight to my left leg "because you look like a fucking stripper, I told you not to wear anything revealing" he said making me chuckle, I stood there waiting for him to open the door, he didn't actually think I was going to change, did he? He raised his eyebrows at me and shrugged waiting for me to go upstairs and change, I rolled my eyes and groaned turning around and walking away  "wait, there's no time, come on" he sighed opening the door, I smiled and walked out the door ahead of him but then I felt his hand wrap itself around the top of my arm making me stumble back "I don't think so" he chuckled shaking his head pulling me back so he could lock the door. He kept a tight grip on my arm as we went to the elevator "do you mind?" I spat pulling my arm away from him, he glared at me then looked back at the elevator doors "do we have to go in this thing?" I asked looking at his side profile which may I add was very nice to look at, his jaw was sharp I swear if you touched it would cut you, his nose was small but it fit his face perfectly, his lips were just the right size to, he was just so handsome. "yes, and stop checking me out, it's creepy" he said still looking straight ahead, I snapped my head to the front mentally hitting myself for checking him out when I really shouldn't be "I wasn't" I shook my head as the elevator dinged and the doors opened "sure" he said lowly into my ear while he walked passed and grabbed my ass on the way passed, I jumped at his action and gasped slightly making him chuckle at me, I stood outside of the doors as he faced me he pressed the button making my heart speed up, he leaned on the railing folding his hands in front of him while he looked at me with an amused look on his face "hurry up and get in before your dream does come true" he said making me go into panic mode, I hesitated but walked fast into the elevator as I held my breath, as soon as I got in the doors shut and it started moving "why the fuck would you do that?" I raised my voice angrily at him as I hit his arm, he looked at me and laughed slightly while holding his bicep making a small 'ow' noise, I was taken back by his smile, for the week I've stayed here I've never seen him smile or laugh like that which was refreshing to know he's an actual human that laughs and smiles to which for a small period of time I thought he didn't, I really wish I could say I'm not attracted to Matthew but if I did I'd be lying, I've tried to contain it but I can't, he's just so beautiful, but it's a shame he's a monster. I snapped out of my daze and looked ahead still feeling a little shaky from the whole elevator thing "chill out darling, it was a joke" he chuckled putting his arms to his side and also looking ahead "plus, I wouldn't of let the doors shut on you anyways" he said softly I turned my head to look up him then looked back at my hands, I took a deep breath and cleared my throat trying to get rid of the butterflies that were uninvited in my stomach. We walked out of the elevator and made our way into the club which had loud music and smelled like sweaty people and alcohol "stay close to me, don't talk to anyone and don't wonder off" he said into my ear putting his hand lightly on the small of my back "understand?" He asked looking ahead pushing threw the people that were dancing, I nodded my head and walked in the direction he was taking me. We reached a table filled with men and when I say all of them where hot I mean it which only made my nerves worse "ah, Matthew there you are" one of them said smiling up at Matthew from his seat at the booth, Matthew gave him a nod and a tight lipped smile as I stood there not knowing what to do, Matthew started to talk to the guys so I took a step back from him looking around the club with my arms crossed over my chest, his back was facing me and he was leaning over the table talking to his friends, I'm guessing their in the gang to "well hello sexy" I heard someone say as they put one of their arms around my waist and squeezed it, I looked to the side of me to see Eleanor and maya looking stunning as ever "heyy" I smiled pulling them into a hug, the commotion from us made the guys stop what they were talking about and look at the three of us making my nerves surface again "who's this?" I heard one of them say, I looked up from the floor and seen that all five of the men were staring at me, the one who said it was a black guy, he absolutely gorgeous and he had huge muscles, I cleared my throat nervously and took a step forward so I was in front of the table "I'm Darlene evens, it's nice to meet you" I said holding my hand out for the guy to shake "shemar, nice to meet you" he nodded with a smile, I looked beside me at Matthew who didn't look to pleased with me introducing myself because he had told me not to talk to anyone, I didn't know that stood for his friends to "people call her cherry, isn't that so cute" maya said excitedly grabbing onto my arm as Eleanor went and sat next to one of the guys in the booth "why?" The one el was sitting with asked "my mother is french, I get called darling sometimes because it sounds like my name and darling in french is Cheri which sounds like cherry so it stuck I guess" I chuckled nervously playing with my hands "that is cute" I heard a lower voice say making me look to where it came from, a guys with black hair that was sitting in the booth next to where Matthew was standing, he had a glass of whiskey in his hand and incredible piercing blue eyes, blushed at him and giving him a small smile "okay, Darlene go sit down" Matthew motioned for me to sit in the booth so I did, it was Matthew shemar maya then me then Eleanor, she was sitting with a guy who I'm pretty sure was her Fiancé then there was the three other guys "oh! Cherry this is liam and Louis, me and el's Fiancé" maya smiled motioning to the two guys that where at the right of me "nice to meet you both" I smiled shaking their hands "nice to meet you to cherry" Liam smiled they seemed really nice which eased my nerves a lot "this is Mitch rapp and that next to him is Damon salvation" Liam pointed to the two handsome men in front of me "nice to meet you" I smiled leaning over the table slightly to shake mitch's hand, he shook it with a smile then it was Damon's turn, he held my hand lightly and placed a kiss on top of it "it's a pleasure metting you Darlene" he smirked making me blush more than he did when he first talked, I sat back down and looked at Matthew who was glaring at Damon who didn't give a shit he just chuckled at Matthew and downed the rest of his whiskey "I love your hair cherry, it's really nice" Eleanor said leaning in a little "thank you so much" I gave her a smile that showed my teeth and turned to her slightly "it took ages to do but it was worth it" I chuckled moving it to the front so she could see it better "Darlene, what is that?" Maya asked with frowned eyebrows I looked back at her confused "what's what?" I asked looking at her concerned facial expression, she wasn't talking about the hickeys because Matthew didn't leave any earlier, she traced her fingers to my shoulder down to the bit of my back that was exposed as she did that I could feel everyone's eyes on me making me gulp nervously, Eleanor moved my shoulder so she could see to "there's bruises and scratch marks on your back, are you okay?" Eleanor asked kinda frantically, I looked around everyone at the table and they were looking at Matthew who had his head done "I- yeah, I fell downstairs, one thing you should know about me is that I'm very clumsy" I chuckled trying to get them to buy it but I don't think they did, that was indeed a lie I'm the total opposite of clumsy I hardly ever drop anything, I'm good with my hands, no pun intended, shemar was the one glaring at the side of Matthews head til he looked at me with a sympathetic look catching me off guard "that looks like it hurts, are you sure your alright?" He asked leaning forward a bit with his two hands on his knees "yeah, I'm fi-" I was cut off by another voice "she's fine, jeez, she's not gonna fall apart" Matthew said annoyed making me slouch in my seat. It was a few minutes later and it was going good but what would make it better is a vodka and coke, as on cue a waitress came over with a tray filled with drinks "on the house" she said before walking away, I went to grab a drink but Matthew grabbed my wrist tightly, I looked up at him to see him staring at me "I don't think so" he shook his head I pulled my hand away and stood up "excuse me" I said getting past everyone at the table "where are you going?" Matthew raised his voice at me "anywhere away from you"
I spat turning around and walking away from him, I could hear him calling my name but I didn't care I was walking out of this place, not actually fully out of the place but just out the club, I had noticed when I came down that there were security guards with big guns at the door so that's a no go. I walked out the doors but was yanked back by my wrist making my bump into something hard, I looked up to be met with Matthews furious dark eyes "get off of me" I pulled my arm but he never let me go he just tightened his grip more making me wince, he motioned for the security to go which didn't mean anything good "I told you not to walk away from me and not to talk to anyone, but you just love to make things difficult, huh?" He said through gritted teeth "fuck you" I said inches away from his face through my teary eyes, he lifted his hand and slapped me making me drop to the floor and hold my cheek in my hand, i sobbed as the stinging got worse "the next time I tell you to do something, do it and it'll be easier for you" he said crouching down in front of me, I didn't dare look at him "get up, we're going home" he stood up fixing his shirt in his dress pants "I'm not going anywhere with you" I said letting more tears escape my eyes, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me "get the fuck up!" he yelled I was now on my feet but I was pulling away "no!" I screamed pulling at my own arm, I swear if I pulled any harder it would come off like sally from the nightmare Before Christmas, he groaned and shoved me back into the wall knocking the wind out of me a bit and making me hit my head, he grabbed my jaw tightly as he stared at me, I shut my eyes closed so I didn't have to look at him "stop, please stop" I sobbed shaking my head "oh baby, I'm not gonna stop" he chuckled shaking his head moving my hair out of my face, I looked up at him through my teary eyes wondering what he was going to do next, he moved his hand closer to my face making me flinch, he put his hand on my cheek and put his thumb under my eye to get rid of my tears, he tilted his head at me with his thumb rubbing my cheekbone softly "you still look so pretty when you cry" he said with amusement and a small smile on his face, I wanted to hit him and tell him how much of a freak he was but i could only feel my face soften and the butterflies in my stomach appear again as he said it, I couldn't help but take it as a compliment, I leaned into his hand and sniffled closing my eyes, he put his other hand on my other cheek and leaned forward planting a long kiss on my forehead "why don't we get you upstairs" he whispered I looked up at him and nodded, he walked away and nodded towards the elevator making me follow behind him. It was silent all the way up to the apartment, I wanted to talk to him but I just didn't know what to say, I hated him but I couldn't help but fall into his warmth whenever he touched me, it's only been a week but it feels like longer. I took off my heels and walked over to the couch sitting down putting my shoes on the carpet next to me, Matthew took his shoes off and lied down on the couch going on his phone and I couldn't help but notice the bright odd socks he had on, it confused me but also intrigued me, I made a mental note to ask him what the socks were about when he was in a Better mood, I was tired from all the crying so I grabbed one of the black pillows and lay down curling up in a ball in the corner of the couch "don't get makeup on my couch" he said rudely making me sigh, I'm exhausted getting treated like this, I just want to wake up already and realise it was all a horrible dream, but that's not gonna happen, it's not a dream, I'm living it and I'm going to be till the day I die, if he doesn't kill me before then that is. I felt myself get more and more tired and skink more into the couch as I fell into a deep slumber soon wishing I didn't as the horrible memories of that night came flooding back after all these years.
