Comfort | A Lippa story

Chapter 1: Unhealthy

*Pippa's POV*

(A/N hewo welcome to this thing I call a book. I hope you enjoy and please don't be shy when it comes to feedback :)

It's 6:32 p.m. when Steven gets home from work and Pippa is already making dinner.

"Hey sweetheart! How was your day?"

"How did it look?" he looked up at her with anger and disgust on his face.

Steven is never really in a good mood when coming home from work but Pippa always thinks she can change that everyday and it never works. But she is optimistic and decides to keep trying.

Still with a smile on her face she tries, "Well do you want dinner, I just finished making it."

She asked but her question wasn't answered. He finally replied in an impatient tone, "Well why isn't it in front me already!" She hurriedly rushed over to almost tripping over his bag in the way. Luckily, Steven didn't see this because if he did, he would be angrier.

She tried to make small talk and talk about his day but he would always give her half-assed answers or not answer at all indicating he didn't want to talk so she stayed silent. When she was starting to grow tired she told Steven.

"Babe I'm tired I'm gonna go to sleep, ok." He looked at her confused. "Soooo.....you expect me to clean the dishes?!?!" "Babe I'm tired I don't have the energy to do it right now. I can do them tomorrow." She said in hopes he would comply. But of course, he did the opposite.He grew angry and Pippa then knew she went to far.

*language warning*

"YOU MAKE ME DO EVERY GODDAMN THING IN THE FUCKING HOUSE. I DO EVERYTHING WHILE YOU SIT ON YOUR ASS AND GET FAT. THATS WHY YOU LOOK THAT FUCKING WAY NOW BECAUSE YOU DO FUCKING NOTHING ALL DAY."

He started to approach Pippa. She tried to back away so he wasn't too close, but it was too late. Once he was eye to eye with Pippa, he raised his hand and slapped her. Pippa tried to regain her balance while holding her cheek crying. As she cried, it only hurt more because as tears ran down her face, they would touch the now formed bruise and that would only burn more.

Pippa's back was facing the direction of the bedroom so when Steven started to walked away he slammed right into her shoulder causing her to lose all of her balance. She fell to the floor holding her shoulder in pain and crying. Steven continued to walk.

"Oh and when your done being dramatic, try and finshied the dishes luv. Thanks." And with that the bedroom door closed.

Pippa decided to carry out the task while still in pain because trying to fight wasn't worth it. When she finished, she debated on whether to sleep in the room or on the couch. She decided the couch was best because when she went to the bedroom to check, Steven had taken all the room on the bed.

Sleeping on the couch was quite frequent for Phillipa Soo so she already had everything she needed. She lay on the couch crying herself to sleep. "SHUT UP!" was the last thing she heard before drifting on to sleep. She slept tear stains all on her face while Steven slept peacefully with a smile on his.

*Hi! So I do love Steven and this is not meant to throw any shade in anyway. I just feel this would be the best in pippas character development path. Just a little extra info, Hamilton already started. Also sorry if it turned out weird, I have it in pages mode so yee. That's it PEACE ;). *
