My Blue Angel

Chapter 2~Work

Cassie's POV

  I woke up in the middle of the night, I had a nightmare, I was breathing heavily and sweating. I sat up, and looked around, it was dark and I was scared at first, but Spencer was laying on my lap and he calmed me down. "Oh god." I mumbled, laying back down. Spencer gave me a little whine and layed his head on my stomach.

   I let out a tired sigh and pet Spencer's head as I slowly fell back asleep. I had another nightmare the same night about Matthew, my now ex, he was very abusive, and I was terrified to speak to him everyday day, he always kicked me in the stomach so my bruises wouldn't be seen.

  When I woke up Spencer was barking, and I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I let out a scream and sat up moving to the end of the couch and hiding behind the end. "Cassie! Cassie! It's okay, it's me Ethan, your safe." Ethan said turning on the lights. I calmed my breathing and saw him.

  I let out a sigh of relief and he bent down in front of me. He had a black hoodie on with black sweatpants. I grabbed onto him and cried into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close, rubbing my back as he comforted me.

  "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." I sobbed into his chest. "No it's okay, I was worried I didn't know what was happening." He said, "W-What time is it?" I asked, "6:30." I let out a sigh, still crying a little into his chest.

  I let go of him and he put his hand on my shoulder keeping me up right. "I should get ready anyway." I said, he nodded, "Probably, what are you going to wear?" He asked, my eyes widened and I groaned.

  "C-Could I barrow some clothes from you?" I asked, he stiffened up a little but nodded. "Yeah, come on." He said helping me up, he walked me up the stairs and to his room. "I need a shirt and sweatpants, please." I said. He nodded and grabbed me one of his yellow shirts and a pair of black sweatpants.

  "The bathroom is the last door on the right." He said, I nodded and walked out of his room and to the bathroom, I got into the bathroom and changed into the clothes he gave me. I tucked the shirt in and tied the pants so they wouldn't fall off of me.

  I walked out of the bathroom to see Ethan wearing a black and white shirt with black pants. "Do those work?" He asked. I nodded, the pants hung lose around my waist. "U-Um, thank you." I said shortly after, he smiled and nodded.

  "After you m'lady." He said in a funny voice, he made me laugh. "Your funny." I said shaking my head and walking down first. Spencer wagged his tail and hopped off the couch. "Hi Spence." Ethan said in a baby voice, Spencer jumped up, wanting Ethan to pet him.

  "Oh yes." He said giving Spencer pets. "Hey Ethan?" I asked, he looked up at me with a smile. "Cassie?" He asked back, "Do you have a nickname I can call you?" I asked, he thought for a second. "Well my friends call me E or Eef." He said, "So I can call you one?" I asked back.

  He smiled and nodded, still petting Spencer. "I'll call you Eef." I said with a smile. He smiled back, "I suppose you need my number, I can pick you up when your done with work." He said with a sweet voice. "Yeah okay. Um mine is 987-574-2306." I said, Ethan was copying my number into his phone, and he texted me to make sure it was right.

  "Wowie is this the right number?" He texted, "Yes this is the right number." I said out loud, "Cool beans." He said, I looked at the time and it was time to get to work. "It's time for us to go." I said, he nodded and showed me how to get to the car. We went out the garage and got in his tesla.

  "Oh wait what about your bruise?" He asked as we were pulling out of the garage. I pulled out my concealer. "I sadly never leave without this." I said, removing my glasses. He let out a sad hum as I began to cover my bruise. When it was covered up I put my glasses back on and he continued to drive.
