Chapter Twenty Three
⚠️ TW: Graphic Scenes ⚠️
No matter how hard I tried falling asleep I just laid there the entire time.
The only thing I could hear was the rapid heartbeat of mine as I tried to digest the fact that I put my own girlfriend in danger and I inflicted pain on her for something that I truly didn't want to do.
When she was telling me what happened I didn't believe it one bit. She wouldn't be crying that hard if those guys just touched her.
It may have been a small thing but for somebody to touch her like that, made her feel weak, and to take advantage of her like that crushed my fucking heart.
If someone knew who she was then that meant they were fucking stalking her not just for a while but for four fucking years.
When I saw the state she was in the shower I couldn't help but feel bad for her. Each drop of tear that fell stung my heart only fueling the fire that burned inside of me.
Every breath of air she took from crying, it violated me, adding more poison to the fire inside of me. Unknowingly dawning on it, my fists began to clench as my jaw rooted.
Seeing how much she grew mentally these past years couldn't make me less proud of her. She took initiative in trying to fit into my world and for that, all I could do was appreciate ever fiber in her body.
From that accident that happened that day, she made sure she was never dependent on anyone and yet we're almost back at square one because of me, the one that was always supposed to protect her.
The way she wrapped her arm around my waist, her touch is what felt like a little touch of heaven.
I wanted to protect her at all costs but in order to do that I had to do this for her but most importantly me, I wish I could stop time just so I could stay close to her, since she was my safe place.
Her touch calmed the burning fire roaring inside of me but thinking what happened tonight ignited it once again. Every night her peaceful smile, her touch, her embrace gives me hope for our future, but those fucking idiots made me loose hope.
Slowly removing her hand and tucking the blanket once again to her small frame I got up turning on the lights to our closet as I changed from my boxers to a neatly folded black and white complementing the small details making it a unique suit.
. . .
"Hello?"
"Get your ass to Toxic-"
"Adriano what the fuck, it's three-"
"It's about Sky, she's not telling me what the fuck actually happened because by the time I came home from the warehouse, she was passed out in a car."
"Okay I'll be there in ten."
