Second Chances

Chapter 20-missed touch

MATURITY PLEASE——————————

———————————
Ja<"your a fucking bitch. That's what you are! Your disgusting, your pathetic, your worthless, and a waste of my fucking time"!(he spit at her, looking down as she trembled on the floor, her mouth bleeding from how hard he slammed his fist into face)

(She didn't even have the strength to fight him off when he sat on her, his hands wrapping around her throat tightly, her hands clawing at his arms, only causing him to squeeze harder)

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up
————————————

(She gasped and jumped up from her bed, her hands grasping at her throat as she coughed for air. It felt so surreal. Like his hands were actually around her throat and like he was actually sitting on her, crushing her broken ribs)

(She closed her eyes and breathed in, her mouth dry from struggling to breathe from the nightmare)

(She opened her eyes and turned her head to the side. She missed him. His touch. The way he kissed her goodnight and good morning. It's only been a day, but she dreaded going to sleep every night because he wasn't there. It's her fault. She left. They didn't break up. At least that's what she thinks, but she left. They weren't even living together though)

(Erin shook her head and then pushed herself off the bed, making her way to the door and opening it, walking into the kitchen and grabbing a red solo cup before filling it with cold water from the fridge)

K<"couldn't sleep"?

(Erin gasped and turned her head, almost dropping her cup of water from the sudden approach)

E<"yeah I guess. Sorry if I woke you"(she whispered, not wanting to wake Adam up)

K<"you didn't,(she walked up the counter and took a seat on one of the stools),you okay"?

E<"yeah"(she whispered, slowly sipping from her cup)

K<"don't lie,(she sighed, watching the hesitation in her eyes),you miss him don't you?(erin nodded and gently placed the cup on the counter, looking at Kim as if she was asking what to do),then go to him"

E<"please...(she laughed),he won't let me back in"

K<"are you sure about that, cause our texts say otherwise...can you tell her I miss her, how's she doing, can you tell her that I miss her"(she mimicked in a guys voice)

E<"he's just being concerned"

K<"yeah about the person he loves,(she pouted),Erin you need to stop being so detrimental towards yourself. If you miss him, if you want him....go get him,(she pushed herself off the stool and walked towards her),don't waste a second, because you never know the possibilities that will come when you let those huge walls you built up, down,(she brought her hands up to her shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze),and when you do go to him...you better make sure to let me know how it goes"(she winked, and then pulled away, turning around and making herself back towards hers and Adams bedroom, leaving Erin alone in the kitchen to think of how she was going to approach him)

(She used one of the rags to wipe down the counter, waiting patiently for the old couple to order their drinks. The door bell rang to the entrance of the bar, causing her to raise her head up and look, sighing when she didn't see him. She knew He was still working. She even texted him and asked for him to stay safe, smiling at his response, of course, with a red heart. Their favorite emoji)
