"Go on to your room and get dressed. You’re going to do some work for me tonight" his voice echoes my surrounding. I nod and shut the door to my room. My heart won't stop beating and the guilt inside is eating me alive. I pick up the dress and boots Isaac left on my bed. Tonight I would be searching for one of his old friends. Keeping an eye out that their not lured in with the cops. I step into the bathroom and press the door shut. I turn the lock and fall to the floor. Sobs began running out of my face. I saw him today. Kendall… he was right in front of me. He saw me with Isaac. He looks so different, so UN desirable.  Did I cause that? I couldn’t have. It’s been a year. He's had to have moved on, hasn’t he?

                I stand up and splash water on my face. I reapply my eyeliner and the rest of my makeup. I hate this. I feel like I'm a prostitute. Isaac sends me out every Saturday night to find one of his old friends. I normally have to flirt and sometimes practically give by body to them. He wants to prove they aren’t out for him. After they've passed this test with me he contacts them. The part of me having to have sex with them I don’t understand. This is how I know Isaac doesn’t love me. If he did he wouldn’t make me do it.

                I zip up the boots and jot down the stairs. I want out of this house as fast as I can. Something grabs my arm and retrieves me back around.

"Sexy" he mumbles as he brings me closer to him. He presses his lips to my neck and begins sucking. Another bruise to add to the collection.

"Hurry home baby, save a piece of you for me" I push away and smile nodding my head as I grab my coat. I shut the door and run. I can't run away though. That would lead to a miserable death. I get to the corner and stop running only because I have to wait to cross the road.

                About five other people are standing and waiting for the light. I look across the road and notice green eyes staring at me. No, no why does he have to be here. It was hard enough seeing him earlier but I had Isaac on my arm to remind me not to say hi. He keeps his lock on me. The signal turn and people start walking. I gather in the crowd hoping he’ll lose sight of me. I can't turn back or Isaac will know. I walk past the café he was seated at with my head down. I feel accomplished when I finally get past. I turn the corner to the night club when I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Lauren" I don’t look. I know his voice anywhere.

"Go away Kendall" I jerk his hand off of me and kept walking.

"Lauren please" I closed my eyes because now I feel the tears working their way up.

"No Kendall" he stops and I keep walking. It shattered the last piece of my heart that wasn’t broken to have his touch on me then have it torn away. I make it to the entry of the club and look back to see his face. It’s even more broken then mine. I stop and turn back around. I couldn’t believe what I'm about to do but maybe, just maybe Isaac won’t find out.

                 I walk up to him and try my hardest to keep a straight face. I don’t say anything; we just look at each other for awhile. It's strange to see how much we've both changed. He makes the first move. His hand extends to touch mine and as much as I want to take it in I have to push it away. He pulls back with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry Kendall…. I just can't" my voice chokes up on me and his sadden face freezes to stone. He speaks through his teeth.

"It's him isn’t it… You left because he made you" his voice cracks on the last words. I look around and shake my head yes.

"Meet me at Wyndham Skyline Tower hotel at 11 tonight. Get a room and wait at the bar. I promise I'll explain everything."  I stick my hands in the pockets of my jacket and back away. I don’t give him time to talk. I'm supposed to be back by midnight. 11 will give me enough time to explain and travel back to the other side of the city. I start walking back to the club and I feel terrified that Isaac is going to find out. I shake the thought out my head. A stronger pain hits my chest.

                Every time I was with Kendall I felt protected, loved. Through every fight he was always on my side. The lonely I feel right now was what he used to make go away. I fight with myself in my head because it told me it would be easy listening to my heart, but my heart wants Kendall, not Isaac. It told me I'd me okay, but why am I breaking apart? I don't want to be torn but I know I already am… I have to find a way to fix it.
