Thursday came too fast. The past six days were a blur. There's little I remember. When I try to recall what was I doing it's like looking through a fog. I still haven't forgave him. No, not a chance. Things he did to me? He had a lot of begging to do. I won't let him go without punishment. He has to suffer just as much as I did. For the first time in my life I go and trust someone who isn't my family and where did that got me? But I can't blame him for everything. It was my stupid mistake to go and trust him. For that I had only myself to blame. I should've known better. What is the greatest lesson I learned through my teenage years? You have only yourself to trust and rely on. And I was a fucking fool to trust Arian. That was a mistake I won't make again. In time I may forgive him, but to trust him again? I don't think that's possible. And maybe, just maybe that's for the best.
It was two minutes till eight when I parked inside of my garage. When I locked the car and walked to the elevator I had one minute left. The ride up lasted fifty seconds and the other ten I spent to compose myself and so I came precisely on time. 8:00 a.m.
The elevator door opened and I came face to face with Arian who was a few feet away. I stared at him and everything from that night came rushing back. I closed my eyes to push those images away and when I reopened them he was mere inches away. I looked him dead in the eyes and made sure he saw nothing of the tremor I felt inside. I walked pass Arian and murmured my hellos to others and walked to my study.
Just seconds after there was a knock on the door. My head shot up and I once again closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Come in." – I said just loud enough to be heard. The door opened and I held my breath hoping it's not Arian. I can't deal with him right now. When Aaron poked his head inside I sagged against the chair I was sitting on and breathed out a sigh of relief. He looked at me sympathetically and sat on the chair opposite of mine.
"That bad, ha?" – He asked me. I didn't want to look at him because he would see every emotion in my eyes. He stood up and walked to me then pulled me on my feet and hugged me.
"How could he do that to me?" – I hated how broken my voice sounded even muffled with Aarons chest. I know Aaron knows what Arian did to me. I saw the understanding in his eyes.
"Baby, you need to talk to him. I may have the answers to your questions but it's not my place to answer them. You two have a lot of things to say to each other and a lot of things to make clear. This past six days has been living hell for both of you. I could feel what you feel but I saw what and how he feels. And Mazy? That wasn't a pleasant sight. You both suffered a great deal of pain and torture because of his actions. I can't say that I'm okay with what he did to you. I wanted to break his jaw when he told me what he did to you but I knew that wouldn't help. But just because of those actions he came to some conclusions you two have to discuss. I don't justify his doings and wrongs but you need to listen to him, okay? You don't need to talk to him right away but you'll have to in time." – His hand was stroking my back and for the first time in seven days I relaxed. I nodded and sighed.
"Yeah, I know. I just need some time to be able to both listen and talk...without punching him." – I whispered in his chest. He drew back so he can kiss me on the forehead.
"I know, baby. Just don't wait too long." – And with that he walked out of the room. I smiled at the nickname he gave me when we were around four. When he says baby he doesn't mean the way boyfriends do, he actually means a baby. Like a little person, baby. I think it's cute.
I spent the day hiding from Arian but when time for bed came I couldn't hide anymore. I took a long shower and once again put on a T-shirt for sleep. I curled into a ball on my side of the bed and was looking out onto the moving city when he stepped out of the bathroom. My muscles stiffened and the hair on my neck bristled. He laid down and he was quiet for so long I thought he will just leave me alone. Nope.
