Disappointed

DAWN'S POV

I started getting ready for work, after Chris left. I don't know if I was the one seeing things, but it looks like he's worried about something.

I know he's still keeping things from, I'd be stupid if I believe what he just said like that. And I know that he knows that I don't believe him.

But I'll wait for him, when he's ready to tell me, he'll tell me. But I can't say I'm not curious at all. Still I won't pressure him to tell me, unless it seems necessary to

I looked at myself through the mirror, and nodded in approval of my appearance. I went downstairs to the kitchen, took a glass of orange juice, and drank slowly, using the opportunity to wait for Chris.

"So Dawn, you're still blind to all his tricks, aren't you?", a voice that I despise with everything in me said. I turned and looked at Peter, he was still smiling

I dropped the glass cup on the kitchen island, and shook my head, "you're really not worth my time", I said, as I walked out of the kitchen

I was about to pick my bag from the sofa when he held my hand with force, that it hurt

"Let me go", I hissed at him

Instead he held me tighter, and scoffed, "not worth your time?, you're so wrong Dawn. You think that guy is the one for you, aren't you curious about him?, don't you think he's just here to use you and leave once he's done with you, huh?"

I smiled at him, obviously infuriating him more, "let me make things clear to you, I am your boss, you don't disrespect me, and again, I'm the one making him use me, so that's not a problem, okay"

Peter pulled me further, making my wrist hurt more, but still, I showed no emotion in front of him. Although I'm sure it will form a bruise later

He was about saying something, but someone punched him on the face.

'When did he get here'

Chris started hitting Peter on the face, beside them I noticed a rose flower  on the floor.

'He obviously bought it for me'

I held his hands to stop him, he shouldn't kill someone here, "Chris, that's okay."

Instead of answering me, Chris did something that hurt me, he flinged my hand away. It was a little act, but it hurt me too much

"leave me alone Dawn, I need to deal with this good for nothing",

'Wow, he's doing it again'

And so, I left him, he can hit if he wants to, he can kill if he wants to. I'm not gonna try to stop him again, if he's gonna continue ignoring me like this. So I just stood there, watching the whole drama.

It's like he noticed my silence, he sighed and drew back from Peter, whose nose was already bleeding. "don't ever touch her again, or even come near her ever again, or you wouldn't like what's coming next"

Chris stood up, and turned to look at me. I folded my arms, "are you done?"

Without waiting for him to say anything, I walked upstairs. I don't even feel like going to the company again, and aunt Laura was probably out again. She's been going out much these days.

I went to my room. Sighing, I went to the window, folding my arms.

'I don't want to be like this,

I'm trying hard not to feel like this

I'm really trying, but I can't stop feeling like I'm nothing anytime Chris ignores me'

He entered. I didn't bother looking back. He hugged me from behind, and buried his face in my neck, and did that sniffing thing that I liked, and that also tickled me, but now I don't want to show any emotion.

"sweets, I'm sorry", he said, his breath tickling my neck, but I didn't say anything

He turned me around, "babe I'm really sorry".

I looked at the other side, still not looking at him. Then I remembered my flower

"Youthrewmyflower", I murmured so fast, I'm sure he won't hear what I said

"What did you say, babe?", he asked gently

I finally looked up at him, his eyes were filled with guilt, but I still need to give it to him, "I said, you threw my flower away"

He sighed and smiled at me instead of getting angry "babe, I'm sorry, I'll buy you another one, I promise"

I shrugged and turned around, "whatever, it's just that It's not nice when I get ignored"

He hugged me tightly, "my baby, my sweetie, please forgive me"

I shrugged

'Not like I haven't forgiven you already'

We were still in an embrace, when he asked me, "Babe, what's between you and that Peter?"

'Oh my gosh.Why is he asking me something like that?'

I don't know why I felt guilty, it's not like I did anything wrong

I looked away, "nothing"

He scoffed and released me. I turned to look at him, "I get it Dawn, while I'm expected not to keep secrets, you're free to do so, right?"

I shook my head and tried to touch him, but he moved back, avoiding my touch.

That hurt, it was like my nightmare is being real

"No, that's not it", I said, standing where I was, looking down. I was trying to hold the tears that wanted to come out

Chris walked towards me, "tell me Dawn, what are the first things he taught you?", he held my chin and raised it up, forcing me to look at him, did he teach you how to kiss?", as he said that he started kissing me forcefully

I couldn't stop my tears from coming down this time. He never kissed me this way, so I pushed him, and rubbed my cheeks with my hands

His face was filled with guilt, he started walking towards me, but I held up my hand to stop him

"I'm disappointed in you", I couldn't help but tell him that
