What a Fairytale

Chapter 9: Sleepless nights Part 3(Last part)

***ROSEMARY***

I've decided to have tee and cake with my parents today after work instead of Sunday. Bella was ecstatic to meet her grandparents. Everything went well when we were there. My parents somehow convinced me to leave Bella with them and have a weekend to myself.

At around eight pm I went home, only to find Jessie passed out on my couch, her weekend bag packed and at her feet. I totally forgot that I've told her Bella is at my parents for the weekend so I'll be home alone. She's been working hard the past two weeks, so that explains why she's passed out on the couch at eight pm. She's been working on finishing law school with someone that works at the same bar as her, they only have a week or two left. I threw a blanket over her and went straight to bed. She's not the only one thats exhausted. It doesn't even take me long to pass out once my head hits the pillow.

A/N - WARNING - ABUSIVE SCENE AHEAD. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SKIP I WILL MARK OFF WHEN THE SCENE HAS ENDED-

'Oh Rosyyyyy!" he calls from the bedroom, I've locked him inside to buy us some time to escape while tje police arrived. I drew the last straw when he hit Bella for no reason.

A FEW HOURS EARLIER...

"Hey Bella, do you wanna colour with mama?" I ask Bella, she nods her head excitedly at me. We're laying on the ground colouring when John calls me "ROSEMARY" He's mad, he never uses my full name. I'm in total panic when he comes running down from the stairs with his belt in hand. "Where is Isabella?" I was about to tell her to be quiet when she spoke up. "I'm here dada, looks what we're doing" she points down at the drawings we've made with a proud smile. But he only scowls at her, he grabs her by her arm and pull her up to her feet, he starts beating her with his belt multiple times, I jump up to my feet grabbing him by his arm screaming at hom to stop. "Stop it John. STOP IT. Why are you doing this!?" I yell repeatedly. He slaps me across the face with his back hand, making me hit my head with a thud on the ground. I start to see black spots, but I refuse to let the darkness take me again. I run to the coat closet and grab the baseball bat. I rund back to John and hit him over the head, making him let go of Bella and drop to the floor. Lucky for me he passed out right away. I grab Bella and hug her tighly, trying to comfort her. "Baby, listen to me very carefully, run up to your room, lock your door and start packing whatever you need, clothes, tooth brush, all of it. If you hear me knocking three times, then you open okay? But if it is not three times you hide, do you understand?" I ask with urgency in my voice. She nods her head in understanding and I usher her to run to her room. I drag John's body up the stairs with a struggle as his body is heavier than mine. Once I get him into our room, I run to the bathroom to pack my things. Then I drag him into the bathroom, locking and baracading the door with our underwear cupboard. I quickly pack the last of my things and call the police, twlling them the story as fast as I can. I hear him starting to groan. He's waking up. I quickly leave our room and lock that door as well, putting a chair under the door knob. I run to Bella's room, knocking three times on the door to indicate it's me. She opens the door, her face red and puffy from crying. My face softens at the look of her. I look through the bag that she had packed to make sure she got the essentials.I grab her bag along with mine, throwing her bag over my shoulder and grabbing her hand. When we make it to the door that leads to the outside of the house I hear John trying to break through the bedroom door. Once we've stepped outside, I see two police cars pull up. The one police cars carries two men and the second car carries a man and a female. They all jump out of the car and rush to us, the female stopping infront of me and Bella "Hello are you two alright?" She asks in a hurry "Hi yes, we're fine. I locked him in the room so he wouldn't get to us. He's trying to get out" I burts into tears. Fear flooding my body again. "Okay, we'll talk about everything after we've contained him" I nod my head in understanding. As they were about to go inside we hear a gunshot go off.

A/N - ENDING OF SCENE****

I woke up from my nightmare at around 11:30 pm. All these nightmares have started again since his message.

I walked to the kitchen to find Jessie hard at work with my kettle. "Hey girl, why are you up?" she asks walking toward me to give me a hug. "Couldn't sleep, how about you?" I ask hugging her back. "Same, I want to go out on an adventure, you up for it?"

"Yeah sure, why the f**k not" I smile at her. We enjoy our coffee for a while, cathing up about what has happend the last few weeks. I told her about my new partner, and my parents. "So is he hot?" she asks wiggling her eyebrows. I blush at her question only confirming her question, she giggles at me shake her head. She was about to make a snarky comment when my phone dinged with a text message. I hold up my finger for her to pause whatever she was about to say and pick up my phone to see who texted me. It's zack, a small smile creeps onto my lips.

'Hey Rose, do you wanna come out to a bar with me and my friend Max tonight? If you can't Because of Bella then it's fine I understand'

My heart flutters at his question, but why would he want us to come with him and his friend to a bar at twelve in the morning? I'm definitely not going alone. "Hey Jess, do you wanna go to a bar with Zack and Max?" I ask, hope in my voice. She grins at me before answering "Yeah duh, what kind of question would that be" she snorts and gets up to get ready. I quickly type a reply back to him.

'Hey Zack, yeah sure, is it fine if I bring a friend with me? Bella is with her grandparents this weekend so I'm free till Sunday'

'Great, we'll pick you guys up in 30?'

'Yeah sure, see you then :)'

He doesn't answer on my final reply, so instead of waiting for if he does, I jump up to get ready. Jessie and I take turns to take a shower. After mine I'm left with choosing a dress and shoes. I pick a tight red backless dress, that ends a few inches under my butt, the front end is a little low cut so you can see a great deal of my cleavage, for shoes I take the red stiletto heels. For my second option I pick a black dress, tight and shirt like the red one, but on the black the sides by my ribcage are cut out. making it look rugged, this one does not show any cleavage as it has a flaring fluffy top thing that covers my shoulders. For heels I pick black bulky heels, it's thick in the front and only two of my toes are showing and it's thin at the back. So I'll need to walk carefully in these. I'm taking my small rose gold purse that fits with both outfits. Jessie comes out in her outfit of the night, she has a gold tight mini dress on thay hugs her curves perfectly, it's and off the shoulder dress so a part of her cleavage is showing, she has rose gold heels on that looks like the black heels I picked, and a red mini purse. "You look absolutely breathtaking Jess" I say gawking at her. she has already done her make up and hair, she straightened her natural curly hair and did light make up to look as natural as possible. Her go-to look. "Thank you darling. Now let me guess, you don't know what to wear?" she asks looking at my choices for the night. I smile at her apologetically, but we both knew this was coming. "Take the red dress and black heels, purse is fine. There we go, now run off and finish, we don't have much time left" I grab the items and run off to the bathroom, quickly dressing and blow drying my hair to give me a natural wave. I've decided to do a dark smockey eye to mae my blue eyes pop, for the finishing touch I added red lipstick. I walk out of the bathroom adjusting my purse on my shoulder, when I look up Jess is almost in tears "What's wrong Jess?" I ask in a worried tone running to her to give her a hug. "You just look so beautiful, I knew teaching you my make up tricks would come in handy" she says with a wide smile, I giggle at her and usher her to follow me so we could wait downstairs. Just as we reach downstairs the door bell rings. i couldn't run faster to open the door, Jeesie giggles at my eagerness to see him. "Woah slow down there sparky, Mr hottie won't run away" She says, giggle after every word. I flip her the bird and compose myself before opening the door. "Hi" I say with a shy smile. "Hey, so who's Mr. Hottie?" he asks with a grin, his friend pops out from behind him and offers me his hand "Hi I'm Mr. Hottie, nice to meet you" I take his hand in mine shaking it, my face is beet red at the moment and Jessie can't stop giggling. "I'm Rose and this is Jessie" I mutter to him, he chuckles at me, bring my hand to his lips "I'm Maxwell, but you can just call me Max" He smiles sweetly at me. If my face wasn't red enough a few seconds ago, it definitely is now. We all head out to Zack's car, me and Jessie in the back and the two guys in the front.

When we arrive at our destination, the Misty pub is in full swing. People going in sober and coming out as drunk as ever, long lines of people that stretch all the way around the corner. Me and Jessie used to be regulars here, we never waited in the line. The four of us walk past all the people to the bouncer, Zack talks to him in hushed tones, the bouncer laughs at something he says and in we go. The people waiting outside groaning and cursing the bouncer. He just smiles and waves at them before standing at attention again. Once inside Jessie pulls me straight to the bar, the guys following behind hs like lost puppies.

"Mack hunny!" Jessie calls, Mack's head darting up to see who called him. His eyes light up like a kid at Christmas and his smile stretches even more when he spots me. Mack has blonde hair and brown eyes, he's pretty tall, maybe 6'3 or so. Big bulging muscles, and a few sexy tattoos. All the ladies swoon over him at the bar. He hasn't seen me in a long while now, hence why he's eager to come to us. "Baby Rose, I haven't seen you in ages. Where have you been?" He asks, jumping over the bar to hug me. In the corner of my eye I can see the jealousy in Zack's face. Mack kisses both my cheeks before pulling me into another hug. "Hey, what am i? Chopped liver? where's my hug, you haven't seen me in a long time too!" Jessie pouts behind me. "Jess, love, I've seen you last Saturday" Mack loves, pulling her into a tight hug. He gives her a kiss square on the lips, making her swoon even more. Mack jumps back behind the bar to take our orders from the guys, Jessie looks over at me and starts to scowl "Stop laughing! He's hot and you know it!" she mutters. "Hey Rose, Jessie, do you want to do a few shots with us?" Max asks dangling a s**t infront of Jessies face. Oh no, his first and last mistake of the night. Her entire face lights up as she seductively walks over to him, Max gulping visibly. "Yes, we would absolutely love to" Jessie says with an evil smirk on her face. Many, many, MANY shots later, I find myself on the dance floor grinding up against Zack and Jessie grinds up against Max. We're all sweaty and drunk on the dance floor. I feel a bit parched and yell to Zack that I'll be right back. He nods his head and continue to dance. I make my way over to the bar to get us another round of drinks and shots when I feel someone come up behind me, gripping my waist with his hands and push me into the bar table. His lips close to my ear "Hey sexy, what do you say we go for a little walk"
