Natalie,
I know an emotionally hurt and abused person looks when I see one and that small bruise is another proof.
When I woke up, I didn’t find Derek beside me, and at first, I thought that it was a good thing because I was embarrassed and wanted to f*****g run away.
But then I thought about it and remembered how hurt and angry he looked when he didn’t find me that night.
So I just decided to stay, I took a long relaxing shower. Found something in his closet to wear and waited for him.
I heard him when he came back, but I waited for him in the room and when it took him so long, I just searched for him myself.
But when I saw him, my chest clenched and I couldn’t explain that damn sadness that drowned me.
Derek’s face was hunted, he looked like he was seeing demons from his past.
