"- Hey! Ayanne, listen to me, okay? Look at me, please! - I didn't know if she was really listening to me, but every time I heard his crying he seemed but desperate and distressed, it was impossible not to want to do something to help." "- Please look at me, let me see your face, please! - She wouldn't answer I pleaded feeling my voice become choked, and my throat choked, that would be the first time I would cry since I left my parent's house, I would cry for her, and I would have no shame in doing so, even if I had to go back to my despair I would take her out of hers." When she lifted her head my eyes were already overflowing, there was no escape, I grabbed her tighter and sank my face into her neck feeling her perfume, I didn't mind getting her shoulders wet, and I believe she didn't either. When I lifted my face and saw hers illuminated by the evening light, I was feeling more relieved, my body was trembling, but my heart no longer palpitated with pain. "- I'm here! It's all rig

After I finished putting everything in its place and cleaning up, I locked the door of Ayanne's house as best as I could, as soon as I was sure that the stores were already open I would ask them to bring three doors and of course new locks, there wasn't much I could do with that one, it was a total loss, it already needed to be changed, because it still had the bear marks on it, but now they should definitely be ripped off. Before going back to my house I had picked up one of her clothes for her, of course just the normal clothes, I wouldn't do anything else besides that, I know it could leave the woman in a difficult situation after all nobody wants a stranger touching their underwear, I also put feminine products like shampoo and conditioner, those things that women use, that have a pot for each thing, I had found her cell phone in the bathroom while cleaning, so I took the charger and put it in a bag, I took some hair products, I know we would need to go downtown to file a report,

- Yes, right away. - I answered without any interest in him, after all, I wanted him dead if it were possible. - Take care of her, Ethan, don't let her be alone for a second. - It was obvious, even if the woman hadn't spoken, that I was taking care of her with my own life. - Don't worry, I won't leave her alone. - I replied as I looked up the stairs, having in mind her image on my bed, so helpless. - When will you be back? - I remembered what the doctor had said. - Maybe in the afternoon, the day has just dawned, and the doctor hasn't come to check on her yet. - She explained. - All right, let me know, I'll pick you up. - I informed, going back to what I had planned. - No need, I'll call that gentleman. - He warned, but I knew that she just didn't want to bother. - Don't worry, I'll be there anyway. - I didn't want to leave any room for her to refuse. - I want you to stay with her, you may as well visit us at home later, and without, but take care of her, bye. - That was the la

Ayanne lifted her arm and touched my face lightly with her hand, her touch was so soft, on my rough skin, I felt the need to pull away, I didn't want my face to hurt her hand, but at the same time, I wanted to stay there with that touch, it was like silk touching a piece of wood bark, I looked wide-eyed at the woman who smiled graciously, my heart was racing so fast it could be heard as knocks on the door deep in my ears, I unconsciously let out air through my mouth when she lightly caressed my cheek. - You should get some sleep, you can't lie to me. - Ayanne smiled, and for a moment my heart skipped a beat. - No... You need not worry about me, I'm fine, I need to... make breakfast yet. - I wish I hadn't shown that I was nervous, but I think it was almost impossible when I felt the warmth of her touch. - But you have already done so much for me, I can do this for you. - The woman had a bright smile on her face, and it almost made me forget that I had to take her to the police statio

Inside the car we couldn't hear anything but the sound of her breathing, she looked to the sides in alert even though she was in a closed place like this, and especially to the taxi driver, the more she looked, the closer she got to my body, she was aware that not all men were bad, but she couldn't help feeling afraid, I understand her, really, in my first months here, it was very difficult for me to adapt to living with many people, especially around, when I was alone with my uncle it was one thing, but when there were other people around, I couldn't help but be afraid, because I knew in my mind that someone there could do the same thing that that man or my mother did, especially since they were of a similar age to them. When we arrived and got out of the car her grip on my arm made me pull away from her and wrap her in my arms, I hugged her as tight as I could, but not to hurt her. - Everything will be fine, I'm here, don't worry. - I really wanted to stop saying those words, mainly

It was the last thing I saw, her eyes, her eyes were the last thing I could keep in my memory before that door was closed, and I was alone with two strange women, I know I shouldn't be afraid of them, but I couldn't, my whole life I have learned to feel this way about anyone, especially after an aggression, so many people hurt me while I was growing up that it was too hard to trust to be alone in some closed room, when I was alone in life this fear was relieving itself, but apparently I still had remnants inside me, and so I tried to focus my mind on those eyes. - Miss, my name is Silvia, I know that this moment can be difficult, but don't worry, we won't force you into anything, but know that we need to take some pictures of the bruises to leave on record. - The woman in the white lab coat, blonde, looked like the doctor in the hospital, so I thought it was the same, she calmly explained what should be done, I took a deep breath uncomfortable, I had never shown my body to another per

"Please... stop! Please! Think of something different, Ayanne! Please think of something different, it will be okay. I tried to focus my thoughts on something else, but nothing came to mind even if I tried hard nothing good, just the repeated scenes from my childhood, just every sensation of pain I felt from every cut and burn." - Those scars, you have a long time, right? - The policewoman asked, I agreed with a groan as I shook my head, sobbing as my tears wet my face. - How long? - She asked again. "Why? Because you keep going, it's obvious you have nothing to do with that man, please stop looking, please. I begged, not even able to form a word. - All right, it's over now. - The woman whispered, and I automatically put my hand on the opening and pulled it over my back, I felt footsteps behind me, and in an instinct I moved away. - NO! - I screamed, scared, crying desperately, cringing in the corner of the wall on the floor, those images came back in my mind, that man beating me

It was hard, getting out of Ethan's arms was extremely hard, even if it was just to change the clothes I was wearing, but I knew he couldn't do that, and I didn't want to be alone, like a frightened child, but I knew I could do it without him actually seeing me change, anyway, I didn't want to be alone, I knew if I did, the monsters would come back, when that kiss was over, I didn't know exactly what to say, but they weren't my concern at that moment, and I was thankful that Ethan didn't ask me anything, and just asked me to get up and change. - You're not really going out, are you? - I asked softly as the man turned his back to me. - I swear I'm not going out, I'll be here with my back to you and my eyes closed. - And that's what he did, I saw him raise his hands to his eyes and keep them there, first I took my pants and put them underneath the strange dress they gave me, and then I took the sleeves off the clothes and left them over my body making sure that no piece of my back show

Flora had said that Ethan would fall in love with me again, but at that moment, I was the one who had fallen in love for the second time. My heart was so warmed by her words that I didn't even notice when the priest was speaking, I could only hear him when he said it. - Please, the rings. - I didn't know who had given them to me, but when I looked across the yard and saw Akira walking in with a bow tie and a little basket in his mouth, my heart melted. He was coming towards us so calmly and elegantly that he didn't even look like a wiggling ball of fur. - You taught him that? - I looked incredulously at the man next to me, who smiled and shook his head. - That was our secret. - When the puppy arrived, Ethan signaled with his finger that he would automatically sit down without letting go of the mini basket. - Good boy! - Ethan stroked his head and I bent down to do the same while he picked up the basket. - Good boy! Akira! As soon as we had the rings in hand, we turned to each othe

In the past, for me life was just life, confusing right, I'll explain it better, for me life was just existing, not really having a meaning, something to believe in, people to care for and smile with, to cry with or just love, for me life was just a life, it had no shape and was colorless, I used paint to give color to a beautiful picture, but nothing painted my own life. Now it's different, my life has a meaning, and I discovered that as well as loving Ethan I could love a profession, which was to be a teacher, but to be specific a drawing teacher, and my first student was finally Megan, who was always happy in my classes, she was going to start studying next year, and she was so excited.Flora too, now she had more time to herself and could take care of herself a lot more, she had time to herself, and you know that day Draven didn't lie, it was true that Liliana wanted to buy my painting, days later she called me, she said it took her a while to find my number, but she got it from K

I remember as if it were yesterday, when we returned home that frightening night, I had a surprise that hurt my heart to know that I had lost, Ethan's house was impeccably clean, and the table was set like a romantic dinner, but when I learned that the pasta he had made was bad because it hadn't been taken out of the water he felt disappointed, and my heart broke seeing him in that state, I remember holding his face and looking deeply into his eyes, if that dinner was important to Ethan then we would make it happen.- Let's have dinner, what you've done, and I'll thank you with all my heart for it, what matters is that we're together Ethan Black. - I kissed his lips in the process, and when I pulled away I looked into his eyes again, looking for some sign of comfort.- But this dinner was for me to give him something important. - His eyebrows were still down and his gaze was on the floor.- So give it to me now, I can't wait, and I don't want to wait, but for this surprise. - I let go

The more time passed, the more anxious I felt, Akira was lying with his head on my legs while I stroked his head, I was sitting on the floor, looking where the headlights of the cars could illuminate, that's where Draven's car was parked, no sign of them and the people who were here I was told were paramedics for a possible serious injury, which terrified me, if they were there it was a sign that Ethan could get badly hurt, I didn't understand much about hospitals, health people or the police, only that Ethan talked about home, but he forgot to say about this part of people who ride in cars to help the injured. - Ma'am, please treat your injuries. - A woman in a similar police outfit with red symbols said the same thing for the fifth time, I shook my head again for the fifth time refusing, I wasn't hurt, I didn't feel anything, they needed to save things for Ethan if he needed them, which I hoped wouldn't happen.- Sir, we found them, over. - A muffled voice was heard, I looked aroun

I was ready to accept my death, or at least be in a coma, or all broken up, but nothing, absolutely none of that happened, I had my eyes closed when I felt my body hit something, and a familiar smell and the sound of loud breathing took over my senses, When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the surrounding darkness, then the white silhouette of Draven in the window I had just jumped out of, and finally Ethan's face, his eyes were pure terror and relief, he was holding me tightly, he looked afraid that he was going to lose me at any moment, and to be honest, I didn't think I would ever see him again.- Ethan? - My voice came out as a choked grunt, I still couldn't believe I was with him.- Thank God I was able to get there in time. - The tension in his voice was so worrying to hear, as if he was totally out of breath, like drowning. Without much to think about, I hugged his neck tightly, feeling our hearts racing in one rhythm.- It was Draven! He said that one of the people

I felt someone's arms around my waist, and it felt like gravity was wrong, my belly was pressed under a thin place like the banister of a staircase, it was strange, I never felt like this, my body moved as if it was upside down. Strangely I smelled an unpleasant smell like a very musty place, a suffocating smell, I felt my consciousness return little by little, I opened my eyes seeing something white still a little blurry, but a familiar smell invaded my memory it was the smell of Draven, his strong perfume was memorable, because it was very strong.- W-what? - I still hadn't understood where or what I was doing, it was dark, but there seemed to be light somewhere in the direction I was looking.- O-where am I? - I tried to move, but I felt the grip on my waist, but strong.- Calm down, honey, it's okay, but if you keep moving like that you'll fall. - Was Draven crazy? - What are you talking about? - I tried to hold on to his shirt.- My love, have you forgotten our appointment? - He
