2024-10-29 19:42:56My heart was beating rapidly as I looked around her apartment I noticed glass on the floor, the table was flipped over, it looked as if there was a struggle. My heart stopped when I noticed blood on the floor and walls leading into her room.
I called out to her frantically "Marianna!! Where are you?!!"
I began to look around the first thing I noticed were her legs coming out of the bathroom. I lost complete sight of all my surroundings; I froze as I saw her laying on the floor motionless.
I fell to my knees next to her and prayed to God she was still alive. I saw blood coming from her lip and a bruise forming around it. There was a cut on her forehead. I put my fingers on the side of her neck searching for a pulse, I felt a huge relief wash over my body as I found her heartbeat.
"Marianna baby please wake up!" I lifted her up on my knees, I took out my phone and called 911.
Suddenly my attention was brought to other side of

Memories flooded my brain in an instant...His face was staring down at me, smiling, words... many words... bits and pieces of holding hands, kisses, touching me repeatedly, ....I tried to snap out of this trance, and held my head as a headache began to form...His voice jolted me out of my thoughts, "Marianna? are you ok? do you need the doctor?" he said"No! no I am sorry sir, or I mean Emmanuel I just have a slight headache, I hope you don't find me rude, but if you wouldn't mind, I would like to be alone right now?"

As I laid on my bed I contemplated skipping work today and going back to sleep. I rolled over to look at the time and thought 'I guess I need my job'. I stretched and got out of bed and went to start my coffee machine.I let my night gown slip off of my body and land on the floor, started the shower, which was my favorite place to be in. As I let the hot water roll down my back I began to wash my body with my vanilla body wash. I got lost in my thoughts of missing my home in Italy, I missed my family and friends, I missed the food and culture.It's been 2 years since I last saw my family...As I traced over the scar above my left breast I began to have flashbacks and heard the voice I would never forget.'Ti faro mio in un modo o nell'alto' (I'll make you mine, one way or another)I was quickly jolted back to reality as my alarm had gone off to warn me I had 30 minutes left till I had to leave for work. While rushing to turn off my alarm I cu

I have never seen him like this before, I honestly didn't even knew he drank. "Hi Jacob, are you ok?" I asked while trying to control my uneasy voice. Jacob turned to me, barely able to hold himself steady, "who the hell is this?" Jacob said while pointing at Emmanuel Instantly I felt my face burn with embarrassment, as I lowered my head so Emmanuel wouldn't see me I replied "Jacob this is my boss, Mr. Jennings, Mr. Jennings this is my neighbor Jacob". The look of horror consumed my face as Jacob deadpan said "oh, so this is Mr. Serious, I thought you said you hated him, and here he is taking you to your room?" I couldn't wrap my head around what was happening, 'th

My body responded in a way that would make any woman feel loved and needed, I felt my intimate area getting warmer and wet by the second. I felt like nothing else mattered but Manny and I, "Marianna, I love you, please let me have you right here right now" he pleaded against my shoulder. My next words sent him into a lust filled frenzy, "I'm yours" I told him. One of his hands made its way to my breast while his other hand to my thigh.

And you never will belong to anyone else!" He began to yell as he slapped me across the face, all I saw were stars, suddenly darkness began to fall over me as I fell to the floor. The world began to spin, as I tried to sit back up, all I could do was feel the floor as my head fell forward. I was praying I would just fall into unconsciousness, just so that I couldn't feel anymore... All I could do was scream for help, but no one ever came, he punched me in the face 1.. 2.. 3.. as each blow landed my voice got more and more quiet. I layed on the floor bleeding from my face, all I could do was cry in the dark alley of Italy.

We reached the same security guard that sent me away only a few minutes ago, I tried not to make eye contact with him. Just then Manny told him "next time you feel the need to send someone away please check with me or my father, this happens to be my date" his voice sounded firm filled with authority, he continued to glare at him as I stiffened my body at the word he just said, 'date!

I stood there for about 3 minutes with no answer, I had already knocked 3 different times, I was about to walk away when I heard the door unlocking. My heart felt like it had stopped when Marianna appeared in my line of vision. She looked horrible, but yet so beautiful, her hair was a mess, her eyes were red, and still I couldn't help but to notice the butterflies in my stomach at the sight of her enchanting face."What are you doing here?" I heard her say, her voice was hoarse barely even audible. "I was checking in to make sure you were alright Marianna, you've never missed before, and you weren't answering any of my calls." measuring my words carefully so she wouldn't run from me again."I apologize sir, I'm pretty sure I have the flu, running in the rain did me no favors, and I know you don't like your employees at work sick." She mutteredShe looked so vulnerable, my heart couldn't handle it "do you need anything while I'm here? Medicine? Soup? Any

Wait how do you know where I live?" I asked trying to control my voice."Oh, I hope you don't mind, I looked at your profile at the office. I wanted to apologize for the other day, I did not want to do it while you were at work. Look Marianna, I was out of line, I should not have lied to you like that.

He asked with the biggest smile on his face.As much as that sounded amazing to have another night with him, I did not want to be alone with him just yet, not after the conversation of giving secrets, what if he pressed on about me giving him a secret of mine, it was extremely sweet of him to tell me something so personal but mine wasn't sweet like his I didn't want to end this day on a bad note."Oorrr we could go out to eat somewhere and sit down like normal people" Returning the smile. I couldn't help but to notice a glimpse of sadness that came across his face, but in an instant it was gone.I did want to let him into my life but, I just wasn't ready, I was scared he would reject me, and in this point in my life I don't think I could face rejection by someone who was bec

I did the only other thing I could think of, I left work and drove over to her apartment.It felt like hours on my drive to her, I was running through what I would tell her when I saw her, maybe she was regretting what we did together, but I knew I would never regret anything!

I placed the blade down, curled my knees to my chest and just sobbed for hours. All I wanted was for the pain to go away, I wanted to forget about everything.I found what little strength I had left and pulled myself out of the cold water, I felt dead inside, nothing mattered, I didn't care about the cold air hitting my skin.
