I stretched my arms as I climbed out of my bed, Nolan's father had given us hours off of work for us just to get to know each other and now this is how he spends it.I change into some new fresh clothes and walk downstairs, ready to make my breakfast. Now I am an extraordinary person, a regular person would probably poison her food, but I've decided to learn more about her and who knows maybe even be her friend, you may say oh my goodness Natalie is delusional. but at the same time, I'm gonna make Nolan feel so uncomfortable, he won't even be able to move.I started making pancakes batter and frying on my bacon. I was kinda proud of my self that I didn't burn it, it was a job well done. Just as I was plating my masterpiece Nolan comes down in sweatpants and a bare chest. I can tell he's upset, and at me, since he's holding the clothes I washed with my lavender scent plastered all over them."What the fuck is this", he stormed down the stairs as I stare at his open chest, beautiful
"Ma'am do you need a ride", a cab driver asked as I nodded and climbed in I told him my address as he kept to himself.I wrapped my head around the fact that people would be there when I got home. When I was at my apartment I would go home and come out 3 days later.But now I had to escape the light."Ma'am you've arrived", he said as I passed him the money Massey gave me and as I was closing the door he said"It gets better".Would it get better, I live with a man who thinks I'm insane and has no feelings for me, and my father who beats me until I can barely breathe.I rung the doorbell as my key was now in my father's office hopefully Massey would grab it. I knocked again as I heard a heavy groan coming down the stairs.He swung open the door as I hid my battered wrists from his sight. I rushed in as I needed my own space. He rushed after me waiting to insult me every step of the way."What's with the coat it's 91°outside?", he chuckled as my pace grew faster trying to race
Natalie"I meant I can handle myself thank you", I said as I waited for him to leave me to be alone with my thoughts. I heard the door open as I waited to get up, he entered back in with a bowl of noodles in his hand. Comfort food."I can feed you", he said looking confused. I chuckled as if I couldn't care for myself. A sharp pain came to my side as I made eye contact with him as he saw me hold my side."We need a doctor", he said as I screamed at him. If my father found out I would be dead and so would she. He came running back as I knew I needed to tell him."Please don't tell my father", I said as he looked confused."It'll just worry him", I said as he understood it. He nodded as I bit into the noodle tasting each flavor of such a simple, but comforting meal. He took a seat on the chair as he stared at me with his piercing hazel eyes."What, Do I have something on my face", I laughed as I wiped my chin."No it's not that, you are just so beautiful", He said as my cheeks we
Natalie's POV"Who did this to you?", a slight whisper came from Nolan. My body stretched against the cold sofa and I suddenly felt his presence leave the room. I wanted to say a name, but I knew the rules, and I knew that 'my father', Daniel wasn't afraid of showing me that I needed to follow them. He loved his power over me and everyone who walked this damned earth.I cuddled up against the pillow next to mine, and I knew he was right, it wasn't just the mattress. That intoxicating smell was comforting and as much as I despised the man wearing it, the scent brought me safety and security. Something about this total stranger told me that he wouldn't hurt me, like Daniel did."You love my pillow", Nolan gawked as I quickly opened my eyes to the bright sun and the shadow of the man. I quickly released the pillow into his hands and he climbed into bed under the million of weighted layers."No wonder the Ice Princess's room is like an icebox", he commented and I began to push him out
(Chats with Avery)Avery Hey, just wondering how everything's going?NatalieIt's goingAveryNolan warmed up to you, yet?NatalieI thought we were getting somewhere, but he just left.AveryI'm coming over.She texted as I started freaking out my body was scarred and bandaged. When I was in my apartment I never had to worry if people were coming over it was just me. I couldn't stop her, maybe I could cover it up. I didn't want to lie or tell her a phony truth.I got up out of the warm bed and hoped that if I took a shower it would cause the scars to fade. I was wishing for a miracle. I stripped my clothes off and turned the faucet on as I checked the temperature making sure it wouldn't scorch my body. I found myself in the mirror above the sink, I saw my trashed body, my extremely red stomach, my arms had gashes in them with old blood surrounding them. I was disgusted by my body it made me feel gross. I was gross, the water ran as a tear escaped my eye. Leaving me vuln
Natalie's POV"I really must be going", Avery spoke as she started lacing her shoes back on and Nolan leaned against the stairway of the beige stairs."Don't go we're having fun", I said and I leaned against her and gave her a side hug. After what happened the last few hours, Nolan and I couldn't stop exchanging awkward glances, on my end they were awkward, but on his he saw his stares as a way to make me feel so undermined and controlled. I found him controlling and intimidating a side he used to keep me in check. I didn't want to be alone with him, knowing next time maybe I wouldn't be able to put my hormones to the side and have my brain act. I looked at Avery with pleading eyes."I have to, I have work in the morning, speaking of work you have to come you'd be a perfect model, you definitely have the looks", she grinned at her brother, and she looked back at me. She definitely wanted to ignite a flame between Nolan and I and then she'd want to hear all about it tomorrow."I'll
Natalie "Your such a badass, my brother doesn't deserve you", Avery ranted on and on as I zoned her out looking out at the clouds wanting an explanation, of why he was like this. I didn't feel like a badass, I felt like I want to know more about this new surfaced behavior from him."I love this song", she said as she started singing and I sang with her to the lyrics. My goal was to forget about everything that happened tonight and just lose my head. After thirty minutes of restless singing and dancing, we arrived at the glowing bar."You ready", she said as we hopped the line as she showed her I.D and pulled me along with her. The line outside of the bar was filled with people and paparazzi, snapping pictures on cameras or telephones.The atmosphere was so lively, I smudged my lipstick as Avery pulled me along passing drinks and drinks lining the bar. She pulled me down to a couple of empty barstools as a bartender came close to us waiting for our drink order."Two shots of tequ
The pounding of my head continued over and over again. I opened my eyes to the scolding sun, feeling it against my cold skin as I looked around a room I had never been to before, but as a familiar face turned over, I guessed this was Avery's house."Someone got wasted last night", she echoed as I groaned from the head ache that crept up on me as I faced her. She cuddled into the bed next to me as I rested on her shoulder."Please I don't want to remember it", I looked away from the light as she ran her fingers through my hair."You really hate him that much huh", she looked at me with sad eyes, it was her brother I hated so much but she wanted us to work out."The sober me says that I only liked him a little bit, all other celebrity crushes higher than him, my heart still belongs to Harry Styles", she agreed to the last part."He's just so mean, and he doesn't understand what he's saying half the time and I can't see myself with him, I'm a penguin and he's a
