Chapter Three

I walked in and instantly felt that familiar feeling of loneliness. I lived by myself and my parents and well... My whole family were back in the midlands. I had moved down to the South-East for a job last year. I did enjoy what I do and how I lived, but at the same time... It WAS lonely. Being so far away from everyone who loved you...

I locked my door behind me, it was just an automatic reaction and threw my keys into the bowl by the door. I put my bag of shopping next to it and walked through my flat to my front room. Sitting down on the sofa, I pulled my new unicorn out of the little build a bear box and looked at it. The fake smell of sweet bubblegum wafted up and I smiled again.

This really was a cute gift.

I pulled my phone out and took a picture of me cuddling it. I sent it to Andy and thanked him again. I knew he would still be driving home, He had a point, the rush hour traffic back into the city would be a nightmare and he most likely wouldn't be back for a while.

I wasn't worried though. He seemed to enjoy my company and the date as much as I did, and the fact we have a second date planned for tomorrow also speaks volumes... doesn't it?

Put my new favourite teddy down safely on the sofa, I got up and headed into the kitchen, flipping the kettle on. I wasn't hungry, I was still semi-full from my Wetherspoons burger, but I was craving a cup of coffee.

I leaned against the counter and found myself logging back onto my OkCupid account to have another look at Andy's profile. Admittedly, he did only have three photos up, but in all of them, he was a lot younger looking, and a lot skinnier.

I should have known really... He was in his mid 40's but looked no older than about 42 in his pictures... not that it bothered me. He seemed like a really nice, interesting guy.

When the kettle clicked, telling me that it had boiled, I put my phone down and made myself a drink before taking it into the front room. I turned the tv on, but only to listen to music and just settled down, relaxing. I was pretty tired, I had been up early this morning to make myself look ''first date'' presentable

**

I stirred awake and rubbed my eyes. I had fallen asleep, but the fact my coffee was still full and now stone cold told me that I had clearly been asleep for a little while. Weird I didn't even remember drifting off.

I sat up and stretched out, letting out a long yawn before grabbing my mug and taking it back to the kitchen to make a fresh one. I noticed when I put my mug on the side that my phone was flashing, telling me that I had a new message. I checked and saw it was off Andy.

Excitement filled me as I opened it, but as soon as I read what he said, my excitement disappeared;

Andy: Hey, I had a nice time today, but I'm going to have to cancel tomorrow, something's come up, Sorry.

How good of a time did he have if he's suddenly cancelling? There was no explanation, just that... ''Something came up''. Sure it did. I sighed and sent a quick, blunt reply.

Me: Ok.

Not even a minute passed and he replied;

Andy: I really am sorry. I've been asked to cover a shift at work, We're really swamped and there are a few guys off sick.

I just rolled my eyes, debating whether I should even reply or not. I wasn't being childish, yes, I was gutted, but cancelling so soon after just sort of... knocked my confidence with if there was a future or if it was just... Talk...

Me: Ok.

Again, almost instantly, i got a reply;

Andy: Is something wrong??

I wanted to say ''yes!'' or at least have the courage to say what was on my mind but... I couldn't bring myself to. I wasn't good with confrontation... but I wanted him to know how I felt! I decided to not reply...

The heat had gotten to me a little while I was asleep, so I felt gross and sticky. Not bothering to make myself another drink just yet, I headed to the bathroom to have a nice, cold, quick shower.

My ''quick'' shower turned into a 30 minute long one and when I got out, I was pretty much ready for bed. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around myself as I headed into my room. My flat was up on a high floor and no buildings around the block came this high up, which was good because it meant I had privacy.

I went and opened my bedroom windows to let in the cool night breeze before dumping my towel on the floor and walking nude over to my draws to find some thin shorts and a top for bed. It was hot and even with the windows open, it was probably going to be an awful night.

Before I got into bed, I headed back into the front room to grab my new build a bear unicorn and my phone off the kitchen counter, which was once again flashing, letting me know I had an unread text. I didn't bother to view it, Instead, I placed my phone screen-side down on the bedside table, climbed into bed and snuggled down.

I was back to sleep in seconds, letting my dreams take over...

  • The Paramedic    Important note - Not a new chapter

    As you can see from the title, this isn't a chapter, however, I just wanted to clear something up. This book is true, its 100% true and infact I have left a lot of things out because it would have been too much personal stuff to share. As you read the ending and remember everything you have read so far, please, just keep in mind that this actually happened to me.When you say ''She is being stupid for putting up with it'' or ''God, Hannah should just leave him'' or ''Why does she keep forgiving him'', know it actually Why didn't I leave him, why did I keep forgiving him, and honestly, because I thought I loved him and thought he loved me. Domestic violence is something you don't really realise is happening until its too late, until you already fear them too much to leave.I took a break from this book for months because it was mentally putting me in a bad place and I haven't updated this book in a week because again, it was starting to affect me.

    Note: Just something to clear things up. Yes, Hannah works. You never read her working in the chapters because, well, that would be boring, but for anyone wondering how she can afford to live alone in the city, That’s why :)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter Forty-FiveAndy left as soon as we finished having sex. He said he had a coffee meeting to get to, I didn’t really care, I was just glad he was gone. This was beginning to be a pattern. Fight, fuck, forgive and forget. Shaking my head, I got out of bed and pulled all the covers off. Things had gotten quite hot and sweaty and I definitely needed to put fresh sheets on… after I had a shower...

I closed the door sensing neither of them were leaving any time soon. I walked over to them and stood between the pair, wanting to keep any physical confrontation from happening.'Andy, I thought you went home" he huffed a laugh and looked at me.'Yeah, clearly. Lying to me to get home for a secret meeting with him!' I could see he was getting angry.'I didn't even know he was here until I got home'.'Not that it's any of your business, mate, but I came to wish her a happy birthday.

    Note: If you think this book is boring, please stop reading it. No one is forcing you to. I’m sorry it's boring and I’m sorry that you think it's ‘’too slow’’. I assure you, I’m not dragging it out, people need to remember that abuse doesn’t just happen one day. People don’t realise they are being abused until it's too late and then they can’t see a way out. Bear that in mind before commenting; ‘’Not very realistic’’ because the truth is… this book is written, based on true events.I just wanted to make that clear to those who don’t understand what it's like to suffer domestic violence and assault.-------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter Forty Three

I just followed him, thinking the sooner we get in, the sooner I can make an excuse and go to bed, but he clearly had other plans.‘Right, where can I sleep?’ I asked, my voice completely void of any emotion. He pointed upstairs, but I waited for him to actually verbally clarify which room.‘My room’. I just laughed, Like, literally laughed out loud at him. He just stared at me, folding his arms.‘Wait… are you

    Chapter Forty OneI really wanted to go home, now more than ever, but of course, that wasn’t an option. Every time I built up the courage to look up, he had his back to me. Good, I didn’t want him staring, But the rejection he had shown towards me so randomly was making me feel like complete and utter shit.Andy brought our drinks over and sat down next to me. I moved away from him slightly and took the drink with me. I didn’t want to be anywhere near him, he had planned this and sure, he clearly didn’t know if James would be here because he didn’t know what had happened, but, he still tricked me to get me here and that was just as bad.‘What is with you tonight?’ He asked, acting like he had no clue what was going on. I just looked at him blankly,

I wasn’t depressed, that would be dramatic, but I was… lost, I guess you’d say. I just didn’t know what to do to make myself happy anymore.I hadn’t heard from James AT ALL and I don’t know why. Well, that's not true, it was obvious why He used me for sex. Of course, I wanted to sleep with him too, but I thought that, well... To be honest, there was something more there, but I guess not.A quick fuck and then sneak out while I was sleeping, Maybe he did this with other people too, who knows. I actually thought I had made a complete fool of myself. Of course, it was just ab

    Chapter Thirty Nine** A Few Hours Later **The food had arrived a little while ago and we were already two episodes deep into the tv show. It seemed strange to start on season 5 of a tv show together, but with something like American Horror Story, it didn’t really seem to matter where you started it. Every season was like a completely new show anyway.Either way, I was enjoying myself. We had good entertainment, good food and I certainly had good company. After we had eaten, we got back into the position we had been in all evening, James had his arm draped effortlessly over my shoulder and I was leaning against him, comfortably. My hand on his mid-thigh.I was so comfortable… that was… until my phone started ri

    Chapter Thirty EightAs soon as I started to get ready, the hours seemed to fly by and before I knew it, James was texting me to tell me he was on his way. As soon as he did, I started panicking. What if he wasn’t as cute as I remembered?! What if I wasn’t as cute as HE remembered?!I found myself obsessively checking myself out in the mirror, hoping every time I did that i would look the same… of -fucking- course I’d look the same. I was driving myself crazy. Since we were staying in tonight, I was very confused about what I should wear. I wanted to look nice, but obviously NOT overdressed, I wanted to look cute but not like I was trying too hard.So, I went with some skinny jeans and a nice casual, yet slightly cleavage-revelling, top.
