Ashley
“Pack your stuff, we will leave in an hour!” I heard the call and it ended the same second. It was of course Vincent, but his voice was angrier and darker. I don’t even know why he is suddenly so angry? I mean, okay, he is a little angry but… isn’t this overreacting?
I sighed on my thinking. I don’t know about him, but I am definitely overthinking. I don’t wanna go back, we just came and I planned so much. I can’t ruin it all just of one stupid mistake I made.
I went out of the room to search for him.
I saw him sitting on one of the sofas in the reception. I went to him.
“Vincent…” I whispered. He looked at me and then near me.
“Where are the suitcases?”
“Uh, let’s talk this out, please come with me--”
“Do you wanna create a drama over here in front of everyone for this?”
I sighed. “I am sorry, okay? I don’t know how to--”
“Shut up!” He sighed. “Just shut up now”
“Okay I will shut up, but does one mistake mean everything is gone?”
We were whispering all the words slowly so no one could hear us. I think my last sentence had an effect on him cause he looked down and then at me with a sad smile.
“Okay, let’s go to our room”
I smiled brightly and then we went to the lift and then to our room. I entered and then he closed the door behind him.
“Vincent, first of all--”
He came close to me. I looked in his eyes but there was a difference. There wasn’t love, or longness in his eyes. There wasn’t the desire. There was some other emotion which I couldn’t predict.
I just stood while he came closer and slowly took me against the wall. Then he looked into my eyes.
“So tell me, I forced you, right?”
My breath was heavy. I didn’t know why he was acting like this. I could sense he was still angry. So why did he smile down there, why did he act like he understood me? Or maybe I was stupid and I misinterpreted what he wanted to say?
“Answer?”
“No,” I answered truthfully. I didn’t mean ‘forced’ in the way he perceived.
“Okay” he scoffed. Then he took my hands and placed them above me and I looked at him. He then kissed me and I didn’t kiss him back because I don’t know what he was treating me like. I regretted it instantly because he got away and looked at me again.
“Listen Ashley, kiss me when I kiss you” He said in a threatening and calm tone. I nodded and kissed him back. I didn’t feel any goodness. What had happened to him suddenly?
He got away and sighed. “Okay, we are staying”
I took deep breaths. I was feeling so suffocated.
“Vincent… Vincent, please tell me what can I do to make us like before…”
He smirked. “Nope. Now I will show you, what being forced feels like”
I was scared when I heard that. “What… what do you mean?”
“I mean, well, you will see the live show. Why need a demo?”
“Vincent, I really didn’t mean it!” I almost yelled because I was frustrated. Why the hell would he get so angry over something that wasn’t even that big! I mean, okay damn he was angry when he misunderstood me but why now!?
“Don’t raise your voice or I will raise my hand!”
My breath shattered and I nodded. He scoffed and went out of the room while the door closed. I cried and cried. I don’t know how my some words can change everything to this limit. He is suddenly like all about revenge and stuff? Didn’t he “love” me?
Well, I was more bothered by his ‘live show’. He said he will show me what being forced feels like… what is he gonna do? I don’t want him to do something that would make me hate him too…
I sat down on the sofa. I wanted to apologise, or do whatever it takes for him to forgive me. I don’t know what I did but maybe something did go wrong so he can just forgive me, I guess… Why does he have to punish me no matter what?
I didn’t go out to search for him because I was scared. I knew something was gonna happen soon. Also, I was scared about the fact that he can still be in trouble because of Chris’s shooting. I don’t want him to look like he fled when he was a potential suspect. I have to make sure that he takes care of that.
I messaged him. “I don’t think we should leave right now, it may seem suspicious to the Police”
He replied. “I said that we are staying”
“But… Vincent, please forgive me…”
He left it seen. I don’t know what the fuck is he thinking.
