BEXLEY
Four Years Later
Friends – Chase Atlantic
The tiny bell hanging on the door of the cafe chimes every time
someone comes and goes, sending a pulsating sharp pain through my
head. I suspected last night I was suffering from yet another
concussion, but the scent of food turning my stomach and the small cafe
I’m standing in spinning around me confirms it. Nothing I haven’t dealt
with before. I’ll be fine.
At least until Cece gets here.
My best friend has known me so long she can tell when I’m lying, and I
have no doubt she’ll call me out on my attempts to hide the newest
collection of bruises across my skin.
She knows all about Christian, and what happens when he goes off. I
can’t even count the number of times she’s threatened to put a bullet in his
head and bury him six feet under for laying his hands on me. I know she’s
being protective, and I admire her for it, but sometimes I wish she wouldn’t
say anything. Walking on eggshells around him is hard enough. I don’t need
the added stress of wondering what will happen if he ever decides to snap
on her the way he does me.
I have to admit though, it’s rather funny, watching her chew him a new
one. No one ever does. Only Cecilia. She’s the only one who has the balls
to give him a piece of her mind, but honestly, she’s like that with everyone.
Cece, despite being five foot nothing, never takes shit from anyone. Never
has. There is no way in hell she’ll miss the marks this time, and even if she
does, she’ll see right through my lies until she’s forcing me to show them to
her.
And as much as I hate that, if there is anyone I can’t hide them from,
I’m thankful it’s her.
I pull the sleeves of my shirt down, fidgeting with the cotton fabric in
my hands as I wait patiently in the lineup to place my order. Hopefully, now
that race season is starting, Christian will be more focused on that than me.
Who am I kidding? If anything, it will only get worse.
Especially with the added pressure and stress of winning. It doesn’t
matter that I’m not one of his adrenaline-junkie opponents. I don’t even
involve myself in his race stuff other than show up to watch when I’m
supposed to, and I definitely never touch his precious bike. Yet, every loss
or every idiot he goes up against that does something to piss him off, is
always somehow my fault.
It’s me who always receives the brunt of his aggression and frustration.
His personal punching bag.
Cece always asks me why I stay. Why, no matter what he does to me, I
find some reason, some excuse to stay. Sometimes, I even find myself
defending him and what he does.
Idiot.
But no matter how many times she asks and how many times I forgive
him, I never know how to answer her. Because, if I’m honest, even I don’t
know the answer.
