Episode 12
The next day I didn't go to work, I called in sick.
Mel had to go, she has a case she has to defend in court.
I'm still baffled by what happened last night.
I still can't believe he can do that.
Sometimes I still feel the pain in my cheek but I know it's just my subconscious.
I hear my phone ring I don't have to look at it before I know it's Mark.
Mark has been calling me since last night but I didn't pick it.
He sent so many text messages too begging me.
I read them over and over again.
I won't lie to myself and say the messages didn't touch my heart but I have not gotten over what happened last night.
My phone rings again.
It's Mark.
I keep looking at it until it missed.
Few seconds later I hear a bang on the door.
A little scared, I go inside and pick the mop from the kitchen and I move towards the door as the person kept banging on the door.
"Rose? Are you in?"
The voice stopped me.
I place the mop in a corner behind the door.
I open the door.
"Mark?
"Oh thank God you are in." He said, he looks agitated.
"What do you want?" I said folding my hands on my chest and glaring at him.
"I came to apologize for last night."
I just continue glaring at him.
"I'm truly sorry. Please forgive me"
Silence again.
"Please can we go in and talk? I would not want your neighbors to hear this"
I contemplate for a few minutes.
I wouldn't want them to hear that my boyfriend slapped me either.
"Come in"
We both enter.
A tense silence.
"Are you going to talk? Or should I walk you out?"
Before he could talk Mel came in.
"Rose.. What the actual f**k are you doing here?" Mel said angrily as she spots Mark.
"You told her?" Mark said looking at me.
He is giving me the "I can't believe you told her" look.
"Of course she told me you jerk. How could you lay your filthy hands on my best friend?" Mel says hitting him over and over with her bag.
I hold her back after some minutes.
"Mel.. It's okay. Let's hear him out."
Mel sits down breathing hard.
We sit down and nobody talked.
"Well? Cat got your tongue?" Mel said in mockery.
"I.. I don't know what came over me"
Mel scoffs at his words.
"That's what they all say. What else do you want to say? It's the devil's work?" Mel asked Mark.
"Can.. Can I talk to you Rose? Alone?"
"No Mister you better say all you have to say in front of me because…"
"Mel" I cut her off.
"Leave us please"
"But..."
"Don't worry I'll be fine" I tell her.
"Okay" she leaves us but not before giving Mark a death glare.
"Wow, she's scary"
"Is that what you want to tell me?"
"I'm truly sorry Rose. I don't know what came over me, I think I drank too much actually.. I'm sorry for hurting you so much. I'm sorry Rose please forgive me" He said looking really sad.
"How could you do this to me Mark? How could you do this to us? How could raise your hands at me Mark? I thought you have feelings for me" I say crying.

"I do Rose, I love you. I really do. I'm sorry I did that. It won't happen again I promise" He also said tears filling his eyes.
"You can't expect me to forget what happened easily. You have to give me time" I wiped the tears from my eyes.
He looks down dejected.
"If that's what you want.. But we will still talk right?"
"I don't know Mark. We'll see"
He takes a deep breath.
"I'll give you time. Just know that I really love you"
I nod my head I have the reply on my lips though I didn't say it out.
He leaves me giving me a last long sad look.
As soon as he leaves I start crying again.
Penshalom

Am I the only one that loves Melissa? Best friend goals. A big shout out to mine.

Episode 13
After he left Mel came out almost immediately.
"Will you stop crying for him? He doesn't deserve you" She said irritated.
"Don't say that Mel" I replied her wiping my tears.
"Why shouldn't I? He is an ass. Just forget him"
I look at her astonished.
"What? You want to go back to him?"
"I don't know" I slump on the chair.
"No no Rose.. You ain't going back to that guy"
"It's not your call Mel. I can decide for myself, he looked really sorry"
"He's just playing you. He's definitely going to do it again"
"I don't know alright? I told him to give me time, we might not see each other for a while"
We sit in silence each of us lost in our thoughts.
"I'm gonna go take a shower" I said standing up.
"You really need it. You look like shit"
I scowled at her before I went inside the bathroom.
**************************************************
Mark didn't give me the time I asked for.
He kept bugging me.
He calls and sends me messages, telling me to forgive him, telling me how much he loves me.
Flowers and cute notes on them are delivered to my office everyday.
We talk once in a while, I mean who could resist such loving gestures.
I forgave him since the day he came to my house, I really love him.
It's been a month now, that's why I've made this decision without Mel knowing and Mark totally supports this.
Mark and I are presently in his lounge at his apartment.
It's so beautiful and perfect.
Candles, flowers, the view of the sea.
A nice dinner and champagne with the hottest man sitting in front of you.
"Thank you for coming Rose" Mark said reaching for my hands.
I squeeze his hands in a loving gesture.
"I'm truly sorry for what I did"
"It's okay" I said quietly.
"Thank you for giving us another chance. I promise to treat you right"
"It's OK. I love you Mark."
"I love you too"
******************************************************
"You are home late"
Mel said as soon as I came in, I think she's been waiting up for me.
"Oh.. Yes"
"Uh, are you alright?" She asked with a worried expression.
"Yes, yes. I just decided to treat myself. Just to make myself happy" I said feigning a smile.
"Alright that's good. Since Mark is out of your life now you can begin again"
I just nod my head.
"Goodnight. I'm really tired tonight" She said in between her yawn.
"Oh, night Mel"
She smiles tiredly and went to her room.
"I'm sorry Mel. I'm sorry for lying to you" I whisper sadly to her door.
I also go to my room and I got a message from Mark.
"Night beautiful"
I grin widely.
"Night hon" I text back.

Very soon he will give her a black eye and still apologize.

Ladies try to use your head in judgment during dating and courtship. A man that wants to have his way all the time and hits you definitely turn you to a punching bag in marriage.

Say No ❎ to domestic violence.
Say No ❎ to emotional, psychological abusive.

Episode 14
Everything has been perfect except for me still lying to Mel.
I hate keeping it from her, Mel is the most honest person I know as crazy as she is.
It's been two months now, how I managed to keep it for this long I don't know.
I've been lying a lot lately, and "acting" a lot, Mark also tells me some lies to tell her.
Although I'm happy with Mark but the thought of deceiving my best friend weighs me down each time it comes to my mind.
"What's wrong with you? You are not eating"
"Nothing" I shrug.
"I know it's not nothing. Tell me"
I drop my fork on my plate.
"I think we should just tell Mel about all this. Why should I keep lying to her? It's been two months already"
Mark leans on his sit and loosen his tie.
"You know we can't tell her Rose"
"Why can't we? Why can't we tell her?"
"Because she will never understand. She doesn't want us to be together, remember?"
"Still, the thought of hiding things from her doesn't sit well with me"
"We can't tell her Rose and that's it"
"I want to"
"Well, you won't"
"Why won't I?"
"Because I say so. And I don't want you talking to Fred either."
"Why? Why should I hide our relationship from him? Why should I hide our relationship from each of our friends? He's your friend isn't he?"
"Not anymore. Just don't talk to him"
"Whatever" I said angrily.
"I just don't want to lose you Rose"
"Can we go now? It's getting late." I said totally ignoring his last statement.
Mark sighs.
"Go on, I have to pay the bill"
I go out and wait by the car thinking of the lie I will tell Mel tonight again.
This is exhausting actually.
"Hello there"
I look up and see a guy hovering over me.
"Hi"
"I'm Donald" he said pointing his hand at me.
"I'm Rose" I take his hand.
He smiles at me and I smile back.
He has an easy smile and he looks nice, you know like those people you easily get comfortable with.
"So, what are you doing here looking all lost?" He said leaning on the car with me.
"Just thinking about something"
"Really? Care to share?"
"Uh.. I don't know. I just feel miserable"
"Miserable? Why? "
"Just been disappointing my best friend lately."
"Alright. Why is that?"
"I can't really say."
"Don't worry I won't tell nobody"
"How am I sure? I just met you"
"Doesn't matter. I could be your guardian angel you know"
I laugh sincerely at that and it felt good.
It's been a while since I laughed genuinely.
"What? Don't I look like one?" He says pointing at his face.
"You look..." I said pretending to think.
"Oh my God, you are thinking about it? I'm so shocked right now. I'm like the hottest guy ever" He said looking so serious.
I laugh again.
"Seriously…"
He could not finish his sentence because someone pulled him back and punched him.
"Mark" I screamed out.
"Shut up" He shouted at me.
"What the hell man?" Donald said wiping blood from his mouth.
"You still have the mouth to talk, you fool" Mark punches him again.
"Mark stop it"
He didn't stop just continued to punch him.
Donald tried to swing back at him to sometimes but Mark was too strong and fast.
He was like a monster out for blood.
I had to do something.
I move close to them and pulled Mark's shirt.
"Mark stop hitting him"
He didn't hear me instead he pushed me angrily and I hit my head on the floor.
Damn, that hurt.
I stand up again, Mark already stopped punching him but he was still breathing heavily.
"Are... " that was all I could say before everything went black.

Episode 15
I woke up to a beeping sound and when I opened my eyes and looked everything was bright.
Am I in heaven? I thought to myself.
"Rose.. You are awake?" I heard a voice.
That definitely does not sound like God, not that I've heard him speak before but still.
"Rose, can you hear me?"
Wait, that's Mark.
I look towards the direction of the voice and I see him standing at the edge of the bed.
"What happened?"
"You fainted"
"Why?…" then I remembered what happened.
I sit up fast.
"Where is Donald? Did you kill him?"
His jaw ticked.
"I'm not a murderer Rose" he said through clenched teeth.
"Why did you hit him?"
"He was hitting on you" he said angrily.
"He was not hitting on me and even if he was that doesn't give you the right to hit him. You even hurt me in the process."
"No one told you to interfere." He said with no remorse at all.
"I can't believe you. Is that what you are supposed to say?"
"Just shut up Rose. You are getting me angry again" He said shouting.
"Stop shouting too. It's giving me headache."
He threw his hands in the air.
"Let me get you a doctor. You need to check your head checked."
"You are the one who needs to get his head checked"
He turned to me and glared at me.
"You. Do. Not. Talk. To. Me. Like.That" He said, his nose flared.
I actually cower, he looks ready to kill but I got saved when a nurse came in.
"Is everything alright?" the Nurse asked.
Immediately Mark's expression changed, it's like a Deja Vu moment.
"Everything is fine Nurse. Just having a deep conversation with my girl" He replied her with a wink.
The nurse smiled at that before she came to me.
******************************************************
I later learned I have a deep cut on my head and that a part is swollen too.
I was given some drugs and asked to rest very well.
Mark dropped me off at a corner close to my house and we didn't say a word through out the ride, no one said goodbye either.
"Oh My God, what happened to you?" Mel screamed pointing at my bandaged head.
"Oh, this" I point to my head as if I didn't know what she is talking about.
"Yes that"
I sit down and stay quiet for some minutes thinking of what to say.
"Well, what happened?"
"I.. I tripped"
"You tripped?"
"Yes, in the parking lot. I tripped on my heels, the ground was wet"
"Oh you poor thing.. Why didn't no one call me?"
"I told Fred not to. I didn't want to worry you"
"That's ridiculous, who else will you worry but me? So Fred took you to the hospital?"
"Yes"
"That's nice of him"
"Are you alright now? Do you want anything?"
"Tea please"
"Alright. Wait a bit"
She brought pillows for me to lay my head on and then went to make the tea.
I lie down thinking about the events of the day.
Mark is possessive, yes, that's why he got so angry.
He doesn't want me talking to anyone else but him because he loves me so much.
Right?
"Here is your tea"
Mel placed it on a stool beside me and help me sit up.
"Thanks" I said after taking a sip.
"By the way, how did you get home?"
"Oh.. Erm, Fred dropped me off"
"Where?"
"At that bend close to ours I didn't want to disturb our neighbors, you know it's late"
"Oh alright."
"Rest well Rose"
She started patting my back like I'm a little baby.
I slept off few minutes later.

Please point out grammatical errors for me so I'll correct them here.
Also, I'm thinking of publishing this as a stand alone and add more to it or just publish an anthology, don't know yet anyway.

Episode 16
Mark came to see me towards evening time.
"What are you doing here? Mel will soon be back " I whispered.
"I won't stay too long" He whispered back.
"Alright" I sigh in relief.
"How is your head?" He whispered again.
"Why are we whispering?"
"How is your head?" He repeated with a normal voice.
"It's fine" I replied him with a shrug.
"Oh here."
He gave me a bunch of roses and a box of my favorite chocolate.
"Peace offering" Mark said tentatively.
I just keep quiet.
"You know it was your fault Rose, you should not have interfered"
I thought about it, technically he is right.
"You should learn to manage your anger, you almost killed him, I don't even know if Donald is fine"
"He is fine. At least he could stand up by himself"
"You are not even moved by this. You almost killed him"
"He was hitting on you"
"He wasn't"
"When I saw him I just lost my mind. I just don't want to lose you"
He holds my hand in his.
That melts my heart.
"You won't. You won't lose me. I promise you that.…."
"What the hell is going on here?" A voice interrupted us.
I freeze.
I know that voice, but I still looked up to see just to know if it's not my mind playing tricks with me and just like I thought it's actually Mel staring at us.
I think my heart just fell to the floor.

I loose my hands from his immediately and stand up almost falling in the process.
"Hi..hi Mel"
"Hello Melissa"
Mark and I said at the same time.
"I don't have time for pleasantries. What is he doing here?"
"Erm..actually.."
"Actually I came to see her. I heard she's not well"
"And how did you know she's not well?"
"Well uhm... "
"Fred told him" I replied, hoping she will buy it.
"Yes, Fred told me"
We both stand there looking nervous as hell, Mel can be very intimidating when she wants too.
Mel as been giving us a blank look and then she laughed suddenly, but it's not a normal laugh.
"Do you people think I'm a fool?"
Mark and I look at each other simultaneously.
"Now I am going to ask again.. What the actual Bleep is going on here?"
I take a deep breath.
Now is the time to tell the truth.
Penshalom.

*Drum roll*
They got caught, what will happen next?
Happy Sunday everyone.
