The more you’re hurt. The more you’ll change.

Quotes N’d Notes

Michelle

“What are you doing here?” I repeat, unsure of why he of all people is at my door.

“You wearin’ that sexy little number for him?” Max asks me, throwing his hand on my bedroom door and slamming it back into the wall.

I stand there in front of him, staring him down. “It doesn’t even matter because it’s none of your fucking business.”

He laughs, but not the… oh, that’s so funny type of laugh. It’s sinister, callous, telling me that he didn’t come here for a chat. Right in this second is when my heart starts pounding in my chest. I know Max, and I know what it really is that he’s capable of. The other night wasn’t the first time I’ve been afraid of him, but it was a warning to steer clear of him and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing since. Purposefully I have made it to where I’d never be in a room alone with him, there would always be somewhere around. He isn’t dumb, Max is truly the exact opposite of dumb. A criminal mastermind to an extent, he’d know better than to put a hand on me when someone else could witness it. There were few things that Reed didn’t tolerate, and harming a woman is one of them.

He clenches his fist shut, staring at me like I’m the devil. That’s when I notice the way his eyes darken, and watch as the rage consumes him. He shoots his fist out at me, slamming it dead against my cheek bone. I’m knocked down onto the wooden floor with the force behind it, trying to process what the hell is going on right now. I turn my neck from side to side, feeling the way it cracks as I move it. God, that’s going to be a pain in the ass when I go to bed.

I peer up at him from the ground, breathing in deep and heavy. I have never been more upset in my entire life. I’m furious. No – I’m livid.

“What the hell has gotten into you?” I snap at Max, watching as he paces in front of me, looking like a raging bull.

He snickers and turns around heading towards the door. I think he’s walking out, except he puts his hand on the back of the door and slams it shut, locking it so I’m stuck in my room with him.

This better not be headed in the direction I think it’s going.

I gave him every part of myself, every single thing that I thought he wanted and he doesn’t just get to take it because he wants it now.

“You’re not the one who will be asking questions, Michelle.” Max hisses out, charging towards me. He kneels down on the ground just as I push myself up. There’s no way I’m going to let him scare me anymore, my mind is telling me to fight back while my heart is telling me to get the hell out of here.
