"DAMAGED" - (Dolan Twins)

YOUR P.O.V.

I'm finally free, Romeo can't hurt me anymore. I'm moving to Los Angeles and pursuing a career in music. The cab finally dropped me off to my new house.

All my furniture was set up and all I had left bring was all my clothes, makeup, toiletries, hair stuff and my guitar. I paid the driver extra to help me carry my suitcases and bags into my living room,

"Thank you so much", I say,

Handing him the money and a $20 tip. I took my suitcases and took them to my new bedroom. I put my clothes away into the closet and my shoes into the cupboard underneath. I took a break and decided to order some food. When it finally got here, I opened the door,

"Bellanie Hunt?", he asked,

"Yes, thank you", I say taking my order,

Just then, I see a baby blue car pass by and park in the house next to mine, he must be my neighbor. I snap back to reality and paid the delivery guy, before going closing the door and walking back inside my house,

GRAYSON'S P.O.V.

I was getting home from another meeting, when I see someone, who might be my new neighbor.

She was about 5'7, dark curly brown hair that reached the middle of her back. Her lips were rosy and full, but what caught my attention was her eyes, there was just something about them.

I snapped out of it and got out of my car and headed inside.

YOUR P.O.V.

After hours of organizing and decorating my room, I decided to take a bath and get ready to go to bed since it was about 9:00 pm already.

~DREAM~

I was tied to a chair, crying, bruised up and on the verge of collapsing,

"You really thought running off to L.A. would keep you away from me?", Romeo mocked,

Poking my the side of my head harshly,

"Please stop", I mutter barely able to hold my head up,

To which he grabs my face making me wince,

"You're still mine you piece of shit", he growled inches away from my face,

He then grips my throat tightly and started kissing my neck, while I started screaming,

~END OF DREAM~

I woke up crying and gasping for air. This wasn't my first nightmare, but it still feels real. I hate how I can't have just one night of peace. Yay for me,

NEXT DAY

I woke up and decided to go on a jog before breakfast. I put my hair up into a ponytail, threw on a sports bra with some leggings and a jacket, then laced up my shoes. I left the house and started jogging around the neighborhood, it wasn't too hot outside, which was perfect for me.

I passed the park and the lake, which was a pretty far run, which took about 30 minutes. I got back to the neighborhood, when my phone got a notification. I pulled it out of my pocket to check it out, it was from my cousin who lived here. As I was about to reply, I knocked into someone, causing me to fall,

"Watch it dumbass", he warned,

I look up to see who it was. He was tall, had a strong built, figure and piercing greenish eyes, wearing one dangly earring. I knew right off the bat, he was an asshole, but he was hot,

"Well, sorry", I apologized, rather sassily,

Getting up and dusting myself off,

"You never watch were you're going ?", he asked with an annoyed tone,

"It was an accident okay? No need to be rude about it", I explained,

He scoffed, rolling his eyes, seriously?

"What is your problem?", I asked, getting rather irritated,

He looked back at me,

"You", he said simply,

Getting closer. I'm not going to bullshit, I was a little intimidated, but that isn't going to stop me from defending myself.

Just then, I hear the door to his house open. I see someone who looked IDENTICAL to the asshole I was talking to, what the hell is going on?

"Grayson!", the guy at the door yelled out,

Causing him to turn around,

"What?!", he yelled back,

"Get your ass inside the house now!", he order,

He took a deep breath, looked back at me for a moment, then went inside, shoving past, what I assumed, was his brother. The other one came out to talk to me,

"Hey, I'm really sorry about my brother", he apologized,

"Is he always like this?", I asked,

"Yeah, but, I don't blame him", he explained,

I looked at him intrigued,

"Some shit that happened in the past", he continued,

"Hm figured", I replied,

"I'm Ethan by the way", he said,

Offering his hand for me to shake,

"Bellanie", I introduced myself,

Shaking his hand,

"I'm guessing you're the new neighbor?", he asked,

"Yup, right beside ya", I explained,

"Well, If you ever need anything, I'll be right next door", he said with a genuine smile,

"Thanks Ethan", I say,

"It's fine if you just call me E", he explained,

I laughed,

"Well, E", I say,

He laughs,

"It was nice meeting you, not the best circumstances, but", I say,

"I know, sorry again by the way", he says,

"It's fine, really", I assured him,

"Well, we might have a pool part tonight, I know it seems forward, but, you seem nice", he said,

I smile at him in awe,

"That sounds weird I'm sorry", he apologizes,

"No not at all!", I say,

"As long as you don't try to kill me", I say,

"Oh, a pretty face like yours needs to stick around longer", he blurts out,

Making me blush and look down,

"That was stupid, okay, I guess I'll see you, bye", he says,

Quickly leaving. I shake my head and start to head home,

I see Grayson from the window leaning against the wall, staring me down. I would call him a creep, but oddly enough, I didn't mind. I just ignored it and left.
