mattia lead me into his room, the smell of his cologne lingered, and it was soothing.
his parents weren't home, they were taking mattias little brother to a soccer game out of town, for the weekend.
it was friday, well that was the night of the party. I'm guessing it's saturday now.
"diana did that man do something to you?" mattia said while I sat on his bed, he was kneeling down to see my face.
he probably thought I was brain dead, but I was trying to remember things that happened earlier tonight.
I nodded my head, yes. i didn't want to talk.
he left the room to go to the kitchen. he came back with water and a sandwich.
"come on, eat." mattia said while handing me the food. I took the food and started to eat. I didn't realize I was hungry.
he goes over to his dresser and brings me a t shirt, and sweats.
"when you're done eating put these on." he says. he puts the clothes next to me. I look up at him and nod.
he looks at my legs, my wrist and asks "diana where did you get those bruises." "um I don't really know" I say unsure, and questioning my thoughts.
'where did I get these bruises from?'
"did that man that was following you do that?" he asks. "no" i say, knowing that it wasn't him.
some of my thoughts were coming back but there were missing pieces.
"but i am starting to remember a bit." I say while finishing my sandwich and water. "tell me what do you remember." he says coming closer to my face.
"um, I remember getting into a car with a boy that I was talking to, and." i say thinking of the next part. "and?" he says trying to get me to talk.
"and..." i say touching the places the boy touched. he tried, but I wouldn't let him. he tried to get under my dress.
he grabbed my neck, my arms, my wrist, my thighs, but I moved too much and i didn't let him, so he just dumped me on the side of the road.
i started panicking in my head. I was having an anxiety attack. I felt myself hyperventilating, and breathing faster.
tears started streaming down my face, as I hugged myself.
mattia has never seen me like this, but ever since we broke up i've been struggling.
he was a kind boy, and we broke up because I thought I was losing feelings.
but once I saw that he moved on it broke me. he was the only boy I truly fell in love with.
"diana, diana it's okay" he says as he comes to hug me and comfort me. "he tried but I wouldn't let him, that's why he left me on the road." I say crying my eyes out, breathing rapidly, barely catching my breath.
as he hugged me, I was trembling into the hug. I was too overwhelmed, too scared.
"it's okay diana, I won't hurt you I promise, you're safe now." mattia said while brushing his fingers through my hair. those words caused me to calm down a bit.
after about 10 minutes, I started to calm down. my breathing was steady, my heart was slowing down, my tremble was gone and I was breathing deeper to relax me.
mattia pulls from them hug and kneels down to look at my face. he grabs my cheeks filled with tears and looks at me in the eyes.
"diana everything is okay, I won't let anyone hurt you, okay." he said with his now soft eyes. I nodded my head.
he removed his hands from my face and I went into his bathroom to change into, something better. I looked in the mirror, and saw how my makeup was everywhere.
I grabbed a paper towel with water, since he had no makeup wipes. I took off as much of my makeup as I could, I then changed into the clothes.
I looked around to see if mattia had and extra tooth brush and he did. I used it. I looked in the mirror on more time and saw another bruise on my neck.
it wasn't as dark as the other ones but it was visible. I shook my hard and got out of the bathroom.
"hey um I used that extra toothbrush in there." I say as I look at what he's doing. he was placing blankets on the floor and a pillow.
"yeah that's not extra, it's tati's my girlfriend." he says as he looks at me.
'oh right tati...'
"right, um wait what are you doing?" I say trying to put aside, the fact that I used another girls toothbrush. "I'm sleeping on the floor you can have the bed." he says, scratching he back of his head.
"wait no you can have the bed and I'll sleep on the floor." I say. "no seriously take the bed, you've had a rough day." he says, certain that, that sentence will get me to shut up.
"okay fine, only because I don't think I have a choice." I say and I climb to his bed. I pull the covers over me, and feel safe.
"goodnight diana." he says while turning the light off. "goodnight mattia" I say as I drift off to sleep.
