Chapter 2

Marissa: I didn't understand who this strange man was, or why he thought he could just ask me to marry him? "Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling. He glanced at me."The question is if you'd marry me or not-which I know you will" The arrogance in his tone made my skin crawl, I wanted to just get out of the car. I yanked the car door open, desperate to get out. I felt a strong grip on my hands. "Sit down" His voice was low, calm but commanding, it made heat flow through me- anger, shock and something else I couldn't quite understand. But I sat with no fight -I just sat. He released me,took out a sheet of paper and started scribbling. "My number is on it, for when you change your mind. Which I know you will." My jaw clenched. I wanted to slap his face badly. I just took the sheet of paper and stepped out of the car. I could feel his eyes on me while walking away. I didn't look back. I refused to. I stood at the door, hesitant to knock... I couldn't face my sister -she had always warned me about Justin, I always had my defense card on whenever she tried to say anything about him. I knocked. immediately I saw Camille , I fell into her arms,she didn't ask any questions all she did was embrace me. It felt like she sensed my pain before I even said anything. "Are you okay" she asked softly. I didn't know what to say- I knew I wasn't okay I just nodded and decided to retire to my room. I sat on my bed hands over my mouth, I didn't want my sister to hear my muffled crying...I don't know if I can ever heal from this. I looked in the mirror, wiped off my makeup which had already smeared down my face from all tears. I peeled off my dress and shoes then I dragged myself to the bathroom. I didn't realize when tears filled up my eyes, my body felt empty, it felt like I lost my soul... " I hate my life" I whispered I let the shower run through my body and I got out. When I stepped out,I heard my Camille call my name. I sighed. I didn't feel like talking but knowing Camille she wouldn't let me be sad all by myself. I changed into something comfortable and I went down to meet her. "Hungry?" she asked while searching my eyes. "I'm not hungry" I said avoiding her eyes. "You are going to eat, she said firmly. I spent hours cooking, so you will eat" She damn well meant every word. I was hesitant I didn't know if I wanted to tell her everything that had occurred today, but I decided to... If something terrible happens to me, I wanted my sister to know. "Justin cheated on me with Peyton" I said it straight away, I didn't want to have to think about it too much. "What???" She snapped " I saw them at the party" I didn't realize when tears started to stream down my cheeks. " I'm so sorry Marissa, that jerk and that bitch never really deserved you." I tried to see if there would be any I told you so moment, but she did none of that. That gave me a bit of a relief. " That's not the only strange thing that happened today." I said and I could see my sister's curious eyes waiting for me to tell her what I meant by that statement. "What other atrocious thing happened Marissa?" " A strange man asked me to marry him" " What ??" She said but this time she wasn't fuming. It sounded more like excitement, "He gave me his number and said to reach out when I am ready." "Soo have you reached out to him?" " Camille please, I'm still nurturing my pain, why would I reach out to a man I don't even know" " Well the man you know, cheated on you so you might as well try." Camille paused. " I didn't mean it like that" I stormed out of the kitchen, by the time I got to my room, my thoughts had betrayed me- drifting me back to the strange man from earlier. He was undeniably handsome, but something about him intrigued me
