Hey guys! Welcome to this story, I hope you enjoy this. It's not my first story, but it's my first story where I'm actually going to try!
Clarissa Fray wondered if what she was doing was right.
She knew she liked him a lot, but she didn't know if this was right.
Clary had know Sebastian since she moved into the house next door when she was ten. And they hit it off right away. Through the divorce with Clary's dad to Sebastians grandmother dying who he was especially close with, after which his dad walked out on his mom.
But she stil wasn't sure how she ended up here. Because they went from casually dating mostly testing it out to standing on the aisle at a rehersal for their wedding.
But now here she is, standing in the aisle of the place they'd be getting married in less than fourty-eight hours. She figures she's just having pre-wedding jitters and shakes it off.
Two days later she ends of marrying her bestfriend, and they go on their honeymoon with is super romantic. But when they get back Sebastian is a little weird. She shakes it off and six months into their marriage Sebastian's mother suddenly dies of a heart attack. He starts coming home drunk, and becoming aggressive. That's where we're now.
"Honey come here," Sebastian says with that sickly sweet voice, that sounds so innocent that Clary falls for it everytime even though she knows what'll happen.
She walks over hoping it'll be different this time. As she's walking over, he grabs her arm so tight it leaves bruises the next day, and pulls her down next to him.
He grips her chin and starts kissing her agressivly. He shoves his cold tounge inside her mouth and starts to touch her all over, tearing her shirt. She can taste the alchohol on his tounge and on his breath. But she still doesn't resist because she knows worse will happen if she does. She just submits to him. Gives up control of her body completely and lets him get what he wants.
When he finally leaves her sitting in a corner completely naked hugging her knees to her chest till she can breathe normally again. When she can she gets up slowly because of her hips and goes to the bathroom to see the condition of her body. Finger bruises along her neck and arms. Some others on her chin.
She sneaks into the bedroom to get her phone. When she does, she sneaks back to the bathroom to avoid waking him up. When she checks the time, she realises she has to get ready to work.
She works at a small time diner called "Coffee Joe" in a smallish town.
As she gets ready she tries to hide the worst of the bruise with concealer. Leaving the ones on her arms alone because the makeup will rub off anyways and no one will even care.
She gets into her plain uniform, a black skirt and a button up shirt. As she looks in the mirror she puts her dark red hair up into a messy bun. Because it's too tangled to even mess with now, Sebastian had a hair thing.
Clary freezes as shes gathering up her stuff for work, when she hears Sebastian get out of bed. He walks up behind her and hugs her. He whispers into her neck sweet nothings, he also says to have a good day. Then he just walks back to bed, and falls back to sleep.
This is why Clary couldn't bring herself to leave him. Because of moments like this. She feels tears welling up in her eyes but refuses to let them fall.
She wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, lets out a wavering sigh. Stands up straight and grabs her bag, she then just walks out of the house.
Acting like nothing in the past eight hours had ever happened.
Welcome to her life.
