For the better

Chapter 3

Christians P.O.V

I leave her apartment. I get into my car which Taylor Drove to pick me up. I need a background check on Miss Steele. Obviously something bad happened to her and she doesn't want anyone to find out, do I want to find out, if her past is anything like mine I wouldn't. But there is something about her that makes me want to come back for more. If she knows my secret she will never want to see me or hear from me again. She looked so hurt, so broken. I can't leave her now. I can't do the background check, I want her to tell me in her own time.

Ana P.O.V

I dream about him, the sleaze ball, Jack The one person who made my life hell. He still haunts me. I awaken instantly, sweat dripping down my back. Kate runs in to my room.

"ANA Are you ok?" She asks "You where screaming" She continues I feel water start to fill up my eyes.

"Why can't I forget him?" I cry. Kate comes and hugs me.

"You went through something that no one should ever go through and its not fair, but there mental scars and scars show how strong you are" She says conforting me in a warm embrace.

"Im not strong, if I was strong I would have stopped him. Im weak, stupid, worthless." I say.

"Ana you are none of those things you are a strong independent woman, you should never let this hold you back, you are beautiful, you will one day get married and have children, and you will be the best mum and wife anyone could want" She says, but when anyone asks me about settling down I can't help but feel sick to my stomach, I can't bare anyone to be too close to me it's too hard to forget what he did, the scar on my stomach is a constant reminder, he is still out there.

"Thank you Kate, your right I need to move on and forget this" I say wiping my tears.

"Ana honey you will never forget but you cannot let this define your whole life; I won't let you, oh and guess what?" Kate says and I can't help but smile.

"What Kate?" I say.

"When I was at Jose's bar I was dancing and then I noticed someone dancing with me looking I'm my eyes I mean I could melt he was so dreaming, so we went to the bar got a few drinks, and he wants to take me out, so obviously I said yes, but now here is the best part, his name is Elliot Grey" She says so fast I can barely keep up but I managed to hear 'Elliot Grey'.

"Christian's brother?" I ask.

"The very same" She says. "Alright Steele Go to sleep I am now seriously tired, but I mean it don't let this define your whole life" she continues.

"I will in a second, I'm going to get a drink, but thanks Kate" I say as she leaves my room and follow going into the kitchen and see a small business card, Christian must have left this here. I can't help but smile. I mustn't let him define me forever, I need to move on with my life.

I pick up my phone and text Christian.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on, it means a lot- Ana

I smile and head back to bed taking my phone with me when it starts to vibrate. Christian replied to my text.

You can cry on my shoulder any time, but why are you not in bed Miss Steele- Christian.

I roll my eyes and text back.

I had a nightmare, and I can't fall asleep, I'll let you sleep now, goodnight Mr. Grey – Ana

I frown and stare at the ceiling when my phone starts ringing, why is he calling me?

"Mr. Grey why are you calling me you should be asleep" I say smirking at the phone.

"As should you Miss. Steele, But now I can't sleep, did you want me to come over and keep you company" He says Don't let the sleaze ball define me.

"Yeah sure, I would appreciate it thank you" I say socked at what just came out of my mouth.

"On my way" He says hanging up. Holy shit he is actually coming over here.

Christian P.O.V

I make my way to Ana's apartment, a part of me is thrilled you found my card and texted me, i couldn't sleep any way, the nightmare are horrible for me as well. They can be so vivid. Maybe we can help each other. Maybe we can save each other.

I get to her door and I knock very lightly as I don't want to wake any moody violent Kate's.

The door Opens slowly and Ana is there, she has been crying, I can tell her eyes are puffy, but she still looks beautiful. I didn't even say hello I just barged in and hugged her. Right now she needs comfort, and no matter what I know I'm going to be the one who gets to do it.

"Ana Everything will be okay from now on, I promise you no one will ever hurt you again" I say as she buries her head in my neck, I lightly kiss the top of her head. Wow i have never EVER kissed someone on the top of the head, that shows intimacy, I don't do romance. Snap out of it grey, if you don't know romance then why does your heart skip 1000 beats whenever you see or think of her! I smile into her hair, this feels normal, I do not want to hurt this beautiful girl, and I want to save her. I need to save her. I need to be with her. I have never felt this before. This feels like Love.
