8:19am.
i quickly got out of bed before miles could wake up, making my way downstairs. everyone was having breakfast & i made my way over to the plates. i was drowsy, being that i had a hard time going to sleep because of what miles did last night.
ignoring everyone's gaze on me, i quickly sat down & forced myself to eat. "is everything okay, y/n?" kate asked from across the table. i kept my eyes on my plate before replying. "yes, kate. why wouldn't it be?"
she cleared her throat & picked at her bacon. "you usually come down with miles..." she mumbled. i internally rolled my eyes & continued to eat. "ah, mornin." quint grumbled as he stumbled into the room. he stopped beside me & reached over to get a plate. "did you sleep well, darlin?" his gruffly voice said beside my ear. "fuck off." i lowly replied.
he stopped what he was doing & glared at me, "what did you say to me, young lady?" he asked. he brought his dirty hand to my shoulder & i shoved it off, getting the attention of everyone at the table. "I SAID FUCK OFF, FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" i yelled at him.
"ms. l/n! what's wrong?" mrs. grose asked me as i glared at the dirty man in front of me. i turned to her. "quint has brainwashed miles! last night miles hit me! look!" i pointed to my bruised cheek & everyone gasped.
"quint is that true? did miles hit y/n?" flora cried from across the table.
"nonsense, that boy has a mind of his own! i didn't do anything to him!" quint argued back. i got up to run to my room that i rarely used, but quint had grabbed my neck & pinned me to the table. "QUINT!" kate & mrs. grose screamed as they tried to stop him from choking me. i gasped for air & felt like i was going to pass out, my vision closing in. i heard more screaming & felt quint go limp before falling to the side.
it took me a minute to regain my composure, coughing & trying to catch my breath. miles leaned down to me & held me to his body as i cried.
"WHAT HAPPENED?" he screamed at kate.
kate shook her head, "don't talk to me like that! did you hit y/n?!" she glared at him. i felt miles shake his head. "NO! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!" he basically screamed out. i jumped at the sudden outburst & he coddled me closer to his body, wrapping his arms around me. "why would you ever think that?" he asked in a calmer manner, breathing heavily.
"that's what she told us!" flora cried before running off up the stairs. i looked over at quints unconscious body lying on the floor. "i-is he dead?" i cried out. miles shushed me & ran his fingers over my hair. "no baby, shhh. he's just unconscious." he whispered to me.
"let's go upstairs..." he told me, trying to pull me to my feet. "no! absolutely not, I'm not letting you be alone with her!" kate walked up to us but miles pulled me back. "i just want to talk to her alone!" he spat at her. kate looked down at me for conformation & i nodded, letting her know i was okay with it.
she stepped back & miles grabbed my hand, leading me upstairs back to his room. he locked his door & brought me to the bathroom. he sat me down on the toilet & examined my neck before his gaze shifted to me cheek. "is this from quint too?" he asked, pointing to my cheek. i stayed silent & he knelt down on his knees in front of me, "y/n?"
i blinked rapidly to stop myself from crying.
"no." i answered truthfully. "who is it from then?" he asked me. i shrugged & avoided eye contact but he grabbed my thighs softly. "why did kate ask me if i hit you?" he whispered & started caressing my thighs.
i inhaled sharply & shook my head. "because you did?" my voice wavered. miles' eyebrows furrowed & he had an uneasy look his face.
"miles?" i asked, watching as he slowly backed away from me. "miles what's wrong-"
"-i think i'm gonna be sick." he mumbled before reaching over to the tub, throwing up. i looked away because i felt like gagging. the boy continued to hurl & i brought my knees up to my chest. after a minute, miles sat up & turned to look at me. he wiped his mouth & tried to catch his breath. "i'm sorry, y/n. i'm so fucking sorry. it must've been when i was drunk & didn't realize what i was doing. i swear i would never hit you sob-" i crouched down to him & hugged him. he wrapped his arms around me & buried his face in my neck, murmuring apologies.
"i think there's a way i could forgive you." i whispered to him. i pulled back & we made eye contact. "even if you forgive me- i won't be able to forgive myself." he told me, shaking his head. "can you do one thing for me?"
"of course! i'll do anything for you, y/n!" he eagerly said. i looked at his face, his hair was extremely messy & he looked dead. "stop hanging around quint & stop getting drunk." i told him, grabbing his cheeks so he couldn't look away.
he sighed & nodded, "i love you. i'm so sorry. i'm fucking sorry-" i quickly pressed my lips to his, forgetting that he just threw up. whatever, i love him so it'll be fine. i pulled back, "all is forgiven if you fire him off the estate." i watch miles nod eagerly.
boom bow that's how you fix that.
