THERE'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE

Kabrina's pov

I open my eyes and groan as the bright light attacks me. I try to get up but my head is still banging so I lay back down.

I'm in an unfamiliar room, on an unfamiliar bed. Turning to my left I see a shirtless Tyrece asleep next to me and immediately I get Deja Vu.

The memories from last night come flushing back and I begin to panic. Last night, Terrance tried to rape me and then kill me. Diane got attacked, and Monique got dragged out of the room. I kept passing out, I remember stabbing two people.  My breathing begins to increase and it's not long before I can't control it. Tyrece wakes up and tries to calm me down.

"It's okay Kabrina your safe. Breathe slowly. Slowly dimples. Everything is okay, Dianne is okay, Monique is okay. You do not need to panic,"

After that, I began to slow down my breathing and calm down.

"You saved me," I say as I tear up, it wasn't long before I started balling in his hard chest. Tyrece only pulled me closer to him and held me.

.......

After crying so hard I couldn't breathe, me and Tyrece go brush our teeth. He draws me a bath and lets me shower. After I was done and fully clothed I went back into his room feeling much more refreshed.

"I need to speak to you Kabrina," He says seriously as he sits on the bed with me. I think to myself there was no way I could have a serious conversation with him with his sexy abs out. How was a girl supposed to concentrate?

I look up at him in confusion after staring at his abs   "These past weeks have been hell without you," He says seriously. I look at his face and notice he has a black eye and bruises all over it, meaning he had been fighting.

"If last night has taught me anything it's that life is too short. I would have killed myself if anything had happened to you, the thought of me and you ending on bad terms doesn't sit well with me. I don't care that we are not supposed to be together, I don't care that our families are rivals. I don't care about any of it I want to be with you dimples,"

I just look at him in shock as my heart thumps rapidly in my chest. I can't help but trace my finger along his bruise causing him to flinch. "Damn this came out of nowhere Tyrece im shocked the last time we spoke you were so against it—"

"It didn't come out of nowhere I have been thinking about this for the past month. I was supposed to do it much more formally at Brookfield but of course, circumstances changed," He explains. "I know we haven't spoken or seen each other in three weeks. But during that time I have done a lot of self-reflection. Firstly Kabrina I'm sorry for how I reacted when you asked me to commit to you. I was mean and horrible I shouldn't have shouted at you."

I blink at him shocked to my core. Was he confessing to me and taking accountability for his actions or was I dreaming?

"Look the reason I didn't want to be in a relationship with you was because I knew that I couldn't ever truly give you what you wanted. I can't hold your hand in public, I can't hug you goodbye. I can't kiss you, I can't even show any type of affection towards you in public and you deserve better than that,"

"It's okay you can just do all that stuff in private, I hate affectionate couples anyways," I say as I smile.

"So you'll be my girlfriend?"
