My Dear Nightmare

Chapter Fifteen

Daniela's POV

"DANIELA!"

That pulled me away from Justin. That voice was way too familiar and had more effect on me than I thought. I slowly turned, tears forming in my eyes as I met Alexander's furious ones. I didn't know why I was tearing up; I didn't know why I felt like I had betrayed him, but I knew I felt really guilty.

Alexander race-walked towards me and then went past me. Before I could turn around, I heard the crushing sound of a nose breaking. I looked to see Justin writhing in pain on the ground, his hands cupping his now bloody and broken nose.

That just made me cry more.

Alexander grabbed my arm and pulled me out of a shop. My guilt increased when I realised Mike wasn't there anymore.

God please don't make him fire Mike.

Alexander pushed me into the car and got into the backseat with me. He looked very angry. Though I had done something that was somewhat wrong, I didn't understand why he looked so furious and disappointed.

The guilt was killing me.

I knew I didn't mean to do anything wrong, I didn't mean to cheat, and he had to know that. I just hoped he'd believe me.

"Alexander," I whispered, trying to ignore the pain that had developed in my throat from trying to hold down tears. He didn't look at me or say anything. He only clenched his jaws in annoyance. "Look, you have to believe me. It wasn't really what it looked like. I was only-"

"Shut up!" he growled, ignoring the fact that Gus was in the car. "Just keep your mouth shut!"

I buried my face in my palms and sighed heavily. It was taking everything in me not to let the tears fall. Why did he even care? This had gone all wrong. How did he know I was here? Did he follow me?

God, I would just give anything to change what just happened. Justin was right. I had lost all my virtue.

I'm such a horrible person.

The ride to the hotel was dangerously, ear-piercingly silent and it was driving me nuts, but I still didn't understand why I was feeling that way. How were you supposed to feel when you somehow cheated on someone you weren't in love with?

Different thoughts kept running through my head until we got back to the hotel. By the time we got inside, his arm was around my waist, but this time it wasn't gentle- he was hurting me. I simply looked down on the floor in embarrassment as we headed to the room.

I couldn't help but feel very scared when we were alone in the elevator. He still hadn't let go off me, so I could feel the anger radiating off from him. When was he going to explode? I hated this feeling.

We met Jason and Kathy in the hallway on our floor. They looked really worried, which they shouldn't be. I wasn't worth their care.

"Daniela!" Kathy exclaimed, moving over to me, but Jason pulled her back.

"Please Alex, just be gentle with her-"

"Stay the heck out of this Jace!" Alexander barked. He pulled me some more then we got to our room. He opened the door, pushed me inside and entered. He shut the door then the volcano erupted.

"What the hell was that?!!!" he yelled.

His anger scared the nuts out of me and I couldn't help but feel very vulnerable. "Alexander you have to listen to m-"

"I don't have to do anything. I warned you about this, and you didn't listen. Why the heck would you cheat?"

I didn't want to burst into tears in front of him, so I tried my best to calm him down. "Look, I didn't cheat okay."
