(Back to Alex)
Once I got back to Tanjiro's room he was already asleep and had finished the water like I told him to do. I filled the bowl with water and grabbed a hand towel and dumped it into the bowl, I took it to Tanjiro and placed it on the floor. Rinsing the towel and placing it on his forehead, "Tahvo, Where....No.." I look at Tanjiro and see him asleep. "Tahvo? Asian people have weird ass names." I stand up to head over to my room until a hand grabbed mine, I turn almost pulling my gun out but relaxed when I saw Tanjiro's half opened eyes. "Don't leave me alone." Huh? I really feel like I'm dating this man because I don't know what possessed me to say, "I'm just going to change and be right back I promise." He held on for a moment then let go of me, like he trusted me. I quickly get out of there and just stand at my door, the sound of people chatting was slowly dieing down and most of the chatting came from the staff in the kitchen. "That Alex chick looked hot." "Ha! She'll put a bullet in your head before you get a chance to talk to her." "Yeah the only one she will talk to is Chang, Jian and Ace." "Hey Ace why don't you give her my number? or tell her something good about me." Said the first guy. "I don't even know you and even if I did, she wouldn't care." "That's right, I heard that the last guy she was with was shot because he cheated on her with some tall white chick." "She killed him??" "Yup." Huh. I wish he was dead, but that bitch called the cops and had me arrested but obviously I got out the next day and beat her ass right after. I walk in my room and grabbed a black tank top and some black mid thigh shorts. Not even a minute later I hear a crashing sound and then a loud thump, "Please let it be the toxic ass neighbors." taking my cloths with me I head over to Tanjiro's room and find him on the floor, good thing he wasn't hurt but the bad thing was that he spilled water. "Is this what being a mother feels like?" I groaned and threw my cloths on the near by couch. "Alright, up you go." I pull him up, but he puts all of his weight on me making me fall on my back and his face on my chest. "Are you fucking kidding me?!" He then moved and put his hand on my breast and squeezing it. "Mmm, nice squishy pillow~" I panicked and I pushed him off me making him hit his head on the coffee table and waking him up. "Ow! what the hell!" He looked over at me and notice that I had moved far away from him and was covering my chest, he then looked at his hand and realized what he did. "Fuck. Look, I didn't mean to." He stood up and my heart began to race and the voice in the back of my head was telling me to beat the idiot for grabbing me, but I didn't and I just don't know why. He snapped me out of it when he took a step closer to me and that made me stand up and raise my hand, showing him to stay where he was. "It's fine, I know it was an accident so can you just go back to your bed." He looked at me a bit worried but did what he was told. I slowly made my way to the spilled water and picked the bowl and towel off the ground and looked for an other towel to clean up the mess. As I was moving around I felt his eyes watching my every move to which I tried to ignore, key word 'tried'. "Do you normally stare at the person you sexually harass?" I turn and see him turn red uttering a sorry and turning his head to the side noticing my cloths. "Your going to sleep here?" "Considering that you fell on the floor not so long ago, I don't think I should leave you alone." He stayed quiet for a while. "You're okay with sleeping in the same room with the person that harassed you?" I then patted my gun that was on my hip in the holster, "I will be fine." He froze but nodded and gave me one of the pillows that were on the bed and took out the extra blanket from under the bed. He placed the wet hand towel back on his forehead and went back to sleep while I went to the bathroom to change, as I did I couldn't help but look at my reflection. My short brown hair was a bit messy because of what happened earlier, I had a few scars but one that stood out was the one that was on my stomach. I touched it and cringed at the memory of being tied to a wall as HE had his fun torturing me, the memory of me spitting at his face making him angry and leading to this result. I couldn't believe that I trusted a man like that but then again I was sold to him by my mother and I believed every word that came out of his mouth, He always pretended to be nice and pretended that he loved me more than anyone would but he was just possessive. He wanted power over me but I never let him have it and it was to the point that he snapped and tried to take it by force. In a way I did give him some power because he wanted to be the only one to touch me and ever since that day I refused to let anyone touch me, that's why I always carried a gun with me or had one under my pillow when I slept. I stopped myself from mentally hurting myself and finished changing and went to the couch, I glanced at my gun, that was now in my hand, then at Tanjiro. I took my gun and laid down on the couch putting my gun under my pillow and my left hand next to it, ready to pull it out if Tanjiro wakes up and tries to do something. I started to fall asleep and the last thing I thought about was the fact that HE was still out there and HE was still looking for me.

*Author's note*
Hello everyone!!!! I know it's been a long time that I have uploaded a chapter for this book and to be honest I was thinking about deleting this book and make a different one that was somewhat similar, basically starting over from scratch because I didn't feel inspired to continue it and also I was lazy to edit seven chapters including this one. But I came back to editing it and decided to continue it and try my best to completing it, maybe some/most of you know that this story is different from the original one. And those of you that might stop reading because it might be too different from the OG I apologize in advance, I just didn't think it was following the description that I made for this book. I will also try my best to edit and publish chapters as much as I can, I am also writing two other books other than this one but I'm only publishing one of them on this app because the other is in the early stages and isn't going strong like the others are. The book that is on this app is called 'I am in love with Philip Willams' so you can check it out if you like, that is all I wanted to say so if you got this far thank you for reading!☺ And stay safe and please be mindful of others and wear your masks when you leave your house❤❤❤
