Rejecting Your Rejection
Her Scars

“Sometimes we need to tell all about our demons in order to moveforward and live our life peacefully without constraints.’

“Hey babe, are you alright?” Dante asks Daniella while taking off theduvet and cuddle her, then pulling it over covering both of them. Hesmooths out her hair with his fingers waiting for her to reply.

“Yeah I'm fine now" she snuggles closer to him on his chest “Zoe and Iare cool now, no grudges against each other. All is in the past now”He chuckles at that “I'm glad you guys did” he kisses her forehead.Even when Daniella have already made amendments with Zoe yet therewas still something that was heavily imprinted in her mind. One of thethings that keep haunting her and giving her a mental shutdownwhenever someone tries to get physical with her. It was one of thereasons why she keeps on hating Dante when he asks for anotherchance.

Dante felt Daniella’s hold on his shirt tighten, he felt that there wassomething off about it “Dani” she doesn't respond. “Dani, babe” hewhispers her name again this time his shirt was wet from the drops ofher tears.

Instantly he sat right up pulling her with him only to replace her eyescloses as tears drop from it. He wipes it off with his thumps tilting herchin up to level her closed eyes with his.

“Please babe, tell me what's wrong?” he caresses her cheek “pleaseDani” he began to beg her.

Her eyes slowly open she interlocks it with his “Dante, I'm sorry forbeing weak” he continues to caress her cheeks. “No you're not, pleaseDani don't think like that” he rested his forehead with hers. Tell me,what's going on with that pretty mind of yours.”

She held his face into her hands “promise me you won't get mad” shesobs “please promise whatever I tell you just let it all go and don't youeven dare blame yourself for it. Please baby for me please.” He raisesher fingers to his lips and kisses it “I promise” he says.

Daniella took a deep breath “I know Cameron told you some part of mylife but there was something he didn't tell you, something that was justmine and his to keep. Something that keeps me wanting to hurt youeven more.”

Dante wipes off another tear that drops from her eyes “Kiev wasn't theonly one who has tried to rape me” Dante waited patiently for her totell him more.

“Our school janitor tries to rape me too when I was fifteen” she sobs“why do I feel like this has something to do with the rejection” Dantepressed on but she begs him not to. “Dani please just tell me,” she saidbetween her sobs.

"He tries to rape me on the day you rejected me” she cries out louderand Dante hearing it now fully understands why she keeps on denyinghis rejection and left him.

“I was so scared when he found me alone in the bathroom crying overyour rejection. He molested me” she sobs

“if it wasn't for Cameron I would have been not able to hold onanymore. He was the one who found and saves me on that day.”

He was to jump out of bed when she grabs his wrist quickly pulling himback down “Dante babe please you promise me. I just needed to letthis out cause if I don't it might be going to haunt me forever and"- shedidnt finish as he pulls her tightly into his arms.

“I am sorry” he keeps on muttering to her

They both cry into each other's arms, Daniella finally felt somethingheavy uplift off of her chest. She held on to him tightly before pullingaway and gaze into his eyes again “I love you and I won't grow tired ofsaying it” she told him.

“Dani, all those nightmares you have, those painful memories I'll chasethem all away and renew them with a beautiful one” he closes theirdistance capturing her lips with his.

Both were so lost in their passion that one by one their clothes weregone and once more they became fully one again physically pouringout all their desires to one another and creating new chapters in theirlife.
