Rejecting Your Rejection

Her Scars

'Sometimes we need to tell all about our demons in order to move forward and live our life peacefully

without constraints.'

“Hey babe, are you alright?” Dante asks Daniella while taking off the duvet and cuddle her, then pulling

it over covering both of them. He smooths 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 I are 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 there was still something that was

heavily imprinted in her mind. One of the things that keep haunting her and giving her a mental

shutdown whenever someone tries to get physical with her. It was one of the reasons why she keeps

on hating Dante when he asks for another chance.

Dante felt Daniella’s hold on his shirt tighten, he felt that there was something off about it “Dani” she

doesn’t respond. “Dani, babe” he whispers her name again this time his shirt was wet from the drops of

her tears.

Instantly he sat right up pulling her with him only to find her eyes closes as tears drop from it. He wipes

it off with his thumps tilting her chin up to level her closed eyes with his.

“Please babe, tell me what’s wrong?” he caresses her cheek “please Dani” he began to beg her.

Her eyes slowly open she interlocks it with his “Dante, I’m sorry for being weak” he continues to caress

her cheeks. “No you’re not, please Dani 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” she sobs “please promise whatever I

tell you just let it all go and don’t you even dare blame yourself for it. Please baby for me please.” He

raises her fingers to his lips and kisses it “I promise” he says.

Daniella took a deep breath “I know Cameron told you some part of my life but there was something he

didn’t tell you, something that was just mine and his to keep. Something that keeps me wanting to hurt

you even more.”

Dante wipes off another tear that drops from her eyes “Kiev wasn’t the only one who has tried to rape

me” Dante waited patiently for her to tell 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” Dante pressed on but she begs him not to. “Dani please just tell

me,” she said between her sobs.

“He tries to rape me on the day you rejected me” she cries out louder and Dante hearing it now fully

understands why she keeps on denying his rejection and left him.

“I was so scared when he found me alone in the bathroom crying over your rejection. He molested me”

she sobs

“if it wasn’t for Cameron I would have been not able to hold on anymore. 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 him back down “Dante babe please

you promise me. I just needed to let this out cause if I don’t it might be going to haunt me forever and”-

she didn’t 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 something heavy uplift off of her chest. She

held on to him tightly before pulling away and gaze into his eyes again “I love you and I won’t grow tired

of saying it” she told him. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Dani, all those nightmares you have, those painful memories I’ll chase them all away and renew them

with a beautiful one” he closes their distance capturing her lips with his.

Both were so lost in their passion that one by one their clothes were gone and once more they became

fully one again physically pouring out all their desires to one another and creating new chapters in their

life.
