We pull up outside the most exclusive art museum in Los Angeles.
" Oh my god ", I whisper
" You said you love art so I may have gotten us tickets "
I can't help hugging him.
" Thankyou ", I say grinning like a madwoman.
He chuckles as we walk in.
That night I spend hours admiring the famous artworks.
" This ones my favourite ", Rhys says when we stop in front of a painting of the night sky.
" It's beautiful "
" Where I grew up the night sky was so beautiful and even now I try to live as away from the city as I can so I can see it ", he says
" I remember when I was younger my sisters and I all shared a room I'd paint on each of our drawers on mine I'd paint stars, on Nesta's fire because well if you ever meet her you'll understand and flowers for Elain because she's just so innocent and gentle but for me I always drew stars because they are just so captivating "
" They are "
Eventually we decide to leave, only when I'm half asleep and tipsy.

Rhys
" I had a great time tonight Feyre "
" So did I " she says " It was nice to get out of that house away from Tamlin "
I realise then she's a bit more than just tipsy. Too much wine.
" Why's that "
" He's insufferable sometimes ". She says " I love him but things just aren't the way they used to be "
" Why "
" He treated me so well now we get into fights about the stupidest things and it's honestly terrifying sometimes "
That's when I become concerned.
" Are you afraid of him Feyre "
" I don't know ", she says " Sometimes he's perfect and others it's like he's an entirely different person but he's becoming less perfect and more horrible "
I notice the shadows under her eyes now her makeups come off a bit.
" Feyre how drunk are you right now "
" Not enough ", she says " What time is it "
" Just past midnight "
" Shit ", she says " He can't know I was with you "
" Feyre darling it's going to be ok "
I see the terror in her eyes. My heart breaks for her.
" I'm fine ", she says her tipsiness disappearing.
We pull up outside her mansion.
" He isn't home yet thank god ", she exhales running her hand through her blonde hair which must be dyed looking at her roots. Her grey eyes meet mine.
" Thank you for tonight Rhys I haven't had a night this great in a long time"
She looks like she's deciding something and must decide against it.
She goes to get out.
" Feyre would you like to go out again sometime "
She looks at me for a moment before finally saying " Yes I would "
I can't help the genuine smile that crosses my face which then fades as she walks back into that mansion.
She loves Tamlin.
My heart falls.
Tonight was just a one time thing, even if we both want to go out again, Tamlin will always be in the way.

Feyre
The next morning I wake up with a hangover.
I'm lying in my bed. I vaguely remember pulling my shoes off and falling into bed.
That's when I jerk upright. I'm still wearing my dress from last night and my makeup.
Tamlin would be home by now.
Hopefully he went straight to his room.
He deemed it appropriate for us to have our own space so maybe he didn't see me.
Hopefully he didn't.
I change into one of my horrid floral dresses and wash my makeup off.
I walk into the lounge room.
"Good morning how did last night go ", I say as innocently as possible.
I go stone cold at the look on his face.
" Watch the news ", he says quietly.
I sit down robotically. He can't know about last night. Can he?
Hollywood news comes on. I see the perky news reporter with a smile on her face before turning to her coanchor.
" Alright so last night Rhysand was seen on a date with Tamlins girlfriend and rumoured fiancé Feyre Archeron "
Photos come on the screen of Rhys and I at dinner then at the art museum.
Tamlin turns the tv off and throws the remote across the room.
" I'm sorry ", I quickly say
" Did you sleep with him ", he growls
" No Tamlin it wasn't a date we are just friends and I'm friends with his cousin Mor we met through her, Tamlin I love you I'd never do that "
" Bullshit ", he says before throwing a chair across the room. The sound of splintering wood makes me flinch.
" I'm sorry ", I choke out.
" You are not allowed to see him again understand"
" Yes "
That's when another photo of us comes up. We're both smiling and hugging.
Shit.
He turns to me before shoving me violently against the wall. His hand around my throat.
" Tam please your hurting me ", I gasp
" Screw up one more time and your done ", he breathes before releasing me and stalking away.
I don't move from that wall only fall onto the floor clutching my aching throat.
He hurt me.

Sorry this is short I've been busy lately but the next chapter should be up soon. I've finished ACOWAR and I'm planning on writing some one shots. And the next few chapters will deal with issues like domestic violence so it may be triggering to victims of it.
