Tessa's POV

I'm running to my room and I lock the door after me. What the fuck is wrong with me? Why he had to call me Theresa and I freaked out? I freaked out because of my past. My stupid past. I can't tell anyone about this. They will change the opinion about me and I don't want to risk to lose my job.

"Tess, open the door please. I'm sorry. I just stop calling you Theresa. Please, forgive me."

I can't open the door right now. In my mind is running that moment. The moment I almost lost my life... My first relationship was a disaster. I thought Noah was the one, Noah was everything to me. Everything was so good in our relationship, until he destroyed every piece of me...

Flashback

A year and half ago...

"Theresa, come on, sleep at my place."

"Noah, I can't. I have a lot of read for college."

"Just one night. You can have a break one day, Theresa."

"But I'm leaving early in the morning. Ok?"

"Deal."

I haven't any idea what was going to happen that night...

We arrive at his place. We're together for six months and he wants more, but I can't give him anything. I'm not ready to have sex with him.

"How was you day?" He says while he touches my thigh.

"Good. Yours?"

"I had better days." He moves his hand higher.

"What are you doing, Noah?" I take his hand off.

"What are you doing, Theresa?"

"Noah, I can't..."

"Why not?"

"I'm not ready."

"You are ready, Theresa. I can feel it." He pushes me back and he is over me.

"Noah, I said I'm not ready!" I try to push him off me, but he's stronger than me. "Noah, please."

"You are saying this for over six months. It's time to take care of you." He lifts up my T-shirt.

"Noah, stop!"

"You are mine, Theresa. And I want you." He bites my neck and it hurts.

"Noah, please..." I say almost crying.

"I will have you, now. Don't try to oppose because it will be worse."

"Noah, if you love me, you will let me go."

"No." He moves his hands to my pants.

"Noah! Let me go!"

"No way, Theresa. We will have fun."

"Noah, please!"

"Shut up or I'll hit you."

I shut up because I have no idea what he can do. I look to the left and right and I see a vase. It's my chance to escape from his hands. I take the vase in my hand and I break it of his head, point that makes him to lose his balance and I can run from the couch to the kitchen.

"Fuck you, bitch!"

What I do now? I can't run because he is much stronger than me and he will catch me. My phone! I take out my phone from my back pocket and I call 911.

"What emergency do you have?"

"My boyfriend wants to rape me. Please, send a police car here! I beg you! Please! I need help."

"There you are, little piece of shit. What are you doing? Who you called?" He is really angry.

"Ma'am? Are you there?"

"Noah, please... Don't hurt me, please."

"Did you call the cops? Fuck you little bitch! Come here!" He takes my hand and he squeeze me hard. "Say that it was a mistake. Now!"

"Leave me alone!"

"Theresa!" He slaps me and then he takes my phone and throws it on the floor.

"Noah, please! Let me go." I say crying!

"No way, Theresa." He hits my face harder and I can feel blood from my nose.

"Don't do this!"

"I wanted to fuck you, Theresa. That's all!" He drags me to him and I take a knife from the table.

"If you don't let me go, I'll stab you." I direct the knife to him and he starts to laugh.

"You are too shy to do this."

"Watch me!"

I say crying and I stab him under his heart. He fails on the ground immediately and he closes his eyes. What did I do? Oh, no! No! No! I... I stabbed him... I sit down next to him and I check his pulse. He is breathing and his pulse it's ok. I hear the police and in a way I breath in relieve, but in another way... what if they'll arrest me? Oh, no!

"Ma'am?" A cop enters in the kitchen. "Oh, God. Send an ambulance at Kenney Street, 5. We have a stabbed man."

"He... he wanted to rape me... I didn't do anything. I didn't want to kill him." I say and I feel like I'm hyperventilating.

"Ma'am. It's ok. It was self-defense."

"I... I killed him?"

"No." He check Noah's pulse.

"He wanted to rape me here... and he was angry because I called 911 and..."

"Miss, calm down. Everything will be ok."
