Please stop

4. I love you.

When we arrived at his house we walked in. When we were in his room he sat down on the bed and pulled me in between his legs.

"You know I love you right?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Good. I don't know what I would do without you. I would die. So don't ever leave me." He said looking me in my eyes.

God I wanted to believe that but I couldn't. I just couldn't because he would say these things then beat me until I was almost dead. You don't do that to someone you love. You protect them not hurt them.

"Then why do you hit me?" I asked as my eyes started to tear up.

"You just make me mad sometimes. That's doesn't mean I don't love you." He said tightening his grip.

"I-I know." I said as a tear dropped from my eye.

He pulled my head down and kissed me. We stayed there kissing for a bit. He broke the kiss and picked me up. He brought me downstairs into the kitchen. He set me down. I walked over to the fridge and pulled out supplies to make sandwiches.

Liam sat down and watched me make our sandwiches. They were just simple turkey sandwiches. When I was done I handed him his sandwich on a plate. We ate silently.

"What do you want to do? We could watch movies or play a game." Liam said.

"Let's watch movies. If that's okay with you." I said nervous that I picked the wrong option.

He nodded and walked into the living room. I have no clue why he's being so nice. But I'm scared that any second he's going to snap. He laid down and I sat down with a some space in between us.

"Come here." Liam said patting next to him.

I laid down next to him cautiously with my back against his front. Once I was comfortable I leaned into him enjoying his warmth. I don't care if this is fake. I miss it.

He rubbed his hands through my hair massaging my head. A single tear rolled down my face. He picked up the remote and started scrolling through the movies.

"Want to watch this one?" Liam asked.

"Sure." I said.

Liam chose the movie and cuddled up behind me. I don't know how to feel. I am still so in love with him. But he hurts me so often. I wish I could talk to other people about it to get their opinion or their help but I can't. Truthfully I don't know if I can escape. I'm attached to Liam. It would hurt leaving but so would staying with him. I keep dreaming of my happy ending but let's be honest I don't get a happy ending.

I started slowly drifting off to sleep.

~Flashback~

"MOVIE NIGHT!!" I yelled jumping on to Liam's lap.

He rolled his eyes playfully and picked me up as i wrapped my legs around his waist. He brought me over to the couch and got up to grab the remote.

He sat down and picked me up and set me on his lap. I had the biggest smile on my face.

"What movie?" Liam asked me.

"A scary one. Do the conjuring." I said knowing I would feel safe as long as Liam was with me.

He searched up the movie and started playing it. 30 minutes into the movie I was already burying my head into Liam's chest. He wrapped his arms around me in an attempt to make me feel less scared. Which did work a bit.

After the movie was over Liam tried to go to the bathroom.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To the bathroom." He said.

"You can't leave me. I'm scared!" I said with a sad face.

"I knew it was a bad idea to watch a scary movie." Liam said laughing as he sat back down.

I snuggled my body back into his. He rubbed my back while I fought off sleep. I failed as I was soon met with darkness.
