Lights

Chapter 5

Harry:

I sit in the arm chair, watching her sleep on the couch, she looks so peaceful yet so hurt. I will kill the mother fucker who did this to her and trust me, he will regret it.

I cover her with the blanket better as I make my way to the table, her floor is now spotless. I swept up the glass and discarded it and I cleaned up the blood.

I sit down at the table, checking my phone "7:22" I notice her phone on the table. I know I shouldn't but I do.

I grab her phone, opening it and going to her missed calls, none. I look through her recent messages for a threat, none. I look at her photos and notice a 1 hour video.

I look over at the couch before pressing play. I can't see anything but I can hear everything, I don't recognize the voice of the man but I recognize hers.

"How dare you ruin everything I had going! I had a perfect job thanks to your father and now your ending it all!!"

Hazel breaks down in tears, the sound of her sobbing in between the sound of his skin forcefully on hers.

"This isn't how it was supposed to happen, we were supposed to leave this place." She finally speaks up for herself, but that was short lived.

Bam. Another hit.

"PLANS CHANGE HAZEL GET OVER YOURSELF!"

Bam, bam. Another hit.

Tears streaming down her face start to burn her skin. The feeling in her body becoming numb.

"Please! Calvin please stop!"

CALVIN! Calvin fucking laid his hands on her!!

"You think you can get out of this easily, then you're wrong. This all your fault!"

Loud crashing sounds through, silence for a couple of seconds. Then the horrific sound.

Hazel begins to scream, scream as loud as she can, scream until her lungs give out.

"PLEASE! Calvin James stop! You're hurting me!! HELP! HELP! HELP!" Her screaming turns into loud crying, before more hits come her way.

She becomes silent, only the sound of her sniffling is left until nothing at all. She passed out, he made her pass out. No wonder she looks so bad.

I hear the shuffling of feet "shit." Calvin's voice rings out before I hear a slam of the door.

The rest of the video was silent, only activity left was when she woke up and turned the video off to call me.

I squint my eyes closed, attempting to shake away the video, her screams playing in my head.

I knew Calvin was bad news, I've heard things about him and I've been in quite a few interactions with him myself, he just didn't know it was me.

Who knows how long he was hurting her before the video, obviously he did or else she wouldn't have started recording.

I should never had let Hazel go that easily, yeah, I was pissed she left and walked out like everything that happened meant nothing.
