"NAW, naw, naw. I need you to tell me again."
"Tell me again."
"Tell you what?"
"Tell me why you did dat. Why you did dat J?"
"Huh?! Talk. You was doin all that talking when you was talking shit. Talk now!"
"I'm sorry...Elijha."
"Oh. Oh now you sorry. You sorry now?!"
"Yes. I didn't mean to do that. But you lied to me. Again."
His face is enraged.
Anger.
Annoyance.
Dislike.
Hate.All for me.
"The next time you go through my shit. I'm fucking you up. You hear me?"
"Hm? You fucking hear me?!"
Teeth are clenched and my scalp is burning.
I'm forced to look at him.
He looks like a complete demon.
Devil.
Evil.
"Didn't you cheat on me too?! Huh?! You did right!? You did"
"But when I get back, it's a problem."
I shake my head, only for him to yank it back still.
"Really?" My voice is beyond shaken, I could hardly even speak as I stare back at him.
I don't cry.
I haven't she'd a tear in years.
"What?!"
"You talking back to me...while I'm talkin!?"
"Hm?"
Yanked up with such force and then slammed into a wall, falling into the couch, the pressure of it sinking underneath me, while he gets on top of me renders me still.
