Scarred Love

Chapter 12

Christian pinned me against the wall and punched the side of my face. What had gotten into him? This was not the man who I fell in love with. "Who was that in the fucking car!" He yelled.
"Get off me" I replied and burst out crying. He tried putting his hands on my throat but I sucessfully pushed him off me. I walked to the door and opened it. He must've been crazy if he thought I wouldn't leave him. "Baby, I'm sorry! I'll never do it again" He yelled as a single tear fell down his face. I stormed out of the house and as I walked down the street I realised something. This was the man who was crying like a child over me. This was the man who made me smile and laugh even when I was sad or mad. This was my babies father; therefore, I couldn't leave him.

I turned around and walked to the door again. He was now sitting at the front of his house while un-welcomed tears raced down his face. I walked over to him and he pulled me into a tight hug. He looked up at me and smiled. "Thank you for giving me another chance, I promise I will never do it again" He said and kissed me. Was this really the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with? It wasn't fair for me to have a boyfriend who abuses me but it was also not fair for my baby to grow up without a father because I knew exactly how it felt to have your father turn on you.

The side of my face was still stinging and I was pretty sure that I had a giant bruise on my face. I didn't want anyone questioning me about it, so I would just have to apply some foundation on it or something. I knew everything was gonna be okay in due time. We just had to fix some things in our relationship and we definitely had to set some boundaries. Never was I going to let him put his hand on me like that again; it was just not fair.
