"Why are you in such a rush?" Leila exclaimed annoyingly as she tried catching up to her boyfriend.

"Because I don't want us to get there late and have the worst seats so if you could please hurry up that would be fucking amazing" he replied angrily.

"Jesus" She whispered under her breath.

Once they had reached the classroom there was a few empty seats in the middle they sat there and waited for the professor to arrive.

Okay Michael come on pull yourself together come on it's your first fucking day and you're already ruining it.
He mumbled to himself, he felt like a child who's parents dropped him off on the first day of school and started sobbing right after they left.

After a few minutes he was finally ready go inside the huge building in front of him and enter his class.

It was the first class of the day and it was pretty much long and the poor guy hadn't gotten any sleep.
He could feel his eyes slowly shutting and the noises fading but he couldn't fall asleep. No way. Not here. Because once his eyes are shut the nightmares begin and he really doesn't want to deal with them right now, but how much longer could his body possibly hold on?

He looked at the clock across the room and there was thirty more minutes and it felt like eternity, then when it was time to take notes as he slightly leaned forward to write and his body finally gave in and fell asleep.

"Dad dad i am back!!" the little kid yelled with a huge smile on his face as he entered his house, but that smile suddenly dropped when he saw his dad laying unconsciously on the couch with a bunch of alcohol bottles surrounding him.
"Dad??"
"Dad hey it's me Michael wake up please" he cried out and slowly fell down to his knees
"Uncle dad isn't waking up- please get him to wake up" he whimpered.
"Michael let's go outside" his uncle's wife whispered softly as she tried to pull him back while his uncle was calling the ambulance and standing there with a petrified look on his face.
"No no dad please" he screamed louldy with tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Mikey please baby come on" she said with her voice almost cracking.

It was happening again, the sweaty palms, the fast heartbeats, the trembling, the suffocation.

He pulled away from his desk with his hand over his chest scared and looked around to see if anyone had seen him but turns out that the class was over and everyone had already left, except for the girl he bumped into on his way here.

Great Michael you did a fool out of yourself in the morning and now you're doing it again.

"Hey eum excuse me but did you take
any notes?" He asked nervously.

"Yess i did" she replied nicely.

"Do you mind if i copy them cause i kind of fell asleep- but i i promise im not usually like that i am a great student and i study a lot and-"
He mumbled even more

"Heyy it's okay you don't have to explain yourself to me it happens don't worry" she answered with a soft smile

"If you want i can give you my number and I'll send you the notes so we don't get to our next class late" she added.

"Yes okayy and thank-you so much" he replied shyly.

Leo was waiting for her outside the classroom with his arms crossed and with the scariest stare.

"What was that??" He asked angrily

"What do you mean?" Leila replied with a confused look on her face.

"Don't play dumb with me right now Leila" he said in a scary tone.

"What do you mean play dumb what happened??" She replied even more confused

"You don't think i saw you firing with that guy right now????" He yelled.

"What??? flirting?? I was only giving him my notes what the fuck" she answered with a higher voice.

"Don't you dare raise your voice when you're fucking talking to me" he yelled as he held her wrist and slammed her against the wall aggressively causing her books to fall on the ground and ruin the small schedule she drew on one of the papers.

Her heart dropped, as her eyes slowly filled up with tears. He was hurting her, she wanted to push him away but her entire body was numb, paralyzed.

"Leo you're hurting me" she whimpered as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Yeah? well maybe next time you'll learn not to flirt with another man" he replied harshly and grabbed her wrist even tightly until she felt her bones cracking. God she wanted to shout.

Once he finally let go of her wrist he stepped on her notebooks and got out of the class.

She fell down to her knees with her wrist in the palm of her hand, sobbing and trying to collect her papers that were now teard apart and covered with tears. What did she do to deserve this? Why didn't she just listen to her mother when she told her this man was trouble, but no for once in her life she wanted to prove her mother wrong and that's how she ended up.
