Stranger

Luna

I didn't get up for school today, it's only the second day and he's managed to bruise me already. I don't know why he does this. I've done nothing but love and care for him.

"Luna? Are you up?" My aunt says knocking on the door lightly. "Yea, come in," She opens the door and frowns.

"Why aren't you ready?" I shrug, "I don't feel well, I think I ate something bad yesterday," She gives me a concerned look. "Okay, you can stay today," I smile and watch as she leaves my room.

My smile disappears instantly as I feel my phone vibrate.

Where the fuck are you?

I feel the tears threatening to spill.

I'm sorry baby, I don't feel well, I think I ate something bad. I'll be there tomorrow.

I send the message with shaky hands.

I'm coming over.

Oh fuck, what do I do? I don't want to see him. He knows i'm lying.

"Luna, im heading off to work, don't wait up for me, im working a double today," My aunt says as she cracks open my door.

"O-okay, love you," I manage to speak out.

I don't hear anything back and hear the front door close. I sigh heavily.

Zeke is coming any minute. I put on a bit of makeup to make it seem like i'm sick. Making my under eyes dark and rosy cheeks, leaving my hair in a really messy ponytail.

Just as I finish, I hear the door open. I calm my breathing and wait for him to appear.

He walks in and spots me in bed.

"Get up." He demands. I look up at him. He seems angry.

"I don't feel good." I whisper out. He didn't like my response and he yanks me out of bed. I whimper as his grip gets tighter on my arms.

"Do you think i'm stupid or something? You think I don't know you're faking this shit!" He screams in my face. I flinch and he shoves me to the bed.

Oh no. Not again, please.

"Zeke please, I really don't feel good, im not faking!" I try to plead. He smirks evilly at me.

"Please! No!" I scream out.

~Few hours later~

I lay there, in pain. He fucking raped me. Multiple times. My nose is bleeding, my lip is busted and I have a cut on my brow.

"You better be there tomorrow, no more lame ass excuses," He says annoyed as he closes the door behind him.

I hear the front door close and I cry out. Why am I doing this to myself? How could I be so weak around him?

All these thoughts raced through my head as I lay there, naked and in pain. This isn't the first time he's done this.

I can't move, my legs are shaky and my breathing is shallow.

I feel my phone vibrate again and I ignore it. It continues.

I finally decided to pick it up without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello, I croak out. "Luna? Where are you? Are you okay?" Sarah asks frantically. "Yeah Sarah, im fine, i didn't feel good." I whisper.

"I'm outside your house, i'm coming in," Before I could protest and stop her from coming up she's already at my door.

"Luna why- Oh my god! Luna!" She screams looking at my body. She starts to inspect my body and I just let the tears fall.

"He did this, didn't he?" I nod and cry harder. She goes over to my closet and pulls out some sweatpants and a big t shirt. I cry out again as she tries to lift up my arms. I hear a small sob come from her mouth.

"Why do you let him do this to you?" She grabs my face and looks at my state. She looks away, blinking away tears.

"I don't know Sarah, i've tried leaving him. He said he'd make my life a living hell if I ever did, and I already know he can I mean look at me!" I shout.

She holds me in bed and comforts me. "I fucking hate it here, if I knew I was going to be going through this shit, I would've just stayed home. Id be dead by now!" I sob out.

"Don't say that, i'm going to help you through this," She replies and strokes my hair.

"Please don't tell Mary or Angel," I plead. "Of course not, Angel would murder Zeke in a heartbeat. You're like his little sister," She smiles warmly at me. I nod and begin to drift off to sleep.
