Diya's pov
Elias stayed silent as he held my wrist tightly on the walk home. His grasp was so solid that I felt like I was gonna lose circulation soon.

"You're hurting me babe" I whispered.

He stayed silent.

"ow eli- seriously"

He continued to walk, making no effort to loosen his hold on me.

"Fucking let go already!" I argued, triggered by his silence. We got to our cabin and he practically pushed me inside before slamming the door behind him, finally releasing his hold on me.

"You're being so weird Elias" I complained, massaging my wrists.

"OH AM I? WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE FLIRTING IN FRONT OF ME?" Elias started sobbing horribly loud.

I stepped back slowly- startled by his behavior. The ick was real.

"Babe what?"

"Don't fucking babe me now after you called me Elias in front of that MOTHERFUCKER!" Elias screamed at the top of his lungs like a child.

"It must've slipped out.. I swear I didn't notice... Eli you can't be serious"

Elias walked up to me swiftly, forcing me to back up into a corner. I've never seen him like this but then again- he's never had to see me around my ex until right now.

I felt myself get nauseous with anxiety.

"Oh I'm SERIOUS. You were being such a fucking WHORE." he exclaimed with disgust. His jealousy fit him terribly. It left me feeling unwanted and unsafe.

He paced back and forth in front of me, seemingly thinking.

I teared up, scared and vulnerable at the thought of nobody being near us right now. The music was so loud at the party- they would never hear me call for help. I stood against the wall in an attempt to control my shaking.

I took a small step towards the front door which caused Elias to slam his fist into the wall beside me. His fist slightly touched my face resulting in the feeling of a hot slap on my cheek.

I began to cry in a panic that he hit me- pushing him far away.

"FUCK. Y-you made me do that baby....Diya you know that was an accident, right?"

"Get AWAY!" I screamed. He brought me closer to his chest- pulling me into an unwanted hug then hauling me towards my bedroom. I tried to grab anything to keep myself grounded.

"STOP! OH GOD" I cried out in a rage while he pulled me. His strength easily overpowering mine.

"I-I'm sorry I can fix this. I shouldn't have drank so much I'm sorry. It's all his f-fault. let's just sleep. We can fix this" he repeated.

Elias held me tightly in my bed as I suffered a horrible panic attack. I hyperventilated against his body with terror. My breathing wheezing from the restraint of his poisonous arms. We stayed in that inescapable position until I couldn't do anything except sleep.
