It was happening again.
Rachel was back in her office, pinned to the floor, Stuart towering over her. She was screaming, but no sound was coming out. No one could hear her.
"No one will ever love you; you'll always be a filthy little whore"
The words hadn't come from Stuart's mouth this time.
She turned her head to find Eddie standing in the corner of the room. He repeated the words over and over again, no matter how much she begged him to stop. Every word was like a knife to the heart.
She shot up in bed, drenched in sweat, her cheeks damp with tears.
"Rach?"
Her head snapped over to the door at the sound of his voice. She hadn't noticed that Eddie had poked his head round the door to check on her, having heard her cry out. She felt guilty for waking him.
"I'm ok, sorry" she whispered
She lay back down, closing her eyes involuntarily, giving into sleep once more. Eddie quietly shut the door, heading back to the spare room.
