(TWS: violence, blood)

Y/n and James both sat in the living room watching tv, she tried to get closer to him but he would shuffle over. is this how love is? she thought to herself while watching the show but wasn't paying attention to what was going on.

"i'm going out later with my friends" James said bluntly not even looking at Y/n's direction; this was normal for James, leave for the night and not come home till 4 in the morning. and usually when he came back he was drunk, like really drunk. his beating would get worse when he's drunk.

"hey how about you stay tonight and we can watch movies together?" he scoffed "i already made plans with my friends and Anna, you can be alone for one night" he coldly said. you knew he would say no, and of course he made plans with Anna. sometimes you thought he was cheating on you, which he probably is with Anna. but you couldn't leave. not at all. you couldn't imagine a future without him; each time you tried to leave you just thought about the future, and it was always with him. so you never said anything or asked about Anna, even if it tore your heart to pieces.

he then got up suddenly and headed for the door, you grabbed his arm pulling him back a bit "stay, please..?" you asked again, hoping he would say yes just this one time.

but instead of a response his hand collided with your face, making a loud slap noise. your face stung and your hand went to the same place where James slapped you. "i told you, you can stay the night alone you've done it before. or do i need to knock some sense into you?" he said grabbing your neck and pulling your body closer to his, his grip on your neck was tight, but not tight enough that you wouldn't be able to breathe.

tears fell down your face as you shook your head no. "thats what i thought" he let go and made his way towards the door. you fell back onto the couch and cried as James car left the driveway. this is his way of showing love, right?

present - 1:45 pm

Y/n awoke to the sun shining in her face, quickly turning her head away from the sun as she was being blinded. she soon noticed that Sal wasn't in bed, but wait, how did she get into bed? last thing she remembered was watching a movie in the living room and falling asleep.

sitting up Y/n stretched and yawned; grabbing her phone to check the time, it was almost 2 in the afternoon. surprised at how long she slept she got up and made her way downstairs.

upon arriving in the living room, Ash, Todd and Neil were sitting on the couches. "morning sleepyhead, or should i say afternoon" Ash said while smirking. "afternoon to you too Ash" you said while plopping onto the couch. "where's Larry and Sal?" "Larry said something about them going on a walk, wouldn't be surprised if they got lost" humming in response Y/n decided to get a snack from the kitchen.

she honestly didn't feel hungry, she awoke not to long ago so of course she wasn't that hungry. scanning through the cupboards and fridge she didn't find anything that interested her. but one thing caught her eye. it was a wine bottle.

lifting up her shirt, she looked at the large scar on her stomach. you didn't tell Sal about that night, as it was really traumatic. it was the night James went to jail. the night that you were able to leave that house of horrors.

the night James went to jail - 9:49 pm

Y/n was in the kitchen making a small snack for herself, hoping James would come home early. she had a bottle of wine that she wanted to try. even though she was 17 she was able to buy it at an old run down gas station.
