Broken

Dark Memories Turned Bright

I pulled up to CJ's and took my mum to the door. We knocked and CJ answered and brought my mum inside. Then he came out to the car and grabbed both bags while I grabbed Toby. We went upstairs  and went into CJ's room. "CJ can you go show my mum where she can sleep? She had a rough night." He nodded and took my mum's bag and led her down the hall. I sat on his bed and scratched my five month old pup. It's a weird story how I found him.

                                                                   *****Flash back*****

I ran outside and sprinted threw the pouring rain. My make-up smeared by a mixture of the rain and my tears. I kept running and running trying to get those images out of my head. I was laying in bed reading a novel I've been working on for 3 days. When my door opened. I flicked my eyes to the door. "Hey. What do you want." I asked as he walked through the door. He didn't answer me, instead he turned around and shut the door, locking it. I sat up a little straighter and held a straight face. My eyes were half way closed and my jaw was clenched. I learned how to make myself look tough. Inside was different though. My heart was beating faster then I ever felt it, and my mind was telling me to run. I just stayed there and let out a bored sigh. "Come here to hit me again? Go ahead I'm used to it." He just quietly walked closer to me. That's when I saw the silver flash behind his back, and my eyes went wide. I jumped up and bolted towards the door, but he grabbed me before I could turn the knob. He pushed me onto the bed and pinned my arms down with his knees. I couldn't move. He ripped off a piece of duct tape and put it over my mouth so I couldn't scream. I glared at him and tried to keep my body calm. He took out the knife from behind his back and looked at it lovingly. He turned his eyes back to me and smirked. He used his free hand to rip my shirt open. The next thing I knew he was digging the knife into the top of my breast. Tears rolled down my face but I didn't move. I just clenched my eyes tight and waited for it to be over. Soon I felt his weight lift off my arms and chest. I opened my eyes and watched him walk to the door and unlock it. He opened it and walked out. Before he closed the door he turned back to me and mouthed three simple words, 'I own you'.  That's when I passed out. I woke up a few minutes later, my sheets were covered in blood. I peeled my skin away from the sticky fabric and walked to my bathroom. I turned on the light and took my shirt off. My mouth hung open when I saw the sight in front of me. He had carved a small heart into my left breast. I jumped to the toilet and vomited up everything that was in my stomach. 

                         I kept running as those three words ran through my mind. 'I own you. I own you. I own you.'  I ran to the park, and went straight to the creek.  I sat down in the shallow water and cried into my hands. My chest still hurts and I tried to wipe some of the blood away. My skin is too tender to touch and a shot of pain shot through my body when I tried. I gasped and closed my eyes letting my tears fall. I sat there for about an hour when I heard a small whimper. I looked through the moonlight trying to find the source. My eye caught two little green eyes in a bush on the other side of the river and I walked to it. I knelt and it crawled out to me. A baby Bulldog no more than two months old stared up at me. I picked him up and ran to CJ's.
