CHAPTER SEVEN: Memories
I rolled over pulling myself out of the bed, and threw on a pair of sweatpants. Harry was still sleeping, so I decided to go for a walk to get out my stress. I threw on some running shoes and put my hair in a bun. “Be back soon.” I wrote to Harry. I plugged my head phones in and blared “Tally it up, Settle the score” By sleeping with sirens. It was a cold brisk march morning, sending shivers down my bare arms. I ran about three miles and stopped in my tracks when I saw his black truck pulling down the rode. My heart started to beat fast and I could barely breath. John was back in town. A wave of memories flashed through my head, making every inch of my body cringe.
~FLASHBACK~
“John I don’t want to be together anymore!” I said slamming my locker door. I felt a sharp pain rush through the side of my face. John had hit me again. “Fine! You’re a worthless slut anyway!” He yelled in my face, slamming my defenseless body against the lockers. This wasn’t the first time john had hit me. Some days he was happy, and others he would take out his anger on me. As he walked down the halls out the door, I felt relieved but I also knew he would be back later.
3 days later
“Harmony please forgive me. I love you so much, you know I get angry sometimes. Please don’t leave me..please.” He said through my front door. “Fine.” I said opening the door. Within two seconds his lips were pressed up against mine, sending a wave of alcohol through my noise. “YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.” I said pushing him off me. “You shouldn’t have done that.” He said grabbing me by the hair. As he pulled me up the stairs of my house, I cried out for help. But no one could hear me. “Stop crying and I wont hurt you!” He said throwing me onto my bed. He unzipped his pants, and came near me. I tried to fight him off, but he was a lot stronger than me. John had taken my virginity and raped me. I laid there without looking at him, and shook with fear. “If you tell anyone what happened I will kill you.” He said spitting in my face.
~END OF FLASHBACK~
My eyes started to fill with tears and my vision became blurry. I slowly turned my head hoping he wouldn’t notice me, but it was to late. Within minutes he forced me into the passenger seat of his car, and sped off with outing saying a word.
