Until There Was You

Lexi

Chapter 15

*Lexi*

I walk out of Liam's house wearing the same sweater and jeans outfit I wore earlier, it's funny how life can change in a few hours. When i first wore this outfit it made me feel amazing and new, yet now I am wearing it again I feel more empty and broken than I ever had before. I hurry down the drive way before Dem can notice me.

I don't want him to see me crying or ask me where he can take me when the blunt truth of it all is I have nowhere to go. I just keep walking and walking, thinking of nothing in particular because if I do all I can think about is Liam and how much I hurt him and that is too much to bare right now.

I stop to rest, my body is so tired as I have been walking for hours on end going nowhere, there is nowhere I belong. I give in to the sobs that rack my body, my life is a complete mess. I am so alone I wonder how my Mother is doing? Whether she even misses me? Obviously not because it has been two and a half years and not a peep from her. I wonder if I have a brother or sister? Do they know about me? Has she abandoned them yet also?

'Well look what I have found.' I hear an all to familiar voice that sends chills down my spine. Mike......Oh shit, how has he found me?

'You know I almost didn't recognize you there whore, with ya fancy hair and expensive clothes.' He taunts and fear won't let me move.

RUN......My mind screams but my body won't comply as he takes threatening steps towards me.

'Where's ya hot shot boyfriend now.....See through you already did he?' He laughs and my face gives away my hurt. 'Oh he didn't he, I told you I was the only one that would ever put up with you. It's a shame though, I was hoping to return the favour.' He points to his face that is black and blue.

'Holy shit Liam did that?' I wonder out loud.

'Yea ya precious Liam did this, poor Luke is still in hospital after his little hero act.'

'I didn't ask him to.......I don't even know how he found me, I swear...' I plead knowing what's coming next as he advances on me and my chance to escape vanishes. My eyes dart around looking for an escape route or somebody, anybody to help but its pointless the streets are deserted.

His fist lands square in my face, as I try to run he grabs my hair at the root and holds me in place as another blow strikes my stomach. I try to curl up and protect myself but it hurts my head to much, his grip never faltering.

'Was you going to run from me again whore?' He laughs sadistically as he throws me effortlessly to the ground.

'No Mike, I wasn't I promise Mike please.' I beg but it's all in vain as the punches and kicks begin to rain down on my body curled up on the cold pavement. I feel his fist connected with my stomach with such force that it takes my breath away and he stands on my wrist so i can't try to escape. I pray for the darkness to take me but it doesn't. I scream when I hear my ribs crack and pain racks my body it does no good though it never does, even when he squeezes my head under his foot. The blows keep coming my face, my legs, my arms that he his stamping on just like my head. Please make him stop....

I hear shouting and the blows stop, I think. My body hurts to much to move to see who it is shouting as the blackness draws closer. Finally it will take me, at last I can be free. I am ready to die, the escape from this pain will be a relief. In my mind I see Liam, I never get to apologize and say goodbye.

'Goodbye Liam.' I whisper.
