Can't Keep A Promise

Chapter Seven

Promise Point Of View

I smiled touching my diploma my mom sent me. I'm just a little upset I couldn't walk the stage with all my highschool friends . I did get a lot of gifts and presents from the hospital.

" Promise whea my food?" Rico asked as he came in the kitchen making me turn around.

" It's on the table " I said and he went to look at the food . The morning sun was shining through the window and it was a rainy day. New Orleans can be a little bi polar with the weather sometimes.

" Promise , this shit cold " Rico said as he tossed it to the side.

" Then warm it up. The fuck I look like? A fucking chef ? " I said scoffing and getting off the kitchen counter. Rico grabbed me by my shirt turning me around and picked me up by my collar. He threw me to the wall causing me to slightly scream. My back started to hurt as my head pounded.

Rico..

" All I do for you and you do me like this"

Rico walked close to me and pulled me up. He wrapped his hand around my neck and started to choke me causing me to gasp for air. Rico lead me out the kitchen and into his bedroom. My eyes started to get low as my hands clawed at his hands for air.

He threw me in his bedroom and slammed the door shut. Rico closed all the curtains and blinds as I cried on the floor.

" Get out your clothes " Rico said.

" No " I said bluntly and he grabbed me by my shirt , yanking me towards him. I kicked my feet as he ripped my white shirt off my body leaving red marks on my arm. My tears slowly ran down my face as he ignored my screams.

He snagged me out my pants and he ripped my bra and panties. My whole outfit I wearing was ripped into shreds.

" Rico , what the fuck are you doing ? Stop !" I screamed while I was covering myself.

" Shut the fück up " He yelled causing me to pause as he held his fist up. My whole body flinched and paused as he got up.

I thought he was going to hit me.

He went into the closet and pulled out a belt. I quickly got up and tried to run in the bathroom and got snagged back. Rico started to whip me across my back and across my body front causing me to scream loudly. My chest was turning red and started to develop bruises as he cracked the belt over my stomach.

Rico threw the belt down as I covered my breast and laid in the fetal position with my feet curled up. He turned me over and looked at me in my eyes. His brown eyes stared at mines as he hovered over me watching my eyes drop tears from side to side. His shirt dangled as it felt like his soul was falling to his eyes.

" Rico , don't touch me " I said lowly as his hand wiped over my body. He picked me up by my arms causing me to wince.

" Owe , my fucking god that hurts " I cried as he touched my wounds and laid me on the bed. It was purple bruises all over my dark skin body and it looked ugly. Everytime I moved , there was this pain.

" Hmm , you so beautiful baby" Rico said as he licked his lips staring at my body.

" I guess beautiful is you hitting me and making me look like a fucking blueberry huh ? " I yelled and he laughed like a lunatic.

" Say another word " Rico scorned as he  grabbed my titty nipple and started to twist it. I grabbed his hand and he let go. I started to cry all over again as I touched my nipple and rubbed it.

" Mom , I'm alright. I'm not running from anything " I said through the phone and Rico was laying on my torso sleep.
