Should I? [S4S Short Story]

5

"Get off me!"

I was being held down by an unknown force. My body was frozen from fear. My voice was gone, my strength was no longer there, my mind was somewhat lost.

"You left me baby. Why?"

It was him.

I thought I left for good..? He found me. He found where I'm suppose to live like an actual free person.

"You hurt me, I'm not gonna be your bitch! I found my place of happiness and I'm not gonna let you ruin it." I spat at him.

Then I felt a cold hand run down my chest to the top of my stomach.

"My first child. I knew I could get you to have my baby. I can't wait to be a family." He whispered. "Just know I'm gonna come back for you and my child. We'll be a happy family." He said.

"No!" I yelled. "No please, I don't need you! I don't want you, nor do i want you in my child's life!" I yelled still struggling underneath his death grip.

"Please.."

"Please..please, don't Terrance."

"Samirah."

"No! Shut up!"

"Samirah, wake up!"

"Go away, go away Terrance!"

"Samirah! It's Jayla wake up!"

I popped up out of my nightmare. Jayla was in front of me just staring. I looked around the room, then to my bed and I felt all over my face. I inspected my wrist and body for any marks.

Nothing.

I was sweating bullets, "Sammy what's wrong? You we're screaming and yelling some guy named Terrance to get away from you.." She said sitting next to me. "What did he do to you?" She asked in a worried tone.

Should I tell her? I mean the while situation is really how I came to even meeting her.

I sighed, "Do you know the reason as to why I was able to find out about you, grandma, and everyone on my mom's side?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Well when mom was murdered and my father was sent to jail, I was sent to live with his sister and her husband ..Terrance. At the time my father nor his family told me I had family on my mom's side. They said her family cut her off and never wanted to see her again. Anyways...I started living there and after a couple months.." I started tearing up, "My aunt started abusing me. If I did something she didn't like she would beat me...if I cussed or disobeyed her she would-" I paused mid sentence.

"She would what..? Sammy what did she do to you??" She sat closer to me.

I looked at her as I felt a tear drop. I tugged at my shirt, and she looked confused. "What?" She asked. "Pull it up.." I said.

She slowly pulled up my shirt as the cold air gazed my back, and not even 2 seconds went by and she jumped off the bed. I turned to see her face. I couldn't explain the look. She was pissed, obviously, but shocked and at lost for words as well.
