Fall ~ Harry Styles

Chapter 35

Scarlett's POV: 

My heart rate was accelerating at an alarming rate as my emerald eyes looked round the all too familiar room. The room was dim and I could barely see anything as I woke up, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. I heard a loud clattering as the front door opened loudly, banging on the wall as it was pushed open by him. He'd been drinking. I heard him clambering up the stairs and he began making his way over to the room where I was.

The door was flung open as he stood leaning against the wooden frame a disgusting smirk on his face. He walked over to me as I lay on my side still peering up at him, daring my eyes to meet his. His hand rose towards my face making me flinch as he stroked my cheek. He then pushed my shoulder towards the centre of the bed now lying flat on my back. He mounted the bed straddling my body as he leaned over me threatened by his previous actions towards me.

"Stop" I whispered.

"Why babe, do you not want this? Because I know I do!" he murmured against my neck biting and scratching with his teeth.

"No, stop!" I said even louder.

"What's wrong Scarlett, are you scared?"

"No, I just don't want to...stop being a dick" I said without thinking. Oh god no, please no.

And just like that he punched me right in the face forcing me to scream out in pain as my head whipped to the side.

"What did you just call me?" he said glaring at me.

"Nothing, I didn't call you anything" I said in fear and panic.

"Yes you did, you LIAR!" he shouted aggressively and giving me yet another punch as his anger spiralled out of control. Many bruises being added to the ever growing collection on my weak body.

He pushed me out of the bed making me roll onto the hard wooden floor, my shoulder taking the impact. I gritted my teeth in pain and forced myself to stand upright. The world started spinning as the quick movement caused blood to rush straight to my head. I turned towards the door instantly, my body forcing me to try and escape.

"Get the fuck back here now Scarlett" He raged stumbling towards me.

I jerked the bedroom door open running towards the front door, and as expected it was locked. I quickly did the first thing I could think of, I hid. I clamped myself behind the sofa, softening my breath so he couldn't find me, hopefully in his usual drunken state he'd pass out before he found me.

"Scarlett, where the fuck are you?!" He shouted, his voice trembled with anger making me sink further back behind the sofa. I stayed silent. 

"Oh so you want to play hide and seek huh? Just remember Scarlett, I always win, always." His patronising voice got closer and closer, my breathing increased in fear, my hands trembling. Suddenly two large feet slammed in front of me and a very angry male peered down at me. His violent rough actions unexpectedly dragged me up against the wall, pushing on my shoulders. 

"Stop please, I'm sorry" I said through clenched teeth trying to prod him away. He dug his nails further into my skin making me gasp in pain. I squeezed my eyes closed when he grabbed both of my wrists and pushed them harshly against the wall. The left one made an audible crack causing me to scream out in agony. I craned my neck around in attempt to let my now broken wrist free, but he jerked his shoulder onto mine so I was inevitably trapped. 

"Trying to leave me huh? Think I better teach you a lesson, you know I don't like it when you disobey me sweetheart" My body jumped in fear, shit.
