I woke up expecting to feel pain, but feeling nothing at all. He had hurt me, again, but this time was different. Although I was covered in bruises and my lip was oozing warm blood, I couldn't feel anything. I was numb. I grew to be used to pain being inflicted on me, my relationship ruining my sense of what love should really be like. He had hurt me but I loved him, it was always my fault. At least, that's what I thought. I heard his heavy footsteps coming down the stairs and I wiped my tears away, he couldn't see me crying, he may see me as weak.
"Babe, Addison look at me." Colt sounded sorry, as he normally did after he'd hurt me.
"Baby, baby please-please look at me, I'm sorry baby I-" he began to sob softly. This happened often as I was used to the different stages he went through after he'd beat me. He'd let his anger out on me and I'd forgive him, every damn time.
"Can I just-can I just get up please?" I asked as I stood up, regaining my balance along with the soreness I had in my limbs.
"I need to go, Colt, I have work." I whispered not wanting to anger him in any way, in fear of his temper.
"Yeah, of course sweetie please, know that I'm sorry, I was drinking and-"
"And your temper got the best of you again. It's alright, baby." My voice was low, whisper-like due to the fact that my throat had been kicked last night during my boyfriend's episode last night. He always had a dark demeanor, but it had been getting worse and worse, and I don't know if I could handle the way he showed his love to me any longer.
