"When I was on, when I was on stage and I was thinking of......I felt like I-I-I know, I know him, though and I know that I know his heart and I know what he wouldn't do to hurt me. But I didn't realize that I-I feeling so confident and feeling so great about myself and then it would just be all completely shattered by one thing....by something so stupid. But then, y-you make me feel crazy, make me feel like it's MY fault! I was in pain."
"Why are you doing this to me?" she asked herself, covering herself with her arms, shielding her tears as they poured onto the floor of the apartment she shared with him.
He'd hit her. He'd hit her again. His career had taken off but when it started to stall due to his erratic behavior, he began to abuse her when he just couldn't abuse himself anymore.
"You know why.... Fuck, Selena! I told you not to go messin' with me behind my back! Trying to ruin my music career or what's left of it....Trying to spy on me with my friends....Trying to ruin my ideas! I do think, you know!"
"Well, I know but---" As Selena spoke somber with both arms folded, another slap came upon her.
"SHUT UP!!", Justin screamed at her. He slapped her across the face, though she was only trying to help. He was losing it. He didn't know whether he was making himself more crazy or making his poor girlfriend go crazy. Either way, he abused both himself and her when she dared try to speak to him. And this was going nowhere....
"I told you NOT to GO THERE!! YOU KNOW THAT! HAVEN'T I DONE ENOUGH!?" Justin raised his voice at Selena, causing her to sob and pour tears from her freshly beaten face. What little beauty was tainted by the red marks left on her face by his fist!
"Justin, I-I didn't---", Selena tried to speak again but her empty sad words were interrupted again
"Don't even try it, Selena!!", Justin screamed at her, pointing his finger at her in his anger and rage. "You know what you did wrong!", he shouted at her again. "Always mocking me, always trying to fix up into something I'm not! I'm a grown man, not a work in progress!" His insanity was beginning to get the best of him.
"I know--!", Selena tried to speak her words but Justin wouldn't give her the chance.
"Well, WHAT DO YOU WANT!?", Justin screamed at her, waving his hands in rage.
"Justin, I was only trying to help!", cried Selena, whimpering from her tears and pain.
"Well, stop trying, okay?! Because it's never going to work! Nothing is going to work, EVER!!"
"You like this relationship?", Selena spoke up, shedding one single tear in sadness.
After Selena said that, Justin stopped waving his hands in the air and turned around to look at her. Dead silent, he was furious for what she had said and started to attack her. Moving towards her, he grabbed her by her long brown hair and began tugging it violently, causing her to shriek in pain. With one fist in her hair clutching it madly, he then used the other hand to slap her across the face. Gritting his teeth and biting his lower lip in rage. His messy blonde hair becoming more messier as he started hurting her. Grabbing by her hair, Selena tried to speak up. "Justin--!", as she spoke, Justin landed another hard SLAP across her face and began beating her across the arms, neck and face with his fists. "Justin, S-STOP!!", as Selena spoke again, Justin landed another SLAP across her face and then, still clutching her by her hair, he grabbed her arm with the other hand and threw her onto the floor of the tattered apartment they shared together. (Inset: picture of their apartment, roughly except the couch is grey instead of green and the pillows are white)
"STOP! JUSTIN, STOP!", Selena cried out to him, begging him to stop hurting her but every words that came out of her mouth was silenced by a slap across the face almost instantly.
"QUIET! I need you frightened! I need you hopeless!", Justin screamed at her, pulverizing her with his fists, while still gritting his teeth and biting his lower lip in frustration and rage. "WHY?!", Selena cried out hopelessly. "SO YOU CAN FEEL MY PAIN!!!!", screamed Justin hitting her.
"GOD!!!!", Selena screamed out trying to shielded herself his hits but it was useless. Broken and battered, she sobbed and cried hysterically as her boyfriend abused her, towering over her on the floor of their tattered apartment.
What's sad is the apartment was already tattered to begin with, for the constant abuses left the apartment in a mess, much like his mind and her world.
What's even sadder.....this WASN'T the first time he hit her.....
He'd done it over and over again.
He hurt her and this time he was just getting started.....
