Helping Hand [ Sal X Reader ]

Chap . 1

Prologue -
You and your boyfriend , Alex , lived together for a couple of years . It started out fantastic , but things are to good to be true . As time went on he started to get angry easier and started abusing you. Every time you tried to leave him , he always stopped you , got upset , and hurt you more . Alex often left big bruses all over your body , but you covered them with make up , or covered it with long sleeves .
You never told anyone, about how Alex was abuseing you , because you knew he would be infuriated and you would be terrified about what he was going to do to you .
After years of it happening everything just felt empty . You just wanted to drown , over dose , or anything except be with him . You were sick of what was happening to you , but you couldn't do anything about it . You were scared of how he was going to hurt you or if he would do something even worse .

Your pov

You sat in a coffee house across from your good friend , Sal . Sal had been a friend of yours since you were in middle school . He was like a big brother to you and you were like a little sister to him .
You've never told him about how Alex was treating you because you knew he would trip out and if Alex found out be would be upset .
When Sal asked whats wrong you  normally told him a lie or some excuse. You fake smiled around him and he could see right though it .

" Y/n , whats wrong ? " he concernly asked .

" Nothing , Sal , im just tired . " You replied , sipping your coffee .

" Are you sure ? You know , if you need anyone to talk to im here . "

" Sal Im fine , okay ? "

" Fine , well I have an extra ticket to a movie . Wanna go ? "

" Yeah . Sure . When is it ? "

" at 8:00p.m . Ill pick you up and 7:00 . Is that fine with you ? "

" Yeah thats okay . "

After you left the coffee house , You walked home because it wasn't that far . When you walked into your house Alex was sitting on the couch watching tv . You walked into the kitchen and sat down in a stool at the counter . You were on social media on your phone and you weren't paying attention to anything around you .

" Where the hell have you been ? " Alex said with an irritated tone .

He put his large hands on your shoulders and your body tensed up . You were already scared , but you didnt want him to know you were .

" I was at the coffee shop "

You tried to push his hands off of you , but he had a firm grip on your shoulders.

" Who told you , you could go there ? "

" I did . Im a grown woman ! " you started to get mad .

" The f*ck did you say to me ? "

" I SAID. . "

Before you could finish you sentence , Alex hit you in the face . He knocked you on the floor and you groaned in pain. . You held your face and started to stand up. 

" Alex , Im sick of you hitting me! " You said in a hushed tone .

" And what do you think your going to do about it ? " His tone got more dark and scary .

You stood up and his body towered over yours . You thought for a moment ' What were you going to do about it ? ' There was nothing you really could do . He was much bigger , stronger and he could easily hurt you  .

" Thats what I thought "  Alex said

He raised his hand to hit you again , but you ran to your bedroom . He chased after you and you were terrified . You slammed the door and locked it .
