Alaska
She stands there as I walk away. A few minutes later I arrive to my apartment, dreading going inside. I unlock the door, and he stands there, waiting for me.
"Took you fucking long enough." He says moving towards me. He grabs my arm and I could smell the alcohol. "Are you cheating on me?" His warm breath hits my ear as his grip on my arm tightens.
"N-no,"
"Don't fucking lie to me bitch." He throws his beer bottle and it shatters, a piece of glass hitting my cheek and cutting me. "I'm gonna ask you one more fucking time Alaska and you're gonna tell me the fucking truth. Are you fuckimg cheating on me?" I flinch as he pushes me against the counter.
"I'm not." I say quietly.
"Fucking liar," his fist hits my face as he pushes me.
"Adam stop." I cry.
"You fucking lying ass bitch." He screams throwing a bottle at me. I grab my phone and run out before he could do anything else. I'm on the street, blood running down my face, and peoples stared at me like I was insane.
I dial the one number I know can help me and wait.
"Hello?"
"Ashley please come get me." I cry looking around me to see if he followed me.
"Where are you?" I could hear her shuffling on the other side.
"I'm near the park just please hurry." She hangs up and a few minutes later, I hear running footsteps. I turn and see Ashley. She grabs me and hugs me not saying anything.
"Let's go to my car," she says guiding me. She drives me to her house, not saying a word. We get inside and she takes me to the bathroom. Not asking what happened, she cleans me up, taking the broken bottle piece out of my face. It hurt like hell.
After she finished, she put a bandaid on and helps me down the counter. She hands me a glass of water as I sit on the couch, she joins me, wrapping her arms around me. We sat in silence.
"I want to do it." I say my voice breaking.
"Are you sure?" She asks.
"Yes I don't want to be here." I say shaking.
"I promise, I will keep you safe."
We packed, and before I went into her car, I got a call from Matty.
"Thank god you're okay? Where are you? I went to your house yesterday to talk to Adam and he was gone. And so were you."
"I'm leaving." I say
"Where?"
"I have to go." I hang up the phone. I join Ashley in her car and she drives off. We sit in the car for a while and I fall asleep only to wake up from the sound of her voice.
"Hey, were at a hotel." I didn't move so she got out, opened my side and picked me up bridal style. She carried me into the hotel.
"Hi, Ashley Frangipane? I reserved Room 93." She says in her raspy voice. She gets the keys and carries me up the stairs and into our room. Placing me softly on the bed, she puts a blanket on me and kisses my forehead.
"I love you." She says quietly.
She thought I didn't hear her.
But, I did.
