Love Is Strong

Chapter 20

Yay Chapter 20!!! (I skipped to the next morning.)

WARNING!!! There is some sexual content in this chapter but less than what was in the other chapter. I found out that it sometimes bother people when they're reading it because it's too much detail so yeah.

When I open my eyes I instantly regretted it. It's disappointing to know that all this isn't some nightmare. That it's life, reality and it's really happening. I didn't even cry when I remembered what happened last night. Crying won't make it better. It already happened, there's nothing I can do now.

Slowly a hand started to rub up and down on my arm. I didn't bother to remove it, there's really nothing to do about it. It already happened, it's already done. What more damage can he do?

"Good morning beautiful." He kissed my cheek. His voice is raspy and a little deep. Most likely from just waking up.

"Good morning."

His hand was still going on my arm but neither of us talked. Then it stops.

"What are these?" He sounded concerned.

I already knew what he was talking about. I didn't know they were still visible. I guess he's more observant than I thought.

"Nothing."

"Don't say they're nothing because obviously they're something. When did you do it?"

"A long time ago."

"Do you still do it?"

For some reason I took a while to answer his question. I honestly don't know why. I know I don't cut anymore so why didn't I answer his question right away?

"Adaieh-"

"No. I don't do it anymore."

"Why did you do it in the first place?"

What's up with all the questions? It's too early for this. He's been stalking me longer than I can think of he should know why.

"Why wouldn't I?" I asked instead.

"Answer my question. Did people hurt you, baby?"

"Yes."

Physically, mentally, verbally, and emotionally. More ways than you can think of.

"I'm sorry. For not being there for you. For not being there sooner." He kissed some of the faint scars.

This whole time I've been staring at the wall. Too afraid to move. Too afraid to see him. To look him in the eye after last night. How are you suppose to react to somebody who raped you?

"So, how are you feeling?" I can hear the slight smirk on his face.

"I wannna go home."

He laughed.

"Not that. I meant how do you feel, you know, down there? A little sore?"

I haven't moved yet but I can already tell it hurts like a bitch.

"I don't know."

"Oh. Well when it does tell me so I can soothe it for you."

So never?

"Why aren't you looking at me? Turn around so I can see the girl I fell in love with."

I took a deep breath. I don't know how much it's gonna hurt but I do know that it's gonna hurt.

I started to push myself to turn around and as soon as I move my legs, pain shot up right to my core. I frozed as I hissed. It hurts way more than what I thought it would. I hurried and pushed myself on my back. Get it over with, you know?
