Chapter Five | Punishment |

Levi sat in his truck and watched every step she took. Once she closed the door, he watched her peek her head through the window next to it.

He needed to stop being so protective, but how could he? How could he do such a thing after hearing and reading what Trent had said to her? What if he had been hurting her this whole time?

He immediately thought about her being in pain the whole time. "She would be smart enough to leave him if he did put his hands on her." His mind traveled back to the time where they would play fight when they were younger. Every attack he made, she would return. Anytime he would pin her down, she would fight to get up.

"Hell, we still do that- and we're fucking adults." He chuckles to himself. It's only natural she would leave him if he was hurting her...right?

But still, his intuition was biting him at the moment. He had to check up on her. It hadn't been too long, and he said he would leave after she went inside, but he felt he just had to. Something wasn't right.

Once he called, she immediately picked up after the first ring.

"Hey, is everything okay?" He mumbles. "I know I said I'd call later but my gut is saying something isn't right. Are you-"

He stopped mid-sentence when he heard a loud slam.

He heard a brief rattle sound, which was the phone being dropped on the floor from her utter shock. The man stood before her, only with pants on and his hair a mess, sweat beads on his flawless skin. Her eyes quickly darted behind him to see a beautiful blonde woman getting dressed.

"T-Trent..."

"Why the fuck are you here?!" He yells.

The blonde woman scoots past Trent and shoves herself past (y/n) to walk out of the house.

All Levi could hear was static and yelling as he watched a woman walk out of the haunted front door.

"Who the hell is that?" He asks himself. He eyes the woman as she takes her phone out to call someone, probably to come and pick her up.

The phone was still static and the voices sound very far away.

"Who is she? Why is she here? Why were you-" She was interrupted as Trent grabbed her by her throat with one hand, pushing her against the wall.

"Oh her? This has been going on for a while? Why? Because I'm sick of you. You never do shit right and you never let me do anything other than kiss you! She actually lets me touch her!"

She struggled to breathe, attempting to spurt seemingly meaningless apologies. Only her breath was caught, her heart strings were pulling and feeling as if they were going to burst.

"You're lucky I haven't tried forcing myself on you...maybe I should do that. You took too much of my time this last year, It's only fair I get it back."

He swings his arm and connects his rough hand with her cheek.

"Please stop!" She screams.

"I don't like doing this, you practically make me. Hah, it's like you're asking for it."

"When will I ever be good enough for you? I have always tried my best to make you happy and it's still never enough!" She sobs, clutching her shirt where her heart beat seemed to spasm in pain. "And you've been...with someone else...the entire time..." She drops to her knees and hits the floor.
