Scars of the Past

Chapter Seven

I slowly backed away but his arm grabbed ahold of my wrist before I could stop him.

"Where have you been you filthy whore?!" I slowly took a step back.

"Nowhere, I swear," I said trying my best to not give away the fact that I was at a club drinking and then going over to someone's house whom I just met.

Now that I think about it when I'm not drunk, that was a stupid move. I mentally face palmed and took a reminder to never to that again.

Mike is going to kill me if he ever finds out.

Not long after Mike stood only a few centimeters away from my face. I gulped as he spoke that one word.

"Liar."

Then he charged at me and the last thing I remember seeing was his hands around my throat as my vision began to blur until the only thing in my vision was darkness.

~*~

I woke up and quickly scrambled to sit up checking my surroundings. Great. I'm in the basement yet again.

I decided to sit back down to rest considering I probably needed it due to my run down with Mike. I got out my phone which I was glad that I still had, I guess he forgot that I had it.

As soon as it turned on I was welcomed by the phones bright screen. I went to my messages and was surprised to see that I had thirty-one. The first few were from Claire.

Claire: Where the hell are you?!

Claire: I'm worried, please call me.

Claire: Are you ignoring me? :(

I frowned at the text but then looked to see when they were sent. I gasped and put the hand that wasn't holding my phone to my mouth.

1 week ago.

Damn.

I fiddled with my phone trying to hurry up and reply to Claire's text. So much for promising her that I wouldn't fall off the face of the earth again.

Me: I am so so so so sorry Claire that I didn't tell you. I am currently out of town for the moment.

I thought about what I said before pressing send and not even a minute after I got a reply.

Claire: Omg don't do that again. You scared the crap out of me. You promised you wouldn't fall off the face of the Earth again!

Me: I know and I'm really sorry. Please forgive me.

Claire: Fine but next time this happens I'm going to your house to make sure you are okay.

Me: Okay. :)

I pressed send and went to the other messages that I had. Calvin. Calvin texted me. I immediately opened up the chat to see what he said. Is he worried as well? Wait, how did he even get my number?

Calvin: You feeling okay?

I smiled at his text before typing my response.

Me: Yeah I'm fine, I just left town for a little bit. Why do you care?

I then realized how rude I must sound at the the end so I quickly typed once again.

Me: Not to be rude or anything.

His response was instant.

Calvin: Oh well, I'm glad you are okay and I cared because I consider you a friend. :)

Me: As do I and thank you. :)

Me: Oh and where did you even get my number?

Calvin: Your friend gave me it. :)

Me: Of course she did.

I then went back to my other messages and was surprised to see a text from Drew.

Drew: You okay princess?

Me: Yeah I'm fine, just left town.

I waited a few minutes before I got a reply. I felt my heart stop at I read over what he said.

Drew: You are lying to me princess.

How could he possibly know.

Me: No I'm not now I gotta go.

I sent the text before turning my phone off to be welcomed back to the darkness of the basement.

I then closed my eyes engulfing myself into a sleep with the nightmares that awaited me.
