Scars

It's Over

Alex wakes up in a dimly light room, her head pounding, lying down on a bed. She looks around the room but doesn't find much. She sees a chair in the corner, a table on her side, and a door. Alex moves to the door only to find it locked from the outside.

"Goddamnit." Alex says in frustration failing to open the only exit in the room. The door opens and Josh appears. He has a vile grin plastered across his face. Shadows appear on his stomach revealing that he is shirtless. She backs away from him.

"Hello beautiful." Josh says as he steps into the room and shuts the door behind him. He grabs Alex by the waist before she could go anywhere, and leans in close, his hot breath on Alex's ear. "Do you have any idea what I want to do to you?" Josh purrs. Chills run up and down Alex's spine.

"You can't hurt me." Alex says with a little tremble in her voice. Josh tilted his head and smiled. Alex looked at him with caution. Knowing how Josh can be, she had to be cautious with everything she said or did. Saying or doing something even a little remotely out of place could send Josh through the roof. Living with him for several months, Alex has learned that he has a serious anger issue. Also, when he sets a goal, he carries out that goal no matter what he has to do, even if that means hurting others along the way.

"If I can't hurt you then what happened earlier huh? It seemed to me that you were hurting when I was taking care of your little love candy." Josh pressed his body closer to Alex's. His hot breath quickened.

"He has a name you know. The decent thing you can do is to call him by his name." Alex said growing irritated by Josh's actions.

"Oh no, the decent thing I can to is this." Josh's lips collide with Alex's. Alex was taken by surprise and stumbled back. Josh was misunderstood by her actions and took it as an invitation for something more. He shoved Alex onto her back on the bed, her head hitting the pillow. Josh positioned himself in a way so she can't move her legs. He forced Alex's hands above her head with one hand while tracing her body with the other. Aggressively, his lips trail down her neck.

Completely ignoring what she told herself about being cautious, Alex tries to move her hands away. Josh's grasp tightens, his knuckles turning white. Arms stretched above her head, Alex feels the wooden headpost of the bed. She grabs onto a piece of the wooden post and holds on tight. Josh's hand finds it's way around her back and up her spine. When his fingers meet her bra strap, she pulls with all her might. The bed creaks but doesn't give, Josh not noticing. As Josh's fingers work their way to unclasp the hooks, Alex pulls hard once more and the wooden board gives. SNAP!

The bedpost breaks away. Josh lifts his head in surprise and his grip loosens. Alex brings the split board from above her head down into Josh's collarbone. Josh screams out in pain as blood drips from his neck and onto Alex. He rolls off of her and collapses onto the floor. She stares at Josh. What did I just do? Alex thinks to herself.

"You bitch! You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into!" Josh yells at her, a pool of blood surrounding him on the tile floor. His breathing became raspy, voice grew hoarse, "No matter what you do or where you go Alex, I will always be with you! I will be there in your dreams. I will be on your eyelids every time you close your eyes. You won't be able to get rid of me!"

Alex, attempting to ignore Josh who is bleeding out on the ground, she gets up and starts towards the door. With a key left in the lock, she turns the knob and the door opens. Before leaving she stops and turns to Josh.

"You were never going to win this. A person isn't something you own. A person is someone who loves you for who you are. Pure love. You don't need to talk often, there needs no lust. Just each other and the bond you two grow. You support each other in the choices you make. Josh, I loved you but you never loved me back. You hurt me not only physically but also mentally. I am not your pawn anymore. Threaten me all you want but from the looks of it you can't move. I'm done with you. Goodbye Josh." Alex turns on her heel and marches out the door in search for Anthony.
