Love Story

Chapter 9

He stood up and disappeared just as her door opened. She pulled the window shut turning around. It was Daddy, but she just pulled the covers back and climbed into bed ignoring the fact he was even there.

"You shouldn't sleep in your clothes Princess, you'll be uncomfortable"

"What do you want?"

"Come on Valleri, don't be like that"

"Like what!? You're the one who called me a fuck up, excuse me for being hurt by it"

"Valleri I didn't mean-"

"Oh I know Daddy, you didn't meant it right? Just like you didn't mean to hit me either? Or that time you broke my wrist, but you didn't mean that either right?" She clenched her jaw.  "But let me guess, you won't do it again right? You promise?"

"You know I do"

"YOUR PROMISES DON'T MEAN SHIT TO ME ANYMORE! YOU PROMISE EVERY FUCKING TIME AND YET HERE I SIT, COVERED IN BRUISES BECAUSE OF YOU!"

"Valleri, don't be over-"

"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME NOT TO BE OVER DRAMATIC. DO YOU WANT TO SEE THEM? IS THAT WHAT YOU NEED DADDY? SOLID PROOF?"

She got up from the bed and pulled the buttons open on her shirt holding it open.

"See them all, does that make it a little more real for you!? Did you want to add a few more, I think you missed a spot over here"

He stood up from the bed and took a few steps forward backing her against the wall. She didn't dare look away, she knew she was in trouble, especially when he got closer, she could smell the alcohol on him.

"I've heard enough"

"So what are you gonna do Daddy? Hit-"

He back handed her hard across the face, the force throwing her back against the wall.

She held her cheek staring up at him. "I think that's a new record for a broken promise Daddy, congratulations"

He grabbed her by the forearms and slammed her against the wall. She knew if she just kept her mouth shut he would walk away, but she never could.

"Did you hit Mommy too?" She flinched when his knee made contact with the bruises from that morning. She ignored the blinding pain in her rib cage as she stood up.

They stood face to face; Valleri could already feel her cheek starting to bruise.

"Are you about done?"

She just glared at him. "I won't be done until you're in a wooden box, six feet underground."

 She raised her hand to take a swing of her own but he caught her wrist in mid-air, squeezing it hard. Valleri squeezed her eyes shut as he slammed her against the wall, knowing she was really in for it. His arm pressed against her throat, she opened her eyes and he was inches from her face. His body pinned her to the wall, making it nearly impossible to move.

"Fighting back?" He smirked

She couldn't believe it, he actually smirked

"Is this a game for you!? It is isn't it? Some sort of sick twisted fucked up game"

He slammed her against the wall a third time, this time she hit her head.  She grit her teeth, she wouldn't cry, she refused to cry with him watching her, it just gave him that much more power than he already had over her.

"What did I tell you about using that language in my house?"

She said nothing just screamed in frustration trying to push him off, but she couldn't. He was a lot stronger than she was, and the position he had her in just made it that much more obvious.
