The adventures of Ruth Artemis Little

5. fights and silly kisses

"Hey finch, come in" I say after I open the door

"thanks babe, how was your day?" He ask kindly but he really doesn't care

"um yeah good, come watch this movie with me" I say and grab his hand to lead him over to the couch.

We watch the movie for awhile until finch gets a little handsy rubbing his hands up my thighs "not now finch, I'm too tired" I say in a whisper.

"come on babe, I'll be quick" he says and he leans over me and starts kissing my neck I try to get him to stop but he just brings me forward and lifts my shirt up and over my head throwing it somewhere on the floor, but I really don't want this right now so I try to push him off again.

"finch...stop" I say and he grunts and continues to kiss me everywhere from my lips to my jaw and down my neck to my chest, no I really don't want this.

"FINCH, STOP GET OFF ME," I say as I push him off me and he stumbles back as I drag my knees up to my chest and hug them.

"you little bitch. What the fuck is wrong with you!" He scolds me like a little child

"nothing, maybe you should leave finch " I say quietly scared to wake my brother

"you little slut, if I find out you've been slagging someone else, I swear to fucking god" he says furiously as his hand comes in contact with my cheek, the sounds seemed to echo as I stare in front of me the tears threatening to fall out of my eyes but I don't let them. Not yet.

"get. out" I whisper still not moving in case he hits me again

"fuccck I'm sorry babe I didn't mean to I just got mad cause I thought you didn't want me 'cause you're having sex with someone else," he says in a quiet voice I don't remember him ever using.

"I'm tired, I need to sleep, I'll just talk to you later," I say almost robotically, I'm so out of it as I walk him to the door.

"Okay babe I'll talk to you tomorrow," Finch says and then kisses me a bit rough and I let him, not really sure what I should be doing right now.

After he leaves I lock the door and walk upstairs turning all the lights off on the way usually that scares me and I run up the stairs really fast but tonight I seem to welcome the darkness, feeling sick to my stomach I go and Lay in bed hoping for sleep to take over me so I can forget about this dreadful day.

2.59 am

...

3.00 am I stare at the alarm clock that shows the time as the minutes literally go by right before my eyes. I can't sleep. I can't even close my eyes long enough.

Fuck it I think as I grab my phone and the tiny piece of paper with his number on it.

On the fourth ring, he picks up "Hello?" His voice sounds so groggy like he just woke up

"Hi," I say in a quiet voice, the quietest one I have.

"Ruth? Is that you?" I hear him moving around in the sheets

"yeah, it's me" still using my small voice

"are you okay? ruth what wrong?" he sounds worried, a tear slips finally from my eyes.

"nothing, I..ah...I" I can't even get any words out

"hey, hey, hey it's okay where are you? Are you alright?" he says even more worried now and that makes me feel bad that I made him worry about me
