Zoe's POV

I walked down the stairs in nothing but an oversized t-shirt the moment I'd woken up. Terry was already awake and gone from the space beside me on the bed. I tiptoed down the corridor of our flat. I wanted to make him jump.

It was already 1 o'clock because i had a lie in. Before going into the kitchen i sent a text to my best friend Millie.

..................................................

...................................................

I placed my phone slowly onto the desk cramped into the small hallway. I could smell food from the kitchen and peeped my head slowly around the chipped doorframe. Terry had his back to me facing the stove where he was cooking breakfast.

I crept up behind him unnoticed.

"RAAGAGGGHHHH" I screamed at the top of my lungs as i grabbed onto his back.

"Fucking hell!" Terry swung round and his clenched fist struck me across my cheek. I fell back onto the floor with a loud thump, landing on my wrist, making my bum go numb.

"What the hell?" I questioned him my heart beating fast in my chest. I think I'm gonna throw up. My wrist freaking kills.

"Dont fucking do that" Terry glared at me as he towered over me.

"It was a joke!" I tried to laugh whilst i held my cheek in pain.

He kicked my in my shin making me squeal out loudly.

"Shut up!" He yelled through gritted teeth.

My heart picked up pace and i used my hands to crawl backwards away from this beast in front of me. Tears were stinging the corner of my eyes. Im terrified. He walked towards me and leant towards me slowly. I grimaced and squinted my eyes in fear.

He laughed in my face. Before spitting angrily down at me. He stormed out and i heard the bathroom door close a few minutes later. I blinked, the tears exploding out down my face as i still lay on the floor. I used one arm to pull me up from the sofa as my wrist hurt like hell and there was no way i could use it. I stood up slowly and limped towards my car keys as fast as i could.

I snatched my keys and phone from the desk and jumped towards to door trying not to make a noise. I need to get my self to hospital something is not right.

The bathroom door shot open and Terry ran towards me yelling. I ran with both legs despite the pain in one of them from his harsh kick. I tried to close the front door of his flat but he forced it open. I ran across the gravelled drive crying and screaming towards my car. I opened the door as i felt strong hands grab me fiercely around my waist and pull me towards them.

I held onto the car door handle with one hand but i wasn't strong enough. Terry pushed me to the ground my chin hitting the ground with a smash. Terry grabbed my legs angrily and dragged me away from my car. I screamed loudly as the gravel scratched at my back harshly. I used all my strength and kicked my feet right into the place it hurts with all my anger. He let go of my legs groaning. My legs flopped down onto the ground with a thud as i watched him clutch his area and stumble to the floor.

I stood up shaking and hobbled to my open car before he could catch me. I drove away from his flat as quickly as i could towards the hospital. The tears let go and drenched my oversized T-shirt. I was in so much pain and could taste blood in my mouth from where it has dripped down my face.

I limped into A and E till crying as the lady behind the desk's mouth flew open as she ran around the counter towards me. I was lead straight to a doctor immediately.

I had caught a glimpse of myself in the reflection of my car when I'd gotten out, and to say the least i didn't look a pretty sight.
