* Alana's POV *

I dropped my grocery bags on the kitchen counter, walking over opening the curtains to my living room. The birds chirping from outside my window always gave me hope for better. I was just glad to see another day. Sitting there looking out the window, I could feel a brighter future. That's all I had ever wanted. The key opened up the wooden door & in came my boyfriend. I had been living in Atlanta for about a year & met my boyfriend here. We had been dating for 7 months & he quickly moved me into his apartment. His name is Zahir, but everybody called him Z. All he did was gamble away all our money & get drunk. He never knew how to keep a job either. He smiled & sat down on the couch grabbing the TV remote.
Z: What you been doing?
Alana: Grocery shopping.
Z: Cooking tonight?
Alana: Yup.

I walked to the bedroom making up the bed. Walking into the bathroom putting my hair up into a ponytail, staring in the mirror. Turning on the water to wash my face, when I stood up & seen Z standing behind me in the mirror.
Z: You look good today.
Alana: Thanks. I better start cooking.

Walking out the door, but Z wouldn't move. He stood there in my way looking down at me.
Z: You know it's been a minute?
Alana: I've got to get dinner started.
Z: Why don't you take care of me first?
Alana: Why don't you move?
Z: Is you getting smart?
Alana: Move.

He moved out the doorway as I made my way into the kitchen. Pulling the groceries out the bag, Z came in the kitchen grabbing the keys off the counter.
Alana: Where are you going?
Z: Out.

With that he closed the door.

8 Hours Later...

Laying there in the bed, I heard Z's footsteps coming in. I closed my eyes to pretend to be sleeping, hoping I'd eventually really doze off. He walked into the bedroom, taking a sip of his liquor. I knew he had to be drunk, since he was almost everyday anyway. I felt him lay down beside me & he started kissing me on my neck. I turned around facing him & he kissed me. Feeling all over me, he started trying to stick his hand down into my pants. I hesitated & grabbed his hand.
Alana: No.
Z: Girl, you know this what you need. You always walking around acting uptight.
Alana: Z move.

He continued & grabbed my hands while licking the top of my breasts. I kicked him right between the legs & he slapped me.
Z: You bitch.

I ran out the house & didn't look back.
