Chapter 31

Alyssa

I finally decided to sit down and talk with my dad about what happened between my ex-fiance and I. I have never been this afraid of talking to my dad but I know he is so crazy about us and I'm just scared he'll do something bad.

"What's up with you?" My dad asked as my mom sat on the couch beside him.

I don't like to talk about that night because it haunts me, I literally thought I was going to die that night. 

"I just wanted to talk to you about what happened between me and Landen. It's just something I don't like to talk about but I know it's better to hear the truth from me than someone else." I said looking at them both.

"What happened?" he asked.

I felt my voice cracking as I closed my eyes to tell them everything. 

"...He came to my place and was asking about my dealings with Ryan and saying that I was lying to him after he gave me a ring. He was cheating on me, I just hadn't quite addressed it as I should have but I knew he was. He grabbed me by the neck and threw me against the wall, my feet weren't touching the ground and I was struggling to breathe. He finally let me go and I tried to run but it only made him more angry because he grabbed me and slammed me to the floor and hit me in the face until I was dripping in blood with bruises. I tried....I tried so hard to fight him off but I thought he was going to kill me so I begged him to stop but he didn't...he kept hitting me and hitting me. It felt like forever but he left me there laying in my own blood with bruises all over..." I stopped talking because tears began falling from my eyes.

I couldn't look at my mom or dad because I was too embarrassed that I let that happen to myself. My mom walked over and sat beside me. She wrapped her arms around me while wiping my eyes.

"I'm so sorry that I let him do that to me. I thought he was going to kill me. I have nightmares about it still to this day. He had never acted that way towards me before. I was too embarrassed to tell you both because I didn't want you judging me or being disappointed in me for who I chose to be with. I didn't know..." I told them as tears continued flowing down my cheeks.

"Baby that's not your fault, it's never your fault. If something like that happens then you need to tell someone so it can be taken care of." My mom said.

I finally had enough courage to look up at my dad and he just stared at me with so much anger in his eyes with a hint of sympathy towards me. I saw his jaw clenched and I just looked down. This is why I didn't want to tell him. I know he's mad at me.

I soon felt his hands pull me up from my seat and he wrapped his arms around me and I placed my arms around him and cried in his chest. 

"I'm so sorry dad." I continued to tell him over and over again.

He wiped my eyes and looked at me. "It's not your fault, I'll take care of it. Don't wait so long if something like that happens again. I love you and I don't want nobody hurting my baby girl. I'd kill for you. I'm not mad at you but don't ever keep nothing like this from me again. You don't have to worry about him no more. He a dead man walking right now."
