Chapter Three: We can't change

[Chloes POV]

“Ow Tom, that hurts!” I said laughing in between kisses as I felt his hands clawing my back. “No seriously Tom, that really hurts now!” I said in a more serious tone. But he just kept on ignoring me. Still trying to kiss me against my own will, I pushed his face away with as much force as I could. “Snap out of it Tom!” I said annoyed now. He chuckled and got back up.

“Why did you just hit me?” He asked as a small grin started to form on his face and he gradually walked closer and closer to me. I didn’t know what to say back to him and he was sort of scaring me, so I remained silent. Clearly that was not a good idea as the next thing I felt was his hand being slapped across my face. “TOM!” I said crying out in pain.

“How do you like it? Huh…” He said almost shouting now. I stuttered for words but couldn’t find anything to say yet again. “ANSWER ME!!!” He shouted as he slammed his fist into my eye. “UGH! BLOODY HELL! OH MY GOD!” I screamed in extreme pain as I hunched over and held my hand over my battered and bruised eye. “What the actual fuck Tom! You're crazy! Arghhhh!” I said still wincing in pain as I tried to run downstairs with only one eye to see out of. Once I’d made it to the door I grabbed my bag and turned around to find a look of horror wash across Tom’s face. It all sunk in right then and there… He just laid his hands on me again! I began to cry not because of the pain this time, but because of the fact that he had done this to me AGAIN when he had promised me he wouldn’t. Not knowing what to do I ran out of the door and continued running down the street. I saw Tom chase after me for a while until he came to a stop. “Chloe! Where are you going? Come back! We can just talk about it I promise! I won't hurt you! Come back!” He shouted at me. But nothing was going to make me come back! Was he delusional? He promised he wouldn't hurt me? Yeah, cause i haven't heard that one before! I kept on running until Tom was out of sight and I immediately pulled out my phone from my bag and dialled Harry’s number.

“Hey” I heard his familiar husky voice say through the phone.

“Harry, Where are you!? I need you to pick me up NOW!” I said in a hurried voice as I looked around frantically hoping that Tom or any other hobo wouldn’t find me. It was getting late now and being out here alone wasn't a good idea.

“Chloe! What’s wrong?" Harry asked frantically. "I’m on my way, where are you!?” I heard him say back to me in a worried tone.

“Harry calm down, I’m at the street near Toms place...” I said as the phone shook in my hand. But before i could explain anything more he already knew what i was going to say. 

“Chloe, if he’s laid his hands on you again i swear…” He began furiously.

“Just focus on driving Harry!” I screamed back into the phone and then hung up. 

It seemed like the only thing Tom and I had in common right now was the fact that we both couldn't change. He couldn't change to be a better person and i couldn't change my old ways and find the courage to leave him. I know what's best for me and I know what was easiest, unfortunately for me i always seem to pick the easy way out. It's just what i do after having such a terrible past and i can't aford to lose any one else.
