Before you start reading I just want to remind you that you are beautiful. You are valuable and you deserve to be here. Don't listen to anyone that tells you different. Stand high and build the world that you dream of.

Fear ran throughout her whole body. She was afraid of saying the wrong thing, doing the wrong action, offending him and paying the consequences. She was afraid to move. She always was. Every time she thought of doing something she played out all probabilities in her head.

He wanted her to be perfect, but he also wanted her to fuck up. He loved seeing her in pain. He loved seeing her suffer. It gave him a sense of power. He knew the power he had over her. He knew that she could never say no to him. She was completely under his control and he enjoyed it.

Fuck. She thought. She knew she had said the wrong thing. I should've kept quite. Then again she'd probably be punished for that too. There was just no pleasing him.

Her eyes grew big as she saw anger fill his eyes. Fear once again ran through her body. She was paralysed. To scared to move.

He charged at her completely enraged. She backed up until her back hit the wall. Both his hands flew up to her neck and slightly lifted her up off the ground. She tried to pry his hands off, but failed. She gasped for air as everything was slowly turning dark.

Just before she passed out he let go. Her body fell to the ground and she coughed as she filled her lungs back with air. Her eyes glossed over and tears threatened to spill. He of course saw this and hated it. He towered over her, brought his right foot back, and kicked her with as much force as he could produce. This left her breathless once again, and she struggled to bring air back into her lungs.

She clutched her abdomen as immense pain spread throughout her body. Tears streamed down her eyes like a river. She let out loud cries not just from the physical pain, but from the emotional pain she felt as well.

He kneeled down beside her and wiped a tear away. His contact frightened her which caused her to flinch. He drew his hand back and balled it into a tight fist. He drew his fist back behind his head and brought it down on her face, first hitting her square in the nose then, again on the side of her face. He did so until he was content and left her there a bloody mess.

She sobbed loudly with eyes sewn shut: too scared to open them. He woke up worried and wrapped his arms around her body; comforting her and providing her with body warmth.

"Shh. It's okay baby girl. I was just a nightmare." He stroked her hair softly and planted a kiss on her forehead.

She clung onto him knowing he'd keep her safe from the monster that was once in her life.

"It was about him again Brandon." She cried into his bare chest and he softly ran his hand up and down her back.

"I know my love, but he's gone now. He can't hurt you anymore baby." He lifted her chin and placed a soft, delicate kiss on her lips. His lips were soft and warm and she melted into the kiss; even if it was just for a few seconds.

Brandon had saved her from the monster that had once possessed her. He cut the chains and set her free. It has been nearly 3 years and even though he's now behind bars the mere though of him scared the living hell out of her. Luckily she had Brandon now. He always occupied her mind.

Brandon had taught her how to love again. He showed her just how valuable she was and he admired very little thing about her. She was just what he needed and vice versa.

They both stared into each others eyes and admired the other's existence. She brought her hand up and placed her palm on his jawline. He leaned in closer to her just a few centimetres from her face. She ran her thumb lightly across his bottom lip and his eyes fluttered shut; enjoying her small touch.

He closed the remaining space between then and locked their lips. They moved in sync and their lips fit together perfectly. They pulled apart and smiled. He hugged her once again and they both went back to sleep: tangled in each other's arms.
