I closed my eyes as the hot steamy water from the shower hit my aching body. Tears began to erupt as I stood there motionless and relived every punch that was thrown at me. How could our once happy home turn so corrupt? As I stepped out and dried off I cautiously wiped the foggy mirror and was quickly disoriented by the reflection. This wasnt Lira. Hearing footsteps I hurriedly threw on my sweats, then pulled my hair up into a ponytail. I was so caught up in the motion I neglected to realize the bastard that did this to me watched helplessly the entire time.
"So you- you just gone leave me now?" He stuttered.
I ignored his comment while walking past him grabbing the keys from off of the dresser.
"So you gone fucking leave me Li?" He hollered while walking towards me.
Chills instantly embedded my body as he approached me. All I could think to do was run.
"Don't run from me" He hollered while chasing after me. "Running won't solve this."
Regret. I regretted ever running. I could feel him coming closer and closer behind me. "Please just don't hurt me." I pleaded. "Please jus--" My words came to an immediate halt as he grabbed me by my ponytail and dragged me down the flight of stairs.
"You're hurting me" I cried. "Please, just stop drinking and I won't leave.. I wo-- won't leave." Instantly, I found myself gasping for air as he aggressively slammed me against the hinges of the front door with both of his hands securely wrapped around my neck.
"Say you love me Li."
"I..."
"Say you fucking love me" he screamed.
"I-- I love you."
As our eyes connected, he quickly let go of my neck apologetically. His sorrow dazed filled eyes sparkled like emeralds which hypnotized me instantly. "I love you too" he whispered. Did he mean to hurt me? Suddenly, It was as if nothing had ever happened. I knew this feeling all too well.
