I am yours

Chapter 8 (Davina's POV)

Warning: The beginning of this chapter has abuse. I didn't go into graphic detail but thought I should give people a heads up because I don't want to trigger emotions into anyone that have been abused. So if you want to skip it then the beginning will be italicized.

"You bitch!" He shouted as he backhanded my check.

It stung. It hurt like a bitch actually.

I quickly stood back up since I had stumbled a bit.

"What the fuck was that for?" I spat out at him.

I'm not sure what I did to provoke this anger, to be smacked. Although it didn't seem like I had to do much to provoke Henrey.

"I told you I didn't want you around Shawn, that he only wants to get into your pants! Unless you are already fucking him, you whore."

"Fuck you Henrey! You wanted me to not hang out with Mandy because you thought she was a bad influence on me. I did what you ask because I love you. But I will not stop hanging around with Shawn, we are only just friends. You need to relax because I want to be with you. You call me a whore again and we are done because I'm not screwing around!"

Kind of wish I was though! Probably be treated at least somewhat decent that way.

"Don't talk back to me!"

Another slap to the face, and then a punch in the gut and then my head being hit against the wall. And the words being uttered "Stupid bitch."

When he walked away I thought that was it, he was done, which was strange considering his beating continued a little longer than just a few minutes.

I was down on my knees holding onto my stomach and sobbing. What did I ever do to deserve this? I knew this wasn't love, I was starting to realize this now But why wasn't I leaving him? Why was I still staying with him? Maybe he was right maybe I was stupid.

I continued to sob when he came back. I tried to stand back up to at least defend his attack this time but he pushed me against the wall and grab a hold of my hair and started dragging me...

I bolted awake not wanting to remember what came next even though I can very clearly remember in the back of my mind what he did.

I felt wet on my check. I quickly wiped the tears that had fallen while I was sleeping. I looked beside me Cooper was still asleep thank god!

I got up from my bed and walked out of my bedroom into the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and shed a few more tears. I hated the dreams. They had started when I woke up in the hospital bed. To be honest when I woke up in the hospital from being shot at I panic a little, but when I heard Cooper's voice going on and on about some law shit from his studies, I relaxed and pretended I was fine.

The dreams have been subsiding I hadn't had those dream during the past two days. I thought it was getting better and I had hoped I wouldn't have another dream like that tonight, guess I was wrong.

I stopped crying and ran water, I splashed my face with water a few times before turning the water off and grabbing a towel to dry my face.

I was thirsty but I couldn't stomach drinking water at the moment..... why? I left out something when I told Cooper about my abuse..... what I didn't want to see in my dream which was the fact he tried to drown me.

After that night it was the last straw for me. I decided to leave. I started making plans, I looked for available places I could stay to until I had enough money to save up for a better place. I was talking to Shawn about where to store my stuff until I could move them into a stable condition. I let Henrey think I had forgiven him and that I was staying with him.
