#58 - Previously in an Abusive Relationship and He Scares You While Fighting.

Ashton- The last relationship you had been in left you in pieces, and when Ash was the only one to pick them up, you confided in him, and soon started dating him. He hadn't ever tried to lay a hand on you, nor did he ever pick fights, but this one was bad. You guys had been at it for at least 20 minutes, arguing over anything and everything, at this point. It all started with the initial topic you guys had beed arguing about, but then everything just started to come out naturally, whether it be along the lines of small annoyances to fights you've had in the past. Standing your ground was getting harder and harder with him as he kept raising his voice, which led you to do the same. Everything about him was scary and thats when you decided to walk out of the bedroom you were fighting in without looking back. You got to the sitting room and immediately heard a loud thud, almost like him throwing something or slamming the door. Memories flooded from your previous relationship and it seemed like the same things were happening all over again. With your knees tucked to your chest on the couch, you waited for him to emerge from the room, hoping with kind words rather than hurtful ones.

Luke- Luke knew about the last relationship you were in, and knew that talking about it to you upset you even more. He had his days where he would be stressed out and not be in a good mood, and today was most certainly one of those days. Making him feel better wasn't really easy for you, only becuase you never really knew what to say. He always kept the stresses of work to himself. When you tried to calm him down a bit this time, he just snapped at you. You understood and got up from your seat beside him, but before you were completely out of earshot, you heard him mutter something under his breath. "No wonder you drove the last one away." You paused, questioning whether to go and confront him about it, or pretend you didn't hear it. Your feet acted before your mind as you walked right back into where he was seated, ready for the long fight that was to come.

Michael- It was the most heated argument of your relationship with Michael, and that scared you in itself, because the normally sweet, caring Michael you became accustomed to, was now irate and cold. You could tell something was off about him when you got home, but didn't pay any mind to it, figuring you would just let him cool down. "Aren't you going to say something?" He would say as you made yourself comfortable after arriving home from work. "I just didn't want to make you angrier than you already were, I figured I would let you cool off a bit." You replied, noticing the indignant tone his voice held. Over the course of the argument, things got worse and worse, his voice becoming louder with every thing he said, making you feel even more scared, even if you didn't want to admit it. All you had left to do was go into a different room, not letting the memories from your last relationship resurface.

Calum- The fact of you and Calum fighting seemed foreign to you, as it rarely ever happened. But when it does, he doesn't fail to scare you a little. Whether it be from walking out to raising his voice, nothing is pleasant about his anger because he doesn't tend to keep things to himself. He knew the last boyfriend you had was abusive verbally and tried his best to not to scare you, but sometimes he just doesn't think through things like that. You guys were in the kitchen, one of you at either side on the table. And when it didn't seem like the fighting would stop, he slammed his fist on the counter, immediately making you walk away. Hoping that he didn't follow, you succumed to the anxiety and slammed the bedroom door behind you, letting out tears as you buried your head in the pillows of your bed.
