Beaten

Chapter 1

Salma pov

The beating again. Everyday I'm asking myself what did I do to deserve that? Why was God punishing me?

He came back home around 5 pm. Like always I have to great him with a smile and a kiss even though it repulsed me. When he passe through the door I knew that I was in for a hell of a beating.

"Where were you today?" He asked.

"I've gone to the grocery because I've needed a few things to make dinner," I replied head hung low.

I didn't see it coming. My cheek stung from the impact. He slapped me.

"Don't lie to me you little b*tch!!! They saw you *slap* with *slap* that *slap* guy *slap*. And you dare to lie in my face *punch*," he yelled.

I didn't look at him. I was laying on the floor from all the beating's impact. He didn't stop there even though I was begging him to stop because it wasn't the truth. I took blow after blow, kick in my ribcage, everything. I couldn't move after that. I was laying in my own blood and tears. I passed out on the floor unconscious. I woke up 5 hours later to an absolute silence. I look at the clock and it's reading 11:30 pm. I stood up to go and clean myself. I couldn't stare at my reflection. I was ashamed that I've let that happen to me. All the physical and mental abuse. I've gone in my bedroom and lay on my bed.

In the morning I've found a stuffed animal with a heart written on it "sorry I love you". Yeah like I was going to believe that. I have to go, quit this place and never come back. I sprint in "our" bedroom, rummage through his things and found a large black hoodie. I took a backpack put my phone some photos all my papers like passeport ID cart and I quit this hell hole I was calling "home".

I was walking fast. Trying to escape this life, this man well more like this beast.

Outside I was like coming back to life after a long sleep. I've became someone who I promise myself to never be, the one who doesn't see how everything in her relationship is wrong but I was blinded by this so called "love" emotion. Such a strong feeling but such a disappointing too.
