Love is Dangerous

Ch. 1 - It was sweet

"Okay, I can do this" swallowing my last painkiller for the night.

I can't believe this.

He finally did it.

I can still see the bruises on my neck. The dark purple mush splatter like frosting.

If it only tasted sweeter.

"Babe?" Jordan knocks on the door.

I quickly grab my t-shirt to cover the bruises before he gets angry again. He hates when I see them.

I don't know what to tell him.

How do I tell him?

"Give me a second" I yell to the door.

His knocking gets stronger.

I put my hair into a bun so that he thinks I was fixing it. Not actually hiding in his parents bathroom before dinner.

"Whats taking you so long ?" His voice changes slightly.

"Fuck fuck fuck" I started whispering shoving the pills back in the mirror. They shake violently as I place them on the counter.

The banging became louder as if he was banging a hammer on the door.

I swear to god he's gonna break that fucken door. I don't understand him sometimes he's happy then he's upset. Like what's his deal.

Opening the door, I see Jordan and his bright brown hair that I use to be so in love with.

He was my high school sweetheart. I was so foolish all those years ago when we were younger. It felt so long ago where life was better.

I can't even see my family because of him.

"What were you doing in there?" he puts me against the wall.

As if reflexes weren't as great, my arms defend my face. He immediately smacks them so that I can't hide my face from his.

"Nothing" I whisper without making eye contact. I knew it would be a bad idea to do it.

"LOOK AT ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU" he makes me jump a little.

I look at his bright brown eyes. I wonder what he sees now.

I always feel like I'm his prey, always on the move trying to dodge his bullets. I wish there was something I could say to him that would stop him from trying to hit me.

Great.

The sting of his palm makes me fall to the ground. I catch my breath and let the pain set in.

2 Years Ago ...

"Girl you guys have been dating for how long now? Like forever?" Sara sips her pink drink.

Sara was always pretty with her dark hair and white smile. She never let anything possibly get in her way sometimes. We were two peas in pot my brother use to say before he left for college.

"3 years" blushing thinking of Jordan.

She smirks at me knowing that it affected me when I asked.

Jordan is my boyfriend and long time friend since we were kids. Our parents knew were that in the end we were going to end up with each other.

He asked me out in a sophomore year where I was surprised when we brought me roses and chocolate. It might actually sound cheesy thinking about it out loud in my head.

He i-

"Hello, earth to Alexa" seeing a hand go across my face.

"Girl, you always be zoning out on me when I'm asking you a question" she rolls her eyes.

"What?" now confused

It's crazy to think how fast high school has ended where one minute we were in school and now we're going to college.

"I said where are you going for your anniversary" she repeats herself before throwing her drink away.

"I have no idea I would have to wait until I get home," I say.

Sara and I are walking towards my house before Jordan beats me there.

He says he has a special surprise for me when I get home but I'm not so sure what it is.

Sara phones infamous ringtone starts playing from her purse. She turns to me and mouthes "mom" as she starts to speak Spanish. She starts speaking Spanish complaining about something about the bathroom.

We keep walking for a while talking about how high school and our fun memories.

"Omg do you remember when Jorge told Mr. Spencer to sit down because he proclaims he was Spartan," Sara says to me.

I stomach hurts too much from laughing about the incident because I can remember it so clearly.

Sara and I were sitting close when we saw Jorge walk into class, proclaiming he was Spartan during AP literature class. I like Jorge he was our guy best friend that was always making the jokes even the ones we didn't need to be hearing.

"Yup, that's your boyfriend" I tease at Sara who blushes and smacks my arm hard which makes me laugh harder.

"Shut up," she says knowing that I was right.

She so embarrassed that day when he came because everyone knew that was her boyfriend. She was blushing so hard that day through her light skin. I even teased her about it all day.

She ended up beating his ass later on that day for pulling the stunt that eventually got him detention.

"Speaking of boyfriends" Sara gestured her hand towards my porch where Jordan was waiting patiently for me.

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of him waiting for me.

It was sweet.

"I guess this means I'll see you later?" Sarah nudges my shoulder.

"Yeah, I'll call you" making a phone with my hands.

"Better be something good Jordan or best be bet I'm gonna kick your white ass" Sara screams towards Jordan.

"It won't be" he waves at Sara.

I bit the bottom of my lip as Jordan makes his ways towards me. He gives me a charming smile with his perfect everything.

He gives me a hug and put his hands around my back staring straight into my own brown eyes.

"So you gonna give me a chance to kiss you or what," he says looking at them.

I roll my eyes and kiss his stupid ass before we go into my house.
