Naomi's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes. All the memories came flooding back as I tried to form words.
"Ray!" I said as my voice trembled. "What are you doing here?"
I could feel my body tense up as he came closer to me. Only inches apart, he whispered with his cold breath in my ear.
"Hey sweetheart." Goosebumps formed in my body. The exact words I heard before the nightmare began. I finally gathered some strength.
"I'm not your sweetheart now please go away!" I shouted. Retreating my steps I went to shut the door but his bang on it didn't let me. Quickly he pushed me inside and shut the door himself. My head hit the hardwood floors causing my vision some blurriness.
"Please stop. What do you wa—" I sobbed.
His arm covered my mouth as I tried to speak.
"What do I want? You ruined my life you stupid bitch. Now you're going to pay."
His strong arms grabbed my body, violently pushing me to the couch. I kicked and threw punches as he tried to throw himself at me.
"STOP! HELP!" I sobbed uncontrollably.
"Shh" He grabbed my face. This'll be over before you know it." He held my arms with one hand as he forcibly grabbed my face and kissed me. I was completely pinned down by the weight of his body on mine. I closed my eyes and tried to try to imagine other things to distract me from the situation. Until suddenly, I heard a knock on the door.
I quickly opened my eyes and used all my strength to remove Ray's face from mine. "MENA! HELP PLE—" I tried yelling before he he slapped me, causing my lip to break.
"Naomi?" I heard him yell back. The door knob moved intensely as I tried to open it. "What's going on?" He yelled in a worried tone.
Ray covered my mouth with his hand as I tried to scream. "Don't say another word unless you want me to hurt you, understand?" He whispered.
I nodded in agreement and he removed his hand from my mouth.
"MENA, PLEASE HELP ME!" I yelled once again.
"I told you to SHUT UP!" He pushed me off the coach and kicked my in the stomach.
I could feel my breath go short. I tried crawling away, yet he kept holding me back. I felt my body weaken my the minute.
All of the sudden, I heard a slam on the front door. "Don't you dare touch her or I swear I will—"
"You will what Romeo? I can snap your body like a tooth pick" Ray interrupted.
"I'd like to see you try", I heard Mena say. I could feel his foots steps coming closer.
"Oh really?"
"Look man just leave her alone alright, I don't want to hurt you." Mena said as he got closer and his direction made Ray turn away from me. Fortunately we made eye contact and I noticed he directed me towards something with his eyes.
I turned to my side to notice a decorative plate my mom had had for years. I slowly tried to gather all my strength and reached for it as Mena tried talking to him.
"You're not gonna hurt me, in fact I'd like to hurt both of you as of right now."
I was finally able to quietly reach for the plate until the tv remote slipped of the table making him turn around realize what was going on. "You little bitch." Ray said as he turned around and tried to reach for me.
In an instance Mena grabbed him by the back and swung at his face, causing Ray to fall and hit himself in the head with the edge of the living room table.
I threw the plate on the couch and threw myself in Mena's arms. "Thank you so much." I said as I cried to him. I felt his arms tighten around me.
"I promised you I won't ever let anyone hurt you again." I heard him whisper softly into my ear as he hugged me tightly.
I pulled away from the hug as I noticed a police siren arrive at my house. Mena and I walked out.
"Police, put your hands up where I can see them." I heard them say as we walked out.
"She's the victim, please the man is inside." Mena said as he held on to me. After a minute of questioning we were both sat in the ambulance as we waited for medical attention.
I saw the police men run into my house. Yet something felt weird.
"Why are they taking so long?" I asked to the police men closest to me.
"I'm not sure, wait here."
I watched Mena get his knuckles iced as I awaited on an answer from the police. Suddenly, I heard someone call my name.
"Oh Naomi sweetheart we came as soon as we could. Are you okay? I'm so sorry I wasn't here." My mom cried as she pulled me in for a hug along with my dad
"I'm okay mom, a little hurt but it's nothing that won't heal." I said to her as she as she caressed my lip bruise. "Hey mom, dad, I'd like you to meet someone" I said as I led them to Mena. "Mom and Dad this is Mena, Mena, this is mom and dad. He's the one who called the police, I mean he saved my life today.
"Oh dear, Usha, it's so nice to meet you. Thank you so much for protecting my little girl." My mom said as she went in to hug him.
"I don't know how I'll ever be able to thank you young man. Thank you so much." I heard my dad say as he shook his hand.
I stood next to Mena and reached for his hand.
"Well Sir, actually, I was wondering, if you gave me your blessing. I care for your daughter and I want to officially be able to call her my girlfriend." My heart dropped as Mena spoke and he looked me in the eyes. "I promise to always be there for her and to protect her at all costs."
"Well, if that's the case the—"
My dad was interrupted by the the police men. "Sorry to interrupt Sir, I'm sorry to inform the man has escaped."
You have got to be kidding me.
