Stone Cold Heart

♡ Chapter 17 ♡

He did catch me a week later when I was going to leave for my night shift. As I opened the door, I suddenly see his big callused hand, on the left side of my face, closing it. Then I hear his thick voice say "Where do you think you're going?"
        I froze, I couldn't manage to speak, my heart raced. I slowly turned around to face him. Then he flicked the light on that was above the door, revealing his angered almost demon-like facial expression. He then screamed, "Marie you know I hate repeating myself, Ima ask you again, where the fuck were you going?"
      Just as I was going to answer him. His right hand was wrapped around my neck, applying pressure. So much so, that I can feel my pulse racing at his fingertips as I gasped for air. I plead for him to let me go as I struggled to release his grip, clawing my nails into his hand. But it didn't do anything but make him angrier that I didn't answer him. Then he said, "I bet you been fucking that asshole, right?" If that means you, yes.
      Soon enough I was gasping for more air, but then he let go of me and threw me to the floor and said "Answer me bitch!" he demanded. I cough as the air came back to my lungs. That's when he came up to me and kicked me, he tried to aim for my stomach but I put my knee up and he hit my shin instead. I started crying as I whimpered in pain. He said "Aren't I right bitch? You have been fuckin around with him!"
    "No...I was going to tell you that I was working to pay the bills."
    "After I fucking told you not to go you deliberately disobeyed me?!"
          He says as he grips me off the floor and grips my neck again, but tighter than before as he slammed my back against the nearest wall, which pierced a sharp pain in my upper back. I gasped for air once again but I kicked his jewels and he dropped to the floor releasing me of his grip, holding in between his legs. He yelled "You fucking bitch!!"

        While I still had the chance, I ran upstairs and locked myself in the bathroom and plugged my ear as I sat with my back against the door, crying wishing that this was all just a dream. I couldn't believe that I actually fought back. But I shouldn't have done that because I know that when he gets his hands on me, there are worse things he was going to do to me. In a minute or so he came racing up the door and yelling "Marie open this fucking door!" He started to bang on the door hard. I could've sworn it was going to break. I tried to zone him out as I prayed in silence and closed my eyes tight.

    "Lord please help me. Please take me out of my misery. I'm sorry I kept this away from him. I should've hit him. I deserved the beating. I'm sorry I'm such a horrible wife. Please let him forgive me, Amen"
        The banging kept getting louder and louder until the door cracked on the bottom of the door from him kicking it. Then I moved away from the door, to the porcelain toilet as the door burst open. He looked at me on the tiled floor with tears running down my face. He then gripped my wrist, pulled me up from the floor, but I tried to plead for him to not take me to the room. I knew that he was going to beat me for hurting him. He didn't listen to me. He then said, "You're going to come with me to the room, rather you like it or not bitch!"
        I refused to get off the floor so he grabbed my wrist harder and attempted to drag me out of the bathroom. I pulled back but the pain only worsened. I cried for him to let go but he didn't listen. I got up and he pushed me into the room, making me hit the bed causing me to fall on the bed. I was in full terror. He got onto the bed and said "Undress now"

      I did as told and started to take off the dress and apron that was part of my new uniform. A smile appeared on his face as he saw me wearing what he likes, nothing but hot pants and a black bra. Then he said, "Now go put that shit back on the hanger."
    "Okay" I did as told and when I came back Scott was under the covers. As I walked back to the bed he said "And when you wear that uniform make sure you are wearing tights, your body belongs to me and only me, got that?"
    "Yes," I responded as I cut off the light. He tried to comfort me but I didn't want anything from him. He just severely hurt me and now he is acting like nothing ever happened, fuck no. I hate it when he does that. He tried to kiss me but I moved away and said "Goodnight Scott"
    "I guess, whatever"
        He cut off his light and turned his back towards me. I closed my eyes and started to cry silently so he won't hear me. I cried myself to sleep that night. It was one of the many horrible nights we had. I had to lie to my boss and call in sick the next day because my body hurts so badly. When I woke up, I didn't even see Scott. Which was a blessing because I didn't have to endure any more pain for a day. I went to Chassidy's to tell her what happened she didn't even have to guess what happened. She could already tell.
