Learning How to Scream

Chapter three:

"Stop it; you're hurting her!" I heard Josh yell. He must've seen James push me in here.

James let me go. I collapsed on the floor.

Josh punched him.

"No!" I yelled.

"You touch her again, and you are dead!" Josh threatened him.

James glared at him and left.

Josh came to my side and asked "Are you okay?" while helping me up.

I didn't have many friends, but when I didn't see James all day, I called Josh and asked him to pick me up.

"Who the hell was that?" He asked as we walked out to his car.

"Someone I spent the night with..."

He said nothing. Until I got in the passenger side of his car.

"YOU DID WHAT WITH THAT GUY?!" He shouted.

"I saw him at the mall," I explained calmly. "And then we went dress shopping, and we were about to kiss when we saw eachother but we didn't. Anyways, I was about to step out and show him the second dress when he pushed me, then put his hand around my neck and shoved me against a wall!"

"Then what happened...?"

"Then he kissed me, kept banging my head on the wall and he was forceful. Then, he grabbed my thigh and brought me to the bench, and then kissed me, kept telling me to be silent. Eventually, I was able to get off of him and get dressed. But, when I went to go out the door, he grabbed me and did it again!"

"THEN WHAT?!" I could Tell Josh was interested.

"Then he took me to his house... and I wore his pajamas and we fell asleep..."

He pouted. "DETAILS!"

"Fine!" I laughed as he started the car. "We made out a bit, but when we woke up around four, he went and drove me home, I took him upstairs and..."

"AND?!"

"And we made out AGAIN!"

"Then why was he choking you?"

"I wanted hm to come home with me like he promised but he wouldn't I don't know what's wrong with him..."

"Well, I swear, if he touches you again, and I find out, I will kill him. Like, legit."

"Drive me home, Josh."

"Fiiinnneeee." He agreed.

While we rode home, Josh decided to tell me how he would Kill James if he touched me again.

He stopped at the end of the street.

"What?" I asked.

"Who is that?" He asked poiting at a black truck infront of my house.

"THAT'S HIM!" I unlocked the door of Josh's car and ran. Towards the car.

The engine started and He began to drive slowly down the street.

I continued to run but grabbed my phone from my back pocket and tried to call him. He answered.

"Hello,"

"James, stop your truck."

"Bay, I can't let you get hurt."

"James, no!" He hung up and drove faster down the street.

I stopped running when I reached my house.

Josh pulled into my drive way. "Where is he going?" He asked.
