Fall'n For The New Guy | | Harrison Reid

Chapter Two

After my long day at work with my body aching from the extra long hours I took and head throbbing from where that guy kicked me, I unlock my Apartment door.

"Hey babe I'm home."

"Where the hell were you?" My boyfriend asks his voice slurred.

He's been drinking again which has been often lately.

I sighed, "I was at work, I went there earlier then usual."

"Until 10 PM?" He asks beer in hand.

"I went for something to eat I was vanished." I told him putting my bag on the counter.

"Bullshit.." He stumbled his way over to me, "Are you sleeping with someone?" He slurrs frowing his eyebrows.

My eyes widened with disbelief, "You really think I would cheat on you?!"

"Well it's not the first time you've come home later then usual." He asks I could smell the evasive amount of alcohol on his breath.

"It's because I'm on longer shifts! I already told you that!" I shout

He slaps me and shoves me into the wall behind. "Don't you shout at me and don't you ever talk to me that way." He tells me one hand on the wall behind me.

Tears prick my eyes as I hold my cheek, this wasn't the first time he has hit me. "I-I'm sorry.."

"You better be." He says taking his hand off the wall and turns away taking a sip of his beer.

"How many beers have you've had?" I ask knowing it wasn't just one pack. I wince thinking I shouldn't have asked that.

"I can't remember how many I've had since the second pack."

"Babe you know that we're scarce on money right now. That's why I'm taking longer shifts." I can't remember the last time he worked.

He turns to me agrasivly and I flinch. "Says the one who went out to eat."

"Well I'm not the one buying and drinking more then two packs of beer in a day. They aren't cheap." I tell him a little anger lacing my voice.

"Watch how you talk to me Tess." He tells me pushing on my chest and pointing at me while he hold his beer.

I spot the brand on the bottle of beer. "Is that....Craft? That's the most expensive one!"

He grabs my shirt and hits me against the wall, "Watch it. So what it's Craft bitch-"

"It's the most expensive $12 for only six!" I shout my voice cracking with shock.

I feel him back hand me in the same spot, "I can drink whatever brand I bloody well want." He says pushing off me and turning away.

"Not if it not your money who your spending." I mumble clearly annoyed

"What did you say."

My anger raised not really caring that he will hit me again because he will anyways, "I said, NOT IF YOUR THE ONE SPENDING IT! Are you deaf!" I yelled anger searing in me.

And the last thing I can remember was feeling his fist hit my head..

I wake up hearing the Tv on in the other room, I look at my watch and I've been out for a solid 30 minutes.

I groan holding my head and stand to my feet using the wall to help.

I take an uneasy step and stumble back into the wall catching myself from falling over as my mind was foggy.
