If you can catch me

Chapter 5

The second I closed my eyes, he was there. I may be able to get away physically but mentally he will always be in my subconscious.
It was the night I was going to break up with him. I had tried it with him to see if I felt anything, I didn't but braking it off was not the best idea I've had without a plan, I knew he wouldn't take it well, who would? They person you had been committed with leaves after two years? Cautiously I knocked on his apartment door, he moved out of his parents house several months before. In my dream I couldn't hear what was said, honestly I don't even remember it really. My subconscious wouldn't let me escape what what about to happen, it would make me relive it. His fist came flying out and I winced, I may not remember the words but I definitely remember the pain. The hits were getting harder and harder while he was screaming at me, yet I didn't make a sound. Yelling all the promises he would complete if I stayed. Yelling till his voice went hoarse, the kicks ad punches did  not let up. The explosive pain had ended, leaving sharp shooting pains and serious throbbing. I had believed he was done, I wasn't aware of how wrong I really was. This was the part I hated the most, I was trying to wake myself up from this before the real pain set in. It was no use, I was trapped, a prisoner in my own mind. I watched as my dream self was flipped onto her back, I cringed at the memory. I watched in horror as I watched myself trying to escape his hold. In the dark of the apartment, one could see the glint of a metal object in his hands. Th front back of my shirt was sliced, I could see myself start to panic. That's when the excruciating pain came in, still I watched as I was silent. Twelve strokes of pain later, he got up from restraining me. I knew he had written something on my front, but I was too weak to do anything, I couldn't even lift my head to look at it. He bent down by my ear, i couldn't hear anything but I remember exactly what he said. With his hot disgusting breath wafting over my face. 

"Now everyone will know you are mine." 

I wake with a scream. Its been months and yet even miles away he can still wake me up in a cold terrified sweat. I ran to open the window, my back was burning. I was choking on air, suffocating. The autumn  breeze took only seconds to calm me down. Quickly I relocked the window and went to the broken mirror. Lifting up my shirt I stared at the four letters that I completely despise. 

MINE. 

Sorry if it sucks, I've been sick and really just wanted to post something.
