Chapter 1: Where Have You Been?

Jessica's POV

It was the middle of the night when I started making my way back home. I had just left my best friend's Ash's house, she's like my number one biggest supporter and I thank the heavens I have her in my life. Checking my phone for the time I noticed I missed so many messages from the person I was dating, and how they said they're waiting at my house. I slip my phone back into my pocket as I finish the walk home in silence.

Pausing to look at the front door I take a deep breath. I knew the rest of my family would be asleep so that means I'll be facing my significant other all alone. Before I can even reach for the knob the door swings open. "Where have you been?" He asks staring down at me. "At a friend's.." I responded with a shrug, trying my best to wiggle past the tall guy Infront of me.

Without another word he moves and I walk by, making my way up the steps slowly. He was close behind me almost stepping on my heels everywhere time that i walked forward. "Okay, what is your problem?" I ask quietly once we both was in my room and the door was shut. "What is my problem? What is your problem? You was the one who was out all night long with some chick leaving your boyfriend behind." I bite my tongue staring at the floor "I told you I was with a friend."

Before I could even think I was thrown on the bed. "The next time you want to go out you tell me first so I can okay it!" With those words and a slam of my door he was gone. I slowly stood up and watched from my window as his car pulled from the drive. My older sister steps in "What the heck was that about?" I turned around wincing at the slight pain growing in my side "It was just a small disagreement. Everything's fine don't worry and go back to bed."

Hannah just nods her head slowly "Okay I will but not before I say this. He's treating you like shit and I know it! Please just leave before things get worse." "I don't wanna hear it! Now get out!" Hannah threw her hands up in defense before backing out of my room. I shut the door behind her, making sure that it is locked, before sitting on the edge of the bed. 'Why does my side hurt?" I wonder before taking my shirt off and seeing the now giant bruise that formed. "Damn me and my fragile body." I whisper rolling my eyes. ' Tomorrow will be a new day. Everything will be better tomorrow.' Was my last thought before drifting off to dream land.
