"I told you to stay home and wait for me and you went to a fucking birthday party!!" He shouted looking murderous " I didn't go I've been waiting for you I just.. "She tried to explain but was stopped by a slap on her cheek." Please I'm sorry don't hit me" she cried while he continuously hit her on the floor.

Jane's POV

My name is jane a college student who fell in love with the wrong guy.he wasn't always like that but changed. Liam was a Sweet guy when I met him
Cute,caring,hot,and loaded.But few months later I found out it was all fake,but I was already in love so I stayed in the relationship hoping it'll get better.But guess it's getting worse. Today's valentine's day and instead of getting flowers,gifts and chocolates I'm getting the beating of my life just because someone decided to get drunk. It wasn't this bad,I mean I get slaps and hard pushes from him but never this type of beating. It's morning and i'm feeling pains all over
"Baby" I hear him say, I pretend to still be asleep because I'm tired of him acting like a monster one minute and apologizing the next I'm really tired but I don't know what to do I love him so much.
" I know you're awake please I'm sorry" he whispered seductively " its fine" I say forgiving him just like that. yeah I'm stupid I know.
"You know I actually got you a gift yesterday but I kinda angrily threw it away" again with the lies "its fine" I say not wanting to remember last night."ouch!!" I tried to get up but my whole body hurts with tears in my eyes.."baby are you ok?" Yeah I'm fine I say. "Okay baby I have some where really important to go to right now I don't know if I'll be back today" he says standing up.then I noticed he was actually dressed to go out."okay" I say going back to sleep.
Its 3pm at noon and there's a loud bang at the door who could it be "Tasha" liam's sister who lives with us is out of town with her boyfriend and liam made it clear he wasn't coming back today so I wonder who it is,I tried getting up but the pains shot through my body making me collapse on the bed."come in its open" I shout
The door opened revealing Derek the next door neighbor "hi Derek" I said casually while he looked at me like he saw a ghost "what in God's name happened to you,you have bruises and cuts all over and you look pale" oh I didn't really think of how I look before letting him in."oh I fell down the stairs last night" I said not looking at him "yeah that's why you were crying and begging your boyfriend last night right? I thought you guys were just arguing or something..that guy is really a monster,he's really gonna get it from me this time" He said the tears I've been holding suddenly came out I couldn't hold it any longer "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you" he said looking sorry "its okay its not you I'm just tired"I said he came closer and hugged me while I cried in his arms "then leave him"he said like it was the simplest thing to do " I can't I burst out using all my strength to stand up. "Okay please go take a shower let me quickly get you some pain killers and something to eat,you look like shit" he laughed making me smile."thanks " I said walking to the bathroom.
I came out after taking a hot bathe to see different types of food waiting for me. I couldn't help but smile "you spoil me too much Derek, how am I supposed to finish all of these" I said sitting down."well just eat what you can,but eat enough,you're getting too skinny". "Ok fine, but you must join me" I said the rest of the day went well we talked, laughed saw movies and it was already late. He stood up and hugged me " its late I have to go now,will you be ok I could spend the night if you want". " its fine you've done a lot already, thanks a lot" my day would've been spent crying if it weren't for him "Alright then take care of yourself good night" he said leaving I followed him and shut the door locking it. Derek lives next door in same building so I don't have to worry about him getting home safe this late, it's 11pm and this town is not safe at night.
Derek and I have been neighbors but never spoke to each other because my boyfriend doesn't like me talking to any guy but he hasn't complained since we became friends, although I see the way he glares at him whenever he sees us together, Derek doesn't care he doesn't like him because of how he treats me.
I've taken the painkillers Derek got me and I'm feeling sleepy so I'll just go to bed hopefully tomorrow I'll be fine to attend classes.
