Last Year

“I suggest you watch your tone, sweetheart” he spits at me.

He brings his arm down, dragging his finger down the side of my face,

“If you insist on provoking me I can't help what will happen” he leans even closer to me so our noses are side by side, a breath away from touching. “To you” he breaths on my lips.

He's going to kiss me; I can’t let that happen, not again, especially after what he did! I shut my eyes, my mind is racing as I tried thinking of something to do, I sense his lips getting closer and closer to mine. Why do I always seem to be in this situation! Then, it descends upon me, with nothing else to do I decide to try it out. Just as I feel heat pour over my lips, I bring my knee up. I feel this entire body instantly contort in pain before sliding down my body and landing with a thud on the ground. As I open my eyes, tension flows out of my body as I see him groaning in agony.

I lean down, anger fuelled adrenalin pumping through me.

“If you ever touch me again, I will make you suffer” I growl.
