I look back up at him, pushing a finger into his chest angrily. "Don't you ever come into this room again and better off don't talk to me. I will not call of the fight and if I get beat up at least I didn't coward to you, asshole." I snarl at him.
"Oh, and also..." I add, sending a sharp uppercut to his jawline, following with a swift jab to his ribs.
I smirk as a sense of relief and triumph fill me with the image of him crouched over and fighting for air as he tries to compose himself again.

Within a minute or so he returns to his normal stance, his face contorted with rage as he paces towards me. My triumph quickly fades to caution as my back meets a wall, leaving me with no where to run.

I push myself further into the wall as he places his arms on both sides of my head. Before I can reacts, he swiftly takes ahold of my throat and pins me in my spot against the wall.
I struggle to get air to my lungs as I attempt to get him to release his grip. I can start to hear the pulsing of my heart beat, my vision blurring rapidly. In a frantic effort to get him off me, I begin kicking; forcing him to loosen his hold on my neck.
I breath in huge gulps of air, trying to regain control of my breathing and blurred vision when he speaks, "Will you stop hitting and fighting me and just listen to me or will I have to continue your punishment somewhere else?"

I stand up straight and regain my normal breathing back. I gently touch the very rough and sore spot on my neck as I respond, "You're fuckin crazy."
