"NO!!", I screamed at him as he turned and started walking away. "What did you just say?", He said as he turned around slowly as if he didn't just hear me right. "I said no", I spoke defiantly. I've had it. I can't take it anymore, I need to stick up for myself. My face turned to the right suddenly and my cheek stinged. I looked at him in shock with my hand nursing my scorching cheek as tears surfaced to my eyes and fell down my cheeks. He's never put his hands on me and yet he just slapped me. I fell to the ground with a loud thud as I was pushed. I began sobbing as his foot made contact with my stomach. The wind was knocked out of me and just as I caught my breath more kicks were thrown at my stomach. I curled up on the floor as I tried to protect myself while sobbing but it didn't really help. With each kick I heard distant yells. He was yelling at me but I couldn't hear what exactly he was saying. It was like his voice was drowned out by water. He picked me up by my hair and turned my face to look at him. His eyes were black with rage and pure hatred was all over his hard face. I just don't get it, if he hates me so much why not just let me go? Michelle has had enough and she needs to find a way out of the life she was forced into.
