Ruin My Life

Fight or flight

"I've been trying to reach you but you haven't returned any of my texts." His voice is filled with anger. "Yea I figured you have been I blocked you obviously." I say as I point to my eye that still has not healed up. "Now don't be like that baby, it was an accident. I just get insecure when you don't want me." His reaches his hands to my cheeks and I flinch. "Come on, I said that I was sorry why are you always like this?" His voice is angry again. He backs away and starts rubbing his head as if he is the one that is stressed. "Listen I need some money." He exclaims. "Well you're not getting any not this time, I need it. Plus I don't have any anyways." I raise my voice. "You're being a b***h" he starts "Just give me the money, and I will pay you back." He shoves me out of the way and heads toward my room. He starts to dig into my stuff, he's going through all of my old shoe boxes, he comes across the orange NIKE one and opens it. s**t I think to myself. He rummages through the shoe box and finds a tin can. He tips it upside down and all of my savings crashes down to the floor. "You b***h, I almost believed you too." He gets up and charges toward me, his hand raised I duck missing his swing. I start running toward the front door to try to escape. But he grabs me, and throws me down to the floor. "Stop! Stop!" I pleade. But it's too late he's already wailing on me, and I black out.

I don't know where I am, and my head is pounding. I lift up my arm to rub it, and it's caught. I look down to see ivy's and monitors all around my hospital bed. I look around to see Austin wearing the same clothes he was wearing earlier passed out in the chair in the far corner. "Oh good you're awake. Can you tell me what happened?" The voice I coming from a petite woman with short dark hair, and she is wearing baby blue scrubs. "I-I don't, I can't..." My voice breaks and I start to cry. "Shhh it's okay, you don't have to tell me now." She explains. "Can I get you something to eat or drink?" The woman asks. "Some water would be nice thank you." I respond. "Of course I will be right back." The woman turns away from my beaten body and heads out the room.

A few moments later Austin finally wakes up and comes to my bedside. "Don't worry he wont be bothering you again" he goes on "I passed out on my bed and woke up to you screaming so I came running, I saw what Derek was doing to you and called the police. There is a restraining order that has been put in place, he can't come within five hundred feet of you." I sit staring at him confused. "A restraining order? How long have I been out?" I ask him. "Hunny you been out for two days."
