Come back to me

Chapter 2

When we moved in together everything slowly changed, suddenly we had bills to pay. I found a part time job at a little cafe close to the university but Matt struggled to find a job he liked. It didn’t take long until we started receiving threatening letters and eviction notices; Matt convinced me that the only way to pay off our debts was for me to drop out of university and work full time. Matt promised me that once he finished university he would get a well paying job, that it will be his turn to support us and i could return to my studies, that promise was made 3 years ago, Matt graduated 2 years ago and ‘is still looking’ for the right job to come along.

Over the years i grew tired, needed to get up at the ass crack of dawn everyday quickly stopped my partying days and soon Matt turned into someone i didn’t know. He started becoming busy with the guys, playing games on his xbox all night, staying out late and sleeping well past noon. I barely see him anymore.

“Hey” i shout as i walk in the front door, tv blaring in the bedroom has me following the noise up the stairs, the bed sheets are strung across the floor with dirty clothes flung around the room, tutting i turn off the tv in the empty room, piling the clothes into the laundry basket in the bathroom. Heading into the kitchen i open the fridge and empty shelve stare back at me, sighing i grab a packet of dried noodles from the cupboard and flick the kettle on. I gave Matt the food shopping money a week ago. Picking up my phone i press call, loud thumping music blasts from my speakers as Matt picks up “ Hey, where are you?”

“For f**k sake Melly, stop pestering me! I’ll be home later” Matt hangs up and i drop my phone onto the counter.

“one …two…three” i take deep breaths to settle my emotions, i don’t know if i wanted to smash something or burst into tears. Grabbing my noodles i stomp back up the stairs and get into bed, turning the tv on i watch a light hearted tv show and fall asleep to the sound of the background laughter.

A rough hand squeezing my breast wakes me in the night, opening my eyes I see Matt hoovering over me, smiling menacingly he grabbed a fistful of my hair making me gasp in pain, the sour taste of stale beer and cigarettes engulfs me as matt forces his tongue into my mouth, his hard d**k being ground into my stomach as he starts to groan, leaning up on his elbows Matt roughly shoves my leggings down my hips, his knee parting my knees as he pulls his d**k free of his jeans, forcing my legs wide open he thrusts his c**k inside me making me scream out, “ i know you love it rough baby” matt pants into my ear as tears start to slide down my cheeks. “f**k” Matt grunts as he stiffens and yells out his release inside me, without a word he pulls out and collapses on top of me as he drifts off to sleep. I stay still as a statue until loud snores fill the room, pushing him off me, i roll onto my side and cry myself to sleep.
