Trigger Warning

"Get off of me" I screamed as Dan pinned my wrist above my head against the wall. " No sweetheart," he smiled with a mischievous grin as my mother watched me sob as he forced himself on me.

He kissed my neck repeatedly causing a shiver done my spin in disgust and horror. I begged him to stop but my begging only caused him to get angrier and more aggressive with me.

He eventually got fed up with me and landed a sharp quick painful slap across my left cheek causing me to wince in pain. I fell to the floor as my mother laugher and muttered under her breath "Weak" causing my heart to sink. How did I get here? Who was I in my past life? I must've done something pretty terrible.

Dan's fist was clenched. I threw my hands in front of my face protectively.

The doorbell went off leaving me with a smug grin on his face reminding me to behave.

I watched him and my mother answer the door and greet whoever was at the door with a charming smile. I walked over to the door and saw my boyfriend Daniel who waved at me with an innocent smile on his face. My mother shifted her head towards me, "Have fun baby" she beamed and nudged me gently out of the door, and waved Daniel goodbye. Why did she pretend to be an affectionate mother but couldn't be one to me?

Once, my so-called parents were out of our sight I felt Daniel grab my hand tightly causing me to wince out in pain. "Why didn't you text me back last night? I hate it when you ignore me." he furiously proclaimed with each word fighting his grasp around my hand tighter causing me to squirm.

"They took my phone," I cried as he loosened his harsh grip around my wrist letting me release a deep sigh from the sharp painful grasp on my wrist.

"It's okay" he pulled me closer to his side into a hug and I wrapped my arms around his waist and cried into his shirt. He pulled me off of his shirt and wiped the tears from my face with his thumb gently.

As much as I was terrified of him, he deep down cared about me. We started walking towards an abandoned old car park. He pulled out two beers and passed one to me and sat on the roof on one of the abandoned cars and admired the sunset. He kissed my forehead and whispered. softly in my ear "I love you" those words sent shivers down my spine. I froze with his yells were piercing in my ears."Do you not love me back?" he yelled and smashed the tip of his empty beer bottle.

I was pulled out of my thoughts. I was in my kitchen and the sound of yelling from my brothers. Gabriel was kneeling beside me squeezing my hand. I snatched my hand back looking down on my wrist. Dragging my fingers across the last of Daniel's scars from a broken beer bottle.

Gabriel lifted my chin and made me look at their eyes. "Your safe" kissing the top of my forehead.

Silence finally filled the room and my brothers look at me with a concerned guilty expression and at that instant, I realised I started hyperventilating. Eventually, I was drawn into the darkness with the last thing I heard was my brother's panicked voice screaming my name as I lay collapsed on the cold hard floor in the kitchen as my brothers kneeled beside me breathing down my neck.

I woke up feeling warm in my bed holding onto a hard teddy bear and I grasped on tightly. I felt a dark loud vibrating chuckle from the teddy bear.
