Mixed Feelings. [dougie poynter]

Chapter 10

'I warned you. I warned you not to breathe a word.' He barked, I was knelt in the corner of the room awaiting for him to strike me again

He picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder, I pleaded him to stop but I knew deep down no good could come from this

He harshly threw me down onto the bed. He paced the room. Knocking things off of the draws purposely

He threw several punches at the wall before turning back round to me. His chest rising and falling fast at his outburst

He wasn't done yet.

He paced over to me and began to remove my clothing. Tugging my top over my head

'Please stop' I tried to scream but all that came out was a whisper.

He hit me across the face and threatened to kill me if I didn't shut up. And I knew he meant it

After my clothes were discarded. He roughly pulled at my hair forcing me to look at him.

'Do as I say or there will be consequences' he spat

No.

I kicked him hard in the stomach and climbed off the bed. I back up against the wall

'I mean it dan. I've had enough' my voice trembled

He let out a menacing laugh

'So have I baby, so have I' his evil smile gave it all away

He had a gun pointed to me. His finger on the trigger

He counted down

I was awoken by screaming. I scrambled from the sofa and walked into her bedroom.

"No, please" she whispered. Twitching her body.

It was a nightmare.

"I'm begging you, stop" she screamed. I could see tears rolling down her cheeks.

Shit.

I ran over to her bed and sat next to her

"Zoe" I softly said. Shaking her arm

"Don't. Don't hurt me please" she stuttered "get off me" she weakly whispered.

She jerked her head to the side. Her breathing was frantic. Her face was cold from sweat

Her small hands were fisting the sheets so hard her knuckles turned white

She screamed and jerked upwards. She turned and looked at me. Her eyes wide with fear

"Zoe it's okay, I'm here it's dougie" I cooed removing hair from her face.

"It was just a nightmare zoe. You're okay I'm here to protect you" I kissed the side of her head & put my arm around her bringing her into my chest

Her arms clung to me like a baby to its mother. She was terrified

"Go back to sleep baby it's 4am" she nodded not saying a word and I slowly lay back down.

She placed her head onto my bare chest. Her arms still clung to me

I wrapped my arm around her waist and kissed the top of her head. Tracing small circles on her bare arm gently soothing her

"I love you" I whispered certain she wouldn't hear. But it felt right to say it.

I closed my eyes and had one thing on my mind

What was her nightmare about?
