For the longest time, I thought it was normal. The feeling of fear whenever I saw a text from him, the urge to run when he cornered me in the halls, begging to talk.

It wasn't until recently that I learned the truth.  You aren't supposed to be afraid of texts. You aren't supposed to run from your friends.

You aren't supposed to not be able to handle people standing behind you. You aren't supposed to not be able to handle touch. You aren't supposed to believe that someone will hit you at any time.

That's all
