My Next Door Neighbor

Chapter 1.

*Raine POV*

Well here we go again. Oh how rude of me. I'm Raine Summers and I'm 25 years old. I'm a model for covergirl. I've been modeling since I was 21. I'm currently in a relationship. An abusive one and I hate it. The beatings didn't start till the 2nd year in our relationship. He recently got out of the NBA because of an injury and he's taking it out on me. Right now I'm in the bathroom covering up my busted lip and black eye. He's downstairs watching tv. He acts like him beating me doesn't phase him at all. I got to get away and fast.

I walk downstairs and get ready to fix dinner. Ugh he wants shrimp and steak. Fat bastard. As I work on dinner, I get a call. Its my boss/best friend Kahla.

*Phone Convo*

Raine: Hello.

Kahla: Hey Raine I have a job for you tomorrow.

Raine: Okay what is it?

Kahla: We have a new recruiter coming and you have to show him around. He's French and his English is broken so I know you will show him around and get him comfortable. And might I say he's fine.

Raine: Kahla you know I'm very shy and closed off.

Kahla: And you have to get out your shy zone.

Raine: Alright Kay. What time?

Kahla: Round 12.

Raine: Okay. See you tomorrow.

Kahla: Okay bye.

Raine: Bye.

*Authors POV*

Raine hangs up and finish cooking dinner. She sit the plates on the table and call him for dinner.

Raine: Babe dinner!

Travis walks in and sit at the table. She sit with him but that didn't last long. He bit into his steak and spit it out.

Travis: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS RAINE!!

Raine: Its steak. What's wrong with it.

Travis: That shit ain't done. Its pink on the inside. Ian eating this shit!

Raine: Travis is medium rare. It's suppose to look like that.

Travis: Whatever I'm still not eating it.

Raine: *under breath* Then suck yo fingers then.

She think he didn't hear her but he did and she regret ever saying anything. He took and slapped her out of her chair. She held her face crying. He stood over her punching her and kicking her all over her body. She screamed but no help came. After he was done, he spit on her and walked out the door.

She laid on the floor crying and shaking. She tried to get up but fell back down. After her third attempt, she got up and cleant the mess up. She washed dishes and made her way upstairs. She was scared to look in the mirror. When she did, she didn't look like herself. Black eye, busted lip again, and black and blue bruisies on her arm and back.

She looked at herself and asked herself why is she still with him and all he does is beat her. All women say 'I love him' but they will eventually get tired and leave. She run herself some bathwater with Epsom salt and her favorite bubble bath. After getting undressed, she slowly sinks down and relax her sore muscles. She close her eyes dosing off for a minute but remembers she's still in the tub. She take a 30 minute wash up and get out. She dries off and get dressed in her night attire. She slowly drops to her knees praying.

Raine's prayer: Our father which art in heaven. I know you sent me a man but I didn't want an abusive one. He beats me for no reason but I love him. We was doing good until he had his injury. Why does this happen to me. I'm tired and I'm hurting. All I asked of you is to keep him in your prayers lord and keep your arms around him as he go through his stage of depression. I try to make him happy but nothing works. Just continue to look over him and *voice breaking* pray for him. Pray for me as I go through this painful relationship. In Jesus name I pray. Amen and I love you.

She slowly gets up and gets in bed, tears running down her face. She cries a little bit more until she falls into a deep slumber but not before she whisper one last thing. I love you Travis.
