My Girl

Part 1 (Babysitting)

"Okay now I just need to set the table,"

I mumbled to myself, I had guests coming over, well more my boyfriend had guests coming over but as always he left me to set up everything and cook everything,

"Lazy ass,"

"What you say?"

I whirled around at the sound of my boyfriend's voice,

"Uhh n-nothing angel,"

My boyfriend raked his greedy blue eyes up and down my body and it took my entire will power not to shiver, instead I turned away pretending to carry on slicing the tomatoes. He came up behind me groping me, his drunk breath sending off alarm signals in my head,

"Hmm it sounded like you said 'Lazy ass', I should hope you were not talking about me,"

Fear welled up inside me,

"O-of course not, I would never disrespect you,"

My boyfriend snatched the kitchen knife from my hand and pressed it against my neck,

"I should hope not dear, you know how I don't like disobedience and cheek,"

I gulped and nodded as slowly as I could trying to not let the knife cut me, then finally he moved the knife from my neck with a laugh,

"Don't look so tense sweetheart,"

He kissed my cheek hard and walked away, I breathed out slowly in relief. At one point, I loved this man dearly, with all my heart and now that we were living together I began to see a whole new side to him, the ugly side. I placed the salad on the table with shaking hands,

"Oy go put something better on, something that doesn't make you look like a drabby housewife and fix your hair and makeup you look like shit,"

"Yes Sir,"

I called and went to the bedroom, as I closed the door I found he had already put my clothes out and I shivered, he loved showing my assets off to his lewd friends and I hated it.

Time Skip of 2 hours

Reece's friends had arrived and they got the 'party' started as soon as they walked in, I welcomed them in and the music started booming, usually I would join in and have fun but I was too scared of Reece to do anything like that, they had drunk themselves to nothing and I just sat there with a polite smile on my face, the whole apartment was fogged up with smoke and I struggled to hold back my cough as I walked past one of Reece's friends he snaked his hand up my short skirt and I smiled down at him politely and made my way into the kitchen, I felt a few tears snake down my cheeks, is this really how my life was going to be now?

All of a sudden I felt pure rage radiate from somewhere, I turned around holding the counter and I looked around but no one stood there and I could hear Reece and all his friends laughing but still I felt that pure pure rage coming from somewhere and then I felt a whisper of wind across my cheek, I looked around in fear, it was like someone was standing there with me but I couldn't see anybody.

I shook my head, I needed a swim so I bravely walked into the lounge,

"Umm sorry Reece?"

Reece looked up at me angrily,

"I-is it okay if I go have a swim? It's awfully hot,"

All his friends wolf whistled and I felt that rage radiate from somewhere again and Reece waved his hand dismissively giving me permission. I scrambled to my room and quickly changed into a one piece and then ran to the pool where I dived in, welcoming in the cold and then that's when my tears started to flow freely. I needed a friend more than ever but I didn't have any,
