"stop treating me like shit when we're with your friends" i shouted as my boyfriend pulled me out of a party

"why do are you always causing a scene? we can't go anywhere without you acting like a bitch" he shouts as soon as we're out of the house

"i wouldn't be causing scenes if you'd just have some fucking respect! just respect me enough to not fucking cheat on me every chance you get" i screamed and pulled my arm out of his hand

"i don't have time for this" he shakes his head and rubs his hand on his face

"but you're not fucking denying it? you fucking pig" i counter

"and what? you should've known from the start that you weren't my only priority, why would i give everything up?" he exclaims and turns around to go back into the party

i ran after him and rammed his back with my shoulder causing him to fall forward. as he rolled over on his back and i start kicking him

"i don't want to hit you" he shouts as he covers his face

"fuck you!" i scream and start punching him

i felt arms wrap around my waist and guys started mumbling

"fuck off" i shout as i started kicking the guy that pulled me off

"damn tyler your girl just fucked you up" a guy laughs and helps him up

the guy that was holding me walked a few feet away before putting me down, i pat myself down before turning to run back at tyler

"shit, get her" a guy shouts as i jump on tyler

tyler grabs a fistful of my hair before falling back onto the ground. i punched him in the throat as he brought up his other hand up to choke me. he flips us over and he wraps both hands around my neck and starts squeezing

"what the fuck tyler!" the guys yell as they try pulling him off of me

"you should've just fucking left" he yells at me

my eyes start watering as i start scratching his hands and forearms, i see a guy run up to us and he knocks tyler out

i gasp and roll onto my knees, i feel a hand rub my back as i cough and rub my neck.

"are you ok?" a guy asks

"what do you think?" i question with a shaky voice

he wraps his arm around my side and helps me up. i brush myself off as i look around seeing that everyone had gone outside to see what was going on. i look over to the group of guys and see them helping out tyler

"let's go" a guy that i now realized was one of tylers mutuals

"oh fuck" i groan and take his hand

"we can go to my place" he smiles as he walks me over to his car

"look you don't have to do this, i can call an uber" i shake my head

"it's fine, you'll be safer with me. we need to let him cool down" he says as helps me into his car

i get in and watch as he closes my door and runs to his side before getting in.

"seatbelt" he tells me as he turns on the car

i nod and put it on and he drives off, i play with my fingers as we sit in silence for a few seconds

"how do i know you're not going to kill me?" i ask

"look at me, i wouldn't last a day in prison. everyone would be trying to get this ass" he laughs and points to his face

i chuckle and shake my head as i turn to look out of the window

"ok, maybe we can get to know each other. i'm derek. i'm 26. single. i live alone. i don't really like parties but i decided to come anyways, thank god. and i don't think women getting mentally and physically abused is ok." he rants as he keeps his eyes on the road

"i'm mia. i'm 23, newly single as of tonight. and i'm fucking tired" i try to laugh

he pulls into a driveway and parks, i open the door and get out. i wait for him to open the door before slowly walking in

"sorry i just moved in" he smiles and leads me upstairs to his room

he hands me a shirt, sweats and a towel and leaves so i could shower. i close and lock the bathroom door as i try to turn on the shower

"the fuck?" i mumble to myself as i try to turn it on

i roll my eyes and unlock the door to go ask derek for help. i open the door and immediately see derek standing in front of his dresser in his boxers

"sorry!" i exclaim as i close my eyes

"you're fine" he laughs

"uh can you help me turn on the shower?" i ask as i slowly open my eyes

"sure thing" he smiles and walks into the bathroom

my cheeks heat up as i see him strut into the bathroom in only his boxers

"my eyes are up here, sweetheart" he says pointing to his eyes

i push him out of the bathroom and press my back onto the door as i lock it. i undress and run my hand in the water to feel the temperature. i step in and sigh as the water slowly pushes all my thoughts away.

i look around for shampoo and scoff as i see an axe body wash/shampoo/conditioner. i shake my head as i squeeze some into my hand and massage it into head

after cleaning myself i rinse off and get out. i shiver as the cold air touches my wet skin, i grab the towel and dry my body then wrap my hair. i quickly put on the clothes and walk out.

i see derek laying on the bed with his phone in his hand. i clear my throat trying to get his attention

"yea?" he picks his head up

"where do i put my clothes?" i ask

"you can just throw them in a corner" he shrugs and puts his phone down

i furrow my eyebrows but do it anyways, i kinda stand in the corner not knowing what to do

"you can come lay down" he pats the bed next to him

i walk over to the bed and sit next to him, he gets up and hands me a blanket

"i'm gonna go sleep downstairs" he says as he begins to walk out

"can you sleep in here?" i ask as i grab his hand

"are you sure?" he asks

i nod and he makes sure i'm comfortable before laying across the foot of the bed

"good night mia"
