Dedicated to Portablemorenikeji

Hunting demons in a haunted mind,

Gathering courage but with waning hope,

Too big a shadow in fading light...

I am one death away from dying twice

Evelyn POV

His hands traveled across my body in a rhythm that was meant to seduce. His eyes are blazing like a red hot coal. He plunged his hands in my hair, securing my head. Lowering his mouth into mine, He muttered something I couldn't understand. I tried to pull my mouth away; he bit my lower lip hard until I gulped in pain. He took advantage of the situation by shoving his lips into my mouth, kissing me as though his life depended on it.

He tasted like alcohol and blood

I tried to push him away which only made him adjust his position, pinning me into the wall

"You are such a tease Evelyn, Seducing me any chance you got. Now that I want what's mine, you wanna run at first chance?" He said with a low laugh like he was enjoying watching me in pain

No! Mark
Please stop!
Let me go, and we can talk about this

"Shut the fuck up," You don't call the shots here, I do, and when I say this is how I want it, you obey. Got it, Bitch?

Cold shivers ran through my spine
I can't move from where I am; my whole body feels numb, I began to kick endlessly
I can't get away now no matter how much I tried, I thought

Why did I quit my Self-defense class in high school again?

My whole body feels like a tissue compared to his masculine body.

I could feel his hand making his way into my inner fold

My last sane thought was Oh God Mark is going to force himself on me

I felt cold water in my face

Evelyn!
Evelyn!

Wake up! Ciara, my best friend, shouted. Hovering over me to shake me back to life, she looks like she just witnessed a murder. I must have been crying in my dreams for quite a while now
I can't believe I am having one of those dreams again.

"Evelyn, Tell me why you were screaming in your dreams again, you scared the daylight out of me, girl. She said, looking directly into my face. I think it's high time you visited a therapist."

No, Ciara, I don't need to, I had a bad dream, nothing more, Don't overthink it, okay?

She doesn't look convinced, though, but she didn't want to push it either.

Ciara and I are the complete polar opposite; She is calm and a good listener. But for me?

Don't let me even get started on that

She doesn't like to pry. I told her I never want to talk about my nightmares until I feel ready. She Agreed. Speaking to people about it is like reliving it all over again. It's not a good feeling. I don't want to be put in that situation still, which is why I never want to visit a therapist.

Tic Tok

I hated the sound of a clock,
I glanced at the annoying thing hanging down the wall of my room

Oh My God

It's almost 8 in the morning.

Mr. Simpson is so going to kill me today

I jumped out of bed in a swift motion.

Mr. Simpson doesn't tolerate tardiness, and I have been doing more of that lately. I work two part-time jobs since I have been on my own to pay my bills. I usually come home at around 2 am and then go to the restaurant in the morning by 8 to start another one. My life has been shitty since the day I was born. It has just been one problem or another.

Rushing to the bathroom to take my bath, I skipped all of the unnecessary routines. I put on a pair of sneakers to match my uniform.

I can be goddamn fast if I have to

I hurried out of the house; I didn't even get to bade Ciara goodbye as I hop on the first cab I found

"Good Morning, Mr. Simpson, I said, rubbing the inside of my palm on my jean.

Sign of nervousness

"Evelyn, You are late again, I need to see you in my office immediately," He said in a severe tone

I dropped my bag and ran after him. I hope I don't lose my Job Today.

Please, God.

"I have been tolerating your Tardiness for the past couple of days now. I don't need a slacker. You need to find somewhere else and leave immediately, Get it?" He growled at me

I stood speechless

God

I just fucking lost my JOB

What to do now?
A series of questions ran through my mind. I still have so many bills to pay
My monthly rent is going to be due next week!

I dragged my ass out of his office and left the building.

How am I going to pay my monthly rent by next week, Mrs. Adams can be a bitch if she wanna, this and my other job are the ones keeping me in college

I don't know where to get the money

I'm such a loser; I can't do anything right

Nothing

Loser!

The sound of a car honking got my attention

No! I screamed

I stood still in the middle of the road, not knowing how to move.

I tried to move but I couldn't, my legs glued to the same position

I heard the honk again, this time very close

God, please save me

I felt a hand pull me away from my position

My thoughts jerked back to life

"Do you have a death wish?" The stranger shouted at me

I blinked once

Twice

Oh God of heaven, I need saving again, my subconscious screamed

Who do you think the stranger is?

Why does Evelyn need saving again?
