my alarm clock off which read at second glance read 4:30 am rather then 6 o’clock am. I checked the time on my phone just to see if I was really crazy. 4:30 am. I would never set my alarm to for 4:30 in the morning, I doubt Matt would either..but Kim? Why would she mess with my alarm clock? Or have a reason to be in my room? I shook my head and slowly crawled out of bed. I used my phone as a flashlight as I squinted my eyes and let myself out of my room. Looking down the hallway there was only one room where light shown underneath the door. I turned my flashlight off and stood there for a long moment. Do I knock? Do I go back to bed? Maybe I’m just overthinking this, I mean alarm clocks always act up once in awhile. Matt shouldn't be up though, at least not for a few more hours. I pulled my night shirt further down to make sure my underwear wasn't visible before slowly making my way down the hallway. The floor creaked under my feet, but I could barely hear it from the pounding of my heart. I didn't even have to knock. The door was casually pulled opened as he stood there with jeans on but no shirt. “Addy? Do you know what time it is?”

I nodded as I furrowed my brows. “Yes, 4:30 in the morning. My alarm just went off...did you mess with it?”

He looked genuinely shocked. “Why would I mess with your clock? I think you must have just set it up wrong” He shrugged as his eyes traveled down my body. I dont know but I stepped forward and shoved him back. “No, I didn't! You messed with it I know you did. Kim wouldn't...would she?”

My eyes widened when he grabbed my arm and pulled me forward enough to where he could close the door. I leaned back against the door and tried to pull my arm away but he kept his grip. “Alright you got me. I knew you'd suspect me, confront me. Your gonna tell Kim that your sick, to sick to go to school, do you understand?”

I glared at him. “No, I’m not sick there's no reason for me to stay here” I wanted to yell at him but I didn't want to wake Kim.

He smiled. “Course there is, I’m not working today so we can hangout. Dont you want a break from school?”

I smiled slightly,  changing my fighting sense to sweet talk. “No, I have many quizzes today that are important, I just can't drop it. Maybe some other time” I smiled politely even though I wanted to kick him and make a run for it. My eyes widened when his lips crashed on mine. It wasn't right, it hurt. Something jingled then clasped around my wrist. I turned my head away and looked at my right hand just as he cuffed it to the door knob. “What are you doing? Let me go!” Fear kept up my spine as I tried to pull my hand away. He smiled, amusement in his eyes. “You know when I first saw you, I wanted my hands on you, everywhere. Yes, I knew it was wrong, but I had to have you. Have you ever had that feeling before?” His hands slid up my sides before falling back down as he lowered my underwear. “KIM!!” I screamed only for him to punch me in the face. My head slammed  back into the door and my nose felt numb as I went to feel it. Everything looked a little fuzzy as I heard him unzip his pants. “I’m sorry, I’ll make you feel better..”

In the morning I felt cold. My throat felt dry when I tried to swallow and everything seemed to hurt. I turned my head, my neck sore from laying weirdly against the door. It took a moment for everything to come back to me. I remembered a few other details from that night and blinked away the tears that threatened to spill. My hand was no longer cuffed but had left a mark. I stiffly pushed myself up off the floor and moved to the bed to sit. Once I wasnt dizzy any more and my back didn't hurt so much I stood once more and opened the door. What was I supposed to do now? Do I call someone? Do I tell Kim? Do I run? I’m suppose to see my therapist today after school..can I tell her? I could smell bacon coming from downstairs and hear the tv. I walked back down the hall toward my room and closed the door behind me. I went to lock it, but there was no lock. Remembering there was a lock in Kims I walked back out of my room and stepped into hers. Closing the door gently, I locked it and crawled onto her bed. My body refused to sleep. Minuted passed and I stared at the door. I heard footsteps and immediately closed my eyes. Maybe locking the door wasn't a good thing, cause now he would no that I’m trying to hide from him, and stay away. I opened an eyelid as the door jiggled but didn't open. I felt relieved only for a second before I heard a key be pushed into the lock. I closed my eyes as the door opened and prayed that he would just close the door and leave me in peace. Silence filled my room, except for my heart which I’m sure he could hear. The floor creaked as he walked forward, closer and closer toward me. He put his hand on my thigh which immediately got me to flinch. “So you are awake”

I kept my eyes closed and my breathing steady. My eyes were forced to open when he grabbed a fistfull of my hair and yanked my head up. “Ow! Let go! I've done nothing to you!” He caught my foot before it could ram into his ribs “I’m surprised you're still resistant, after last night I was sure that I would have you wrapped around my finger”

I pulled my foot away and moved further up the bed. “I dont remember, now please leave”

He smiled at that. “You dont remember choking on my cock, or begging for me to fuck you harder?”

I made a face as I looked away from him. “No, I don’t”

“Sure” He smirked. “Now remember, this doesn't involve anyone else, not Kim, not a teacher, not even a bird or dog. Do you understand?” He slapped his hand against my thigh for my full attention. “Yes! I get it now go!” He slapped me across the face, my head almost turning a 360 if my neck would let me. I held my burning cheek as I looked back at him. His face was serious, his eyes dark. “Dont ever raise your tone at me, do you understand?”

I nodded my head. Without another word he stood and stopped at the doorway. “I Suggest you get back into your own bed” He left the door open on his way out.

 

My goal was to get out of the house before Kim got home. I spent about an hour on my makeup just to cover the hickeys and bruises around the parts of my body that would show. Just to be safe, I wore a long sleeved gray sweater, a pair of leggings and a purple scarf. I kept my hair down and almost reached the door before I heard Matts voice. “Where do you think your going?” I turned around slowly. “My therapist appointment,I can't just miss it. I wont tell her anything about us”

He dragged his feet forward as he spoke. “I thought you said she wasn't helping, your lying to me now?”

I shook my head. “I want to give it one more chance before you get me a new one” I tried to keep my hands from shaking as I placed them on his chest. I look up at him to meet his gaze. “Please, I could remember something, anything” He leaned his head down and I closed my eyes as he kissed me. It hurt from how much pressure he put down but I needed him to believe me, I could stay in that house any longer with him. “One word slips out, I will end you”

I nodded my head as he stepped back. I quickly opened the door and slipped out. Once in my car I locked the doors and sat there in silence. I could drive right now and never com back, I could drive straight to the police and have him arrested..but Kim, I can't do that to her. Her mom is gone enough already and who knows, maybe she is really just cheating, and doesn't want or have the guts to confess. I took a deep slow breath and finally stuck the car key into the ignition. A blanket of untouched snow covered everything in sight. So far I didn't have any trouble driving in it but that was only because i was driving way under the speed limit, like a loser. But a safe loser. From our hill top, you could see all of town in the distance which looked truly looked like a winter wonderland. In town the only active vehicles were school busses, parents going to pick up there kids and students with their licenses. In the summer time our town was very much a tourist town. With beach houses and lake homes to stay at. It was my request I didn't see the school psychologist. The last thing I really wanted was for people to know I was seeing one, and then bomb me with a bunch of questions. At an intersection a black and white cat appeared from nowhere and scurried across the street in front of me. I slammed on the breaks and turned my head just in time to see the front frame of a car slam into the passenger door. Once my car came to a halt from spinning I looked at my window to see blood. I gasped as I felt my head, it was almost saturated in it. It took me a moment to realize I was still in the car and now blocking traffic as cars just honked. I felt more embarrassed than anything. I reached for the door handle but it was yanked opened before I could even touch it. “Hey are you alright?” I flinched as I felt a cold hand turn my head. “Your heads bleeding, what'd you think you were doing? Stopping in the middle of traffic like that are you insane?!” I lazily pushed his hand away. “I’m..fine” I looked over at him and met his green eyes. It was if I had never seen green eyes before I was so amazed. His skin was pale and strands of his jet black hair spiked carelessly over his forehead. I'd seen him before, I knew it. I realized I was staring and blinked. He was staring at me intently and I quickly looked away.

“Adelina?”

I looked back at him. “What? That's not my name, my name is Addy”

His soft sweet face soon turned into an evil smirk. “Short for Adelina, I’ve found you” He pulled his face back out the door before I could even question him. What does he mean he's found me? He knows me? He knows my past? I could hear the sound of an ambulance as I tried to remember his face. Where had I seen him before? He was important? Someone who was good? Or was he bad? I couldn't remember which one but I was positive I had seen him before and I would see him again.

 

It wasn’t worth saying I was fine anymore, I was taken to the local hospital to have my head looked at even though I could hardly
