“Sorry”

“It’s okay just don’t do it again.” After that brief encounter we were both able to get to sleep.

Morning, I think I have a breakfast thingy with Ky today. Glancing at my phone confirms it so I get up and get dressed. I’m about to leave a note to let Carmen know when she comes out of the bathroom brushing her teeth.

“Where you going Spence?” she asks a bit confused.

“Breakfast with Kyla.” I shrug because seriously I think I remember telling her this the other day, but she doesn’t seem happy. She looks pissed to be honest.

“When the fuck are you going stop hanging out with the puppy?” joy here we go again.

“Carmen, Kyla is my best friend and I will see her when I want.” She scowls and starts pushing me towards the room again so I push back because seriously what the fuck. “Carmen cut it out I’m going be late.”

“You are not going, your going stay here with me.” She is close enough that I can smell her breath and it’s obvious that she has been drinking even though she just brushed.

“Carmen your drunk now let go your hurting me.”

“I am not fucking drunk so stop being a fucking dumbass, I’m tired of you teasing.” Now I’m scared because seriously Carmen is strong. She rams me against a wall and I see stars as my head makes contact and everything goes black.

I wake up to my cell phone vibrating, I can hear Carmen banging around the kitchen so I crawl my way into the bathroom and close and lock the door. I lean against it panting slightly; my only shield now is this icy wood I think as I slide down it. I wince slightly when I make contact with the floor and huddle myself into a small ball, wincing again as fresh hot tears make their way out of my clenched eyes staining my cheeks. I squeeze my knee’s closer, not a good idea I find out when pain erupts from all over making me wince and whimper. It hurts so much and before I know it I’m sobbing uncontrollably as pain floods my whole body. I can see the dark bruises that are already obscuring my usually tan skin. But I’m jolted out of my pity party when I hear Carmen again.

“Let me in Spencer, now!” she screams pounding at the door as hard as she can, making it shake. I’m scared as hell and start panicking when I remember my cell phone. I hit speed dial and it’s picked up immediately.

“Spencer where the hell are you?” Kyla starts to yell into the phone, but the concern is evident in her ranting.

“Kyla help, please Carmen, she, I just need help. hurry-“ and then the door bursts open and I drop my cell phone.
