CHAPTER 15

The Next Day

I wake with a start after hearing a loud noise coming from the kitchen. I groan thinking that Spencer has dropped something, but after a quick look at the clock, I know he would have left for work a couple hours ago.

I sit up quickly as I realize that the source of the noise could be Bernard getting into some kind of trouble. But as my eyes wake up, I see him sitting by the door, clearly disturbed by the noise as well. Okay, now I’m getting worried and I have no idea what to do. If it’s a robber I could lock myself in the bathroom and call someone or I could go out and confront the person. If only I had a weapon or at least a baseball bat. I sigh to myself and decide to go and confront the fucker as I pick up the next best thing, a long metal flashlight.

I tiptoe to the door and open it as quietly as I can. I peek through the crack in the door trying to see if I can see anyone, but there’s no one there. I do see that one of my plants has been knocked over and there is soil everywhere. The plant was on a small table against the wall so there’s no way it could have fallen on its own.

“Morning, Haven.” I hear from the living room. Shit, I’d recognize that voice anywhere.

“Adam. What the fuck are you doing here?” I demand and take a step forward.

“Can’t I visit my girlfriend?” As he walks towards me I get a good look at him, his eyes are red and drunk, he looks crazed.

“Ex-girlfriend. We broke up weeks ago.” I hold the flashlight up in an attempt to stop him from coming any closer.

“You broke up with me but I never broke up with you. I want us together.” He smirks when he sees the flashlight and gets a gun out of his pocket. Oh, shit!

“It takes two consenting people for a relationship. I don’t want anything to do with you, not anymore Adam.”

“Shut up, you whore! Nobody asked for your opinion!” He shouts and charges at me. I don’t have time to react as he backhands me, knocking me down on the ground. I hold my soon-to-be bruised cheek, trying to regain my composure and come up with a plan or at least something that could give me the upper hand, but I'm struggling to think straight. My breath is ragged, I'm starting to shake and my vision is starting to blur. I can feel a panic attack coming. I try to focus and block out everything around me but my hesitation gives him enough time to grab me by the throat and push me towards my bedroom before throwing me on the bed. “I’ll be the one deciding if we’re in a relationship or not. You hear me, you bitch!” He yells and uses his body to pin me into the bed.
