He punches me in the gut. I lurch forward. Gasping to catch my breath, I drop to the floor.
No! Fight! I must fight him! I pull my shaking body up and start to crawl.
He grabs my hair and leans down over me. “You’re going to fuck me.” He yanks my hair hard. “And then I’ll kill you.” He forces me to my feet. “Let’s go.”
He pushes me toward the living room.
“I’m not going anywhere with you, you fuck!” I spin around and slam my hand upward into his chin. I reach around his back for his gun.
He gets to it before I do.
I knee him in the balls. When he heaves over, I knock the gun out of his hand. It scurries across the floor, and I chase after it.
He kicks my leg, bringing me to the floor again.
We struggle to reach it.
The asshole wins.
He rolls over.
I move forward, ready to give him everything I got. Prepared to tear his eyes out and scratch his skin to shreds. Make him bleed everywhere!
“Stop!” He aims the gun at me. “Don’t make another move, or I’ll shoot you right now before I have my fun.” With watchful eyes, he pushes himself up from the floor.
“I told you.” I whip the hair from my face. “You’re going to have to kill me first.”
He laughs. The sinister sound matches his cynical snarl. “What are you going to do to stop me? Wait?” His eyes widen. He looks to the left and then the right. “Where’s your boyfriend?”
“What are you talking about?” I glance at the door, hoping Brett doesn’t come through it. Not while Glenn is holding the gun. I need to get it away from him. I need to fight harder. Be smarter!
“The guy who showed up the last time I saw you?”
“Oh, you mean, the one who kicked your sorry ass?” Maybe if I piss him off, he’ll get flustered enough for me to get the gun away from him.
Maybe.
Yeah, it’s a big maybe, but I have to try something. Anything.
“See, I was right.” He smirks, nodding his head. “You’re a whore. You were cheating on me.”
“Is that what you thought? Is that why you started beating me?” I grin. His reddening face proves my plan is working. “Wow, you’re a big man, hitting your girlfriend?”
His nostrils flare. He raises the gun. “You deserved it, whore. Besides, you like it. You know you do. All that rough sex. You liked it when I knocked you around. You wanted it.”
“You’re right. I do like it rough, Glenn. You’re just not man enough to do it right. You confuse sex with hurting someone so that you can get off. You’re not a man. A real man knows how to fuck a woman without hurting her. Not you. You’re too weak for that, Glenn.”
“Fuck you, bitch.”
“Fuck you, you worthless excuse of a man.” I lift my chin and stare down the barrel. If this is the end for me, then so be it. I’m not running from him anymore. I’m not surrendering to him. He’ll have to kill me before I let the sick bastard touch me again.
“Hey, fucker!” Brett’s voice sends a quick hot flash of hope and fear through me.
My eyes shift to the left. Larger than life, Brett stands in the kitchen. Shoulders lifted and fists clenched, my dark angel has come to save me. I didn’t want it to go down like this. I needed to save myself. I can’t have Brett fighting my battles. Yet when I need him, he’s always there for me.
I glance at Glenn. His eyes do the same. They shift to my Brett.
The gun remains on me. I need to keep it on me. I can’t allow him to hurt the man I love. I brought Glenn into Brett’s life. I caused this moment. It’d kill me if anything happened to him.
