If Only for Love
Dawn yawned as she tried to concentrate on her homework. She had been feeling tired and achy for a while now. She didn't know what it was. She had recently started her freshman year of college and didn't want to be behind. Her boyfriend Logan was a junior in college and she lived with him. She yawned again.
"God, why am I so tired?" she said to herself.
"Maybe it's because you stay out all hours of the night," Logan said as he stumbled out of their bedroom.
"You're drunk," she said, looking up at him.
"Shut up!" he yelled, which startled her. "Are you telling me what to do?"
"No" she said.
"Because I can do whatever I want to do," he said, his world slurring.
"Logan calm down" Dawn said as she stood up to be eye level with him. He smiled and look away for a second and then lashed out and hit her, causing her to fall to the ground. Tears started to fall as she cupped her hand over her right cheekbone.
"Get up!" he screamed at her. She quickly obeyed, trying to avoid another blow to her face. "Don't you ever, ever tell me what to do again do you here me, do you!" he shouted.
"Yes" she said.
"Yes what?" she asked.
"Y-yes sir" she said, not looking at him. He pushed her down into the chair she was sitting at and went back into their bedroom. Dawn started to cry as she rubbed her cheek.
