Chapter 2

Nayel sat on the bed in her apartment. She was shaking violently. She got up slowly. Her body ached with pain. She slowly walked to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. "What have I done," she whispered to herself. She lightly touched the fresh bruise that was on her face. She lifted the toilet seat and vomited. She flushed it and then went back to the bed. She slowly lay down. The front door slammed shut.

"Shit! We're late again Nayel," a guy yelled as he stormed into the bedroom. He had dark brown hair but it was covered by a baseball cap. He was around six feet and had muscles. "Nayel didn't you fuckin pay this shit," he grabbed her arm and made her stand up.

"I'm sorry Eddie I must have forgotten," Nayel begged and tried not to cry. After Zigzag's funeral she met Eddie. He seemed like a nice guy but appearance wasn't everything. They had been together for about year and that is how long the abuse went on. It started with a slap then he started shoving her against walls. Then he started beating her violently.

"You forgot," he practically pushed her against the wall. Nayel fell to floor and quickly picked herself up. "Nayel how could you fuckin forget," he grabbed her hair and shoved her back into the night stand.

"Eddie stop," Nayel slowly started to cry.

"Bitch," he slapped her and threw her on the bed. "You have to pay this shit or else you are out of here," he threw the bill at her and went to watch TV. Nayel grabbed the paper and looked at it. Her tears fell on to the paper and she quickly wiped them away. She got up and put on her jacket. She headed to the door. "Where are you going," Eddie snapped not looking away from the TV.

"Out," she managed to say. Eddie got up and walked over to her. She backed away from him.

"Baby come on," he touched her cheek and kissed her lightly. Nayel turned away from him.

"Don't touch me," she said under her breath. Eddie grabbed her wrist and placed his cigarette against her skin where her scars were. Nayel screamed. Eddie threw the bud on the floor. Nayel looked at the burn she now had on her wrist.

"It matches all those scars you have," he patted her cheek and went to the kitchen. Nayel grabbed the car keys and headed out. She was running the downstairs and crying. She bumped into one of her neighbors, Mrs. Fitzer.

"Sweetheart are you okay," she asked and touched Nayel's cheek.

"I'm fine," Nayel responded and continued on her way. She unlocked the car door and got in. She cried harder. 'What did she do to deserve this?' was the question she kept asking herself. She didn't understand how she got stuck with Eddie. She started the car and headed to Caveman's house. She pulled into the driveway and looked at the house. It seemed like a mansion compared to where she lived. She knocked on the door and Mr. Yelnats answered. "Hi Mr. Yelnats is Stanley home," she managed to say behind her tears.

"Of course Nayel come in," Mr. Yelnats let her in. "Stanley Nayel is here," he yelled. Caveman came down the stairs and looked at Nayel.

"Hey," she smiled at him.

"Hey come up to my room," Caveman smiled back at her. Nayel followed him to his room. "I'll get the first aid kit," he said. He had been helping Nayel aside from his little problem. Nayel took off her jacket she was just wearing a maroon tank top and jeans. She plopped down on the bed. Caveman came in with the kit and pulled up his chair so he could be in front of her. "Let me see," she showed him the burn mark. "Damn Nayel why are you with him," he began putting a bandage.

"I don't know," Nayel said and tried not to cry.

"You can stay here," Caveman looked at her. Nayel looked back at him. He looked into her eyes and he could see she was hurt. Her eyes were empty. She had no life in her anymore. He touched her cheek. "Please," he begged.

"I can't," her voice cracked.

"Yes you can Nay," he insisted. "You can leave him and stay here," he closed the kit and sat next to her. "Squid told me to watch over you and I haven't done a very good job," he moved the strands of hair that were covering her face. He saw the bruise on her face. "Stay here for the night don't go back please Nay," he looked at her. She looked down.

"Stanley I can't stay here. He'll just hurt you and I don't want that to happen," Nayel got up and grabbed her jacket. Caveman grabbed her hand.

"Nayel," he said with a worried tone of voice. "If you go back you might die and I won't let that happen,"

"That's just a chance I'll have to take," she said and headed out of the room. He went after her and grabbed her shoulder.

"He doesn't love you," he said. "Zig loved you,"

"Well Stanley Zig is dead. My dad died. I have no one but Eddie left," she looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"You have me," he said and looked back at her.

"But you...," she shook her head and continued down the stairs.

"You have Squid too," he yelled behind her. "If you won't talk to me or stay with me. Run to him. He'll take care of you," Nayel stopped dead in her tracks and took in every word Caveman said. She knew he was right but would Squid help her?

"Yeah whatever," was all she said and left. She got into her car and sat there for awhile. Caveman's words rang in her head. She started the car and headed to where Squid was. She couldn't handle her situation anymore she had to run to someone that she knew loved her and would take care of her.
