1Chapter Nine – Beautiful

David came running

Shots were fired and heard.

Samantha was pulled from the room

Pinned to the hallway wall

Arms locked at her sides.

David began nuzzling,

Caressing her neck with his mouth.

Samantha cried,

Doomed for a repeat

But he said to be quiet

That it was all okay

As he kissed her on the mouth

Not like before

Not like it was for his pleasure

With no intentions of pain.

David sucked the fear away.

Samantha stood wide-eyed in shock.

David said he'd loved her

Hadn't meant what he had done

Didn't want it to happen again

Said he was sorry

Couldn't bear to see her hurt

Said he looked past the dirt and the pain

Told her she was beautiful

Thought the dress was worthless

Said she made it lovely.

He wanted her

He had her

She was his

Samantha closed her eyes.

David pulled her to him

And kissed her softly, gently, sweetly.
