I ran through the apartment searching for a place to hide. I could hear his footsteps pounding on the marble floors behind me. I looked down at the floor. I was leaving traces of blood everywhere. Even if I hid, he would find me. I couldn't let him hit me again, though. Once was enough and I just had to at least try to get away. He was so big and strong compared to my small frame. I knew what he was capable of. He could kill me if he wanted to.
"There you are." He said in a scary voice.
I backed up against the wall. "Jason… please, don't." I begged.
"But Amy… you made me mad… and you know what happens when I get mad."
"Please… I'm so sorry! Just stop!" I held my wrist as I begged. He had cut me and now there was blood everywhere.
"But baby," he cooed. "I haven't even started." He punched me in my face and I slid to the floor, crying…
I woke up in a cold sweat, sitting in an upright position on my bed. For the past three nights in a row, I'd waken up with the same dream. Dream… if one could even call it that. It was a nightmare... a horrible nightmare that I actually lived a few weeks ago.
I leaned over and turned the lamp on. I looked at my wrist… and there it was – the hideous scar Jason left me with. I almost cried just looking at it.
"Baby, it's four in the morning. Why do you have the light on?" Jason asked in a sleepy tone.
"I uh… I had a bad dream, that's all." I said.
"Oh. Come here." Jason said as he pulled me closer to him. "What was it about?" He drifted in and out of sleep as he spoke.
I hesitated before I brought it up. "The night… that night you… the night you hit me." I said in a small voice.
Jason sat up, now wide-awake. "I told you never to bring that up again!" He yelled.
"I'm sorry. It's just… well, you wanted to know."
Jason sighed. "I'm sorry I hurt you, Li." He said.
I nodded. He moved closer to me and gently kissed my cheek. "Now get to sleep. I have work tomorrow."
I tried to get back to sleep – but I couldn't stop thinking about that night…
