Beta Reader: Zephyr Hearts

"Where the hell have you been?" Fitz screamed in a hoarse tone, pushing me against the wall as soon as the door closed.

"I-I was w-with Alli shopping. I swear." I stuttered out, fear clouded my eyes.

"You're supposed to be with me. I'm your boyfriend, remember?" He shouted, slamming me against the wall; causing the back of my head to come in contact with it.

"Yeah, I k-know b-but I haven't seen Alli in s-such a long time, and she wanted to take me shopping." I said, trying to calm the uncontrollable rage he had at this very moment.

"Shopping? SHOPPING?" He screamed, louder, questioning my answer as if he didn't believe me; to be honest, I know he didn't.

"Fitz, keep it down the neighbors are going to hear." I whispered, still being blocked by Fitz.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do. You don't deserve any more clothes. You're only aloud time with me!" Fitz growled, and then pulled himself off of me, I thought that he would go and blow off steam somewhere. But no, he surprised me by slapping me, harder than the first time he ever did, and that time left a bruise for a week.

We walked into the hallway that led into the living room. I set my bag alongside the wall and looked around. There were bottles of beer scattered across the room and three bottles of vodka on the coffee table. There were also clothes and pizza boxes scattered in various places.

"Fitz? Why is there beer and vodka everywhere?" I gasped.

He shrugged. "Why do you need to know?"

"Well, I just thought that you would never drink, because, you said you never did." I responded softly.

"So?" He then sat down on the couch and flipped on the TV, acting as if it was no big deal to him. But he knew that this was a big deal to me.

"So? Why did you lie to me?" I asked, trying to hide the hurt in my voice.

He was tuned into the TV and I didn't want to let him get away with it. This was a huge thing to me, so why would he do it?

I walked over to the TV and turned it off. I faced him, "Fitz? Why are you drinking when you know that I don't like people close to me drinking?"

He stood up from the couch and walked up to me. "Move" He demanded.

"Answer me Fitz!" I shouted, ignoring his demand.

"Don't tell me what to do! Now move!" He yelled back at me.

I stayed there, my hands on my hips, standing firm in my place.

Then his eyes grew dark, something I've never seen before on him. It scared me a little, but before I could show any signs of fear, he backed away and slapped me. I took such great surprise from the slap that it flew me out of his way, and me landing on the floor.

I looked back up at him, with my hand resting on my cheek. My eyes suddenly grew a blur, and I couldn't focus them. I closed my eyes, and tried to focus on the pain, but my whole left side of my cheek grew numb and burned.

I opened my eyes to look back up at him through the blur. I saw his face vaguely, but I saw the regret clearly.

He bent down and tried to pull my hand away from my cheek, but I slid away from him. He came closer and attempted again, I would've shooed him away again, but I didn't because I lost all of my strength.

His eyes widened, and he rested his hand on my cheek. I winced and shut my eyes closed tightly.

"Oh my god! I'm so, so sorry! I didn't mean to! I didn't know what came over me! God, I'm such a jackass!" He stated. "I got caught up in the moment! I'm truly, truly sorry Clare! Please, you have to forgive me." He stated.

Now at that moment you would think that I would run out of there as soon as possible so I could get the police, but I didn't. I heard the sincerity throughout his voice, and I couldn't stand running away from him. I loved him too much.

So, I nodded slowly, and smiled weakly. "I forgive you." I whispered.

He gasped out a breath that I assumed he was holding and smiled thankfully. "I don't think I could ever forgive myself if I lost you. You mean so much to me Clare. I will never, ever let this happen again, I love you too much. Now, c'mon, let's go get that cleaned up. There's a first aid kit in the bathroom."

I nodded and he helped me stand up, and walked me to the bathroom.

I never mentioned the beer or alcohol again.

That was the nicest he ever was after hitting me. From then on he just cared less and less until he didn't even care at all, like yesterday.

I hid my face behind my curly hair, and I whimpered silently.

Then my phone rang.

Fitz rolled his eyes and went inside my purse that was still on my shoulder. I found my phone looked at the screen

"Who the fuck is Eli?" He asked mercilessly.

Oh no.

"I have a new English partner. That's him." I whispered, staring at the vibrating phone in his hand.

He glared at me and then opened the phone and put it to his ear. "Hello?" He asked in a regular voice.

"Hi. Who's this?" I heard Eli ask on the other line.

"This is Clare's boyfriend. I'm sorry but she's busy right now." He almost growled into the phone, still glaring at me.

"Oh well can you tell her to meet me out front of the school tomorrow?' Eli asked sweetly.

"I'm sorry, but she might not make it." He barked and slammed my phone shut. "I thought I said that you couldn't hang out with boys?" His jealousy fired in his eyes.

"I told you, h-he's my English partner. I have no choice." I argued back.

"That's bullshit. Ask the teacher for a new partner." He said.

"I can't, everybody already has a partner." I whimpered in response.

He then forced himself on me in a kiss. The kiss surprised me, but I soon lost thought of anything that previously occurred. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist. I smiled into the kiss, and he pulled me away from the wall and guided me through the living room.

He sat me down on the couch and pushed me down to lay on it, I was hesitant, but I complied anyway. Fitz climbed on top of me, and crawled his way up so that his waist met mine.

He then started to roam one hand all around my body while his other held his weight up.

I let him, even though it was pushing my boundaries, I still couldn't stop him.

I didn't even notice that my blouse was already unbuttoned and he was working on the clasp of my bra. I know if I didn't stop now, I wouldn't be able to. I slid his hand away from my breast and put my hand on his cheek instead, but he placed his hand back on it and tried again. I pushed it away.

I pulled my mouth away from his and gasped as he started fumbling with the clasp for a third time. I pushed his hand away and held it there, "Fitz… stop." I breathed.

He then abruptly sat up and slapped me again, on the same cheek as before. "You are such a tease!" He shouted.

I held my cheek, and looked at him. He's broken his promise, yet, again. He leaned down and kissed my cheek and rested his forehead against mine. "I'm sorry! I just get extremely jealous if I even think about other guys touching you. I-I just… god, why do I keep doing this to you?"

"Good question…" I responded

"Look, Clare, I'm truly sorry, I love you! I just want best for you that's all. I guess I do get a little protective, I guess I just need to tell him that you're mine, for me to be okay with this okay?"

I nodded. He buttoned up my shirt and sat up, smiling at me. "How can I ever hurt this face ever again?"

"Will you?" I asked sitting up as well.

"Never, ever again." He whispered, and then kissed me. "You want to watch a movie?" Fitz asked me. I chewed on my bottom lip and swallowed nervously.

"Sure."

Fitz and I walked up to the school hand in hand, I was laughing at something he brought up and then I saw Eli sitting on the front steps. I stopped laughing and smiled at the sight. Fitz noticed my sudden abrupt stop and looked in the same direction.

"That's Eli." I pointed him out and Fitz nodded.

We walked up to him. When Eli noticed me walking his way he looked surprised but smiled anyway. We stepped in front of him, and he stood up.

"Boyfriend?" Eli asked the both of us.

"Yeah," Fitz responded, "Sorry about being a dick on the phone, I was just… having one of those days..."

"Mmm…" Eli nodded.

"So, I'm just going to get right to the point. I'm very protective of Clare, and if I find out you try something, there will be hell to pay. Got it?" Fitz annoyingly replied.

Eli raised his eyebrows. "I've only known her a day, and you assume I would try something on her?"

"No, well you get the point." Fitz then turned to me and forcefully planted a sloppy kiss on me, then left me to go with his friends, standing there, in an awkward situation.

"Well isn't he prince charming?" Eli asked, sarcasm poisoning his tone.

"Yeah….so what did you want to talk about."

"Well, I just wanted to know if you could tell me the way Mrs. Dawes works."

I looked at him funny.

He chuckled, "You know, her weaknesses and how to suck up? How the class works, exedra, exedra."

I rolled my eyes. "Sure, yeah," I shook my head.

He narrowed his eyes, and then he looked at me weirdly. "What?" I asked.

"What's that?" he pointed to the side of my face.

"What's what?" I asked confused.

He lifted the hair that was covering my cheekbone and put his finger on it lightly. I winced a little, but took out my little mirror that was in my purse.

I lifted it so I could see what he was talking about and widened my eyes. There was a circle right in front of my earlobe.

I can't believe I missed a spot! How could I be so stupid?

"Oh…that." I said and lowered my mirror and put it back.

"What happened?"

"It's quite an embarrassing story actually…" No, it wasn't, I just needed time to think of something.

"Ohh! Embarrassing! Do tell!" He smirked.

"I uh…"I looked over at Fitz and his friends and noticed he was looking at us too.

"Just…smacked my head on the mail box when I got the mail…"

He chuckled. "Mm….wow. So, lead the way?" He asked, changing the subject quickly.

I half smiled and headed up the steps of the school, a pair of intense green eyes following right behind me.
