Riley p.o.v
------------------------------------------------------------
I woke beside my husband and looked at the alarm clock... 5:15am... OH SHIT IM GONNA BE LATE!!! I haven't prepared his breakfast or got his clothes out of the washer and put in the dryer. He is supposed to be up in 40 mins. I don't want to go through a rerun of last week.
I was sore for days from the beating and then the sex after. I couldn't do that again. I quickly got up quietly to make sure I didn't wake him up and went to the kitchen. He always eats three pancakes and 1 sausage in the morning and if the sausage isn't cooked right he will break my nose like last time.
So I start the pancakes and start the sausage at the same time making sure to make them just right. I put them on a plate and go to wake him up. I have his clothes on the dresser where he always gets dressed and wake him up. He sits up and scowls I thought I told you to wake me up at 6:30 am instead of 6:00 you lousy bitch, as I was back handed in the face I couldn't move I was surprised I forgot that.
He stands up and gets dressed and moves to the kitchen eats his food, and then comes close to me I flench away but he grabs me and throws me against the wall. Gets close to my ear, I try to remain still but my body still shakes with fear and Isaac says have dinner done by the time I get home slut.
Then walks out the front door I hear him drive away and I fall to the floor whimpering and crying why me. I don't want to be like this I never did but it all started when I met him. We were at a Starbucks I was the waiter he was a customer. I loved what I did it wasn't hard and I made easy money my parents kicked me out and it was enough to pay bills and grocery's but it all changed when Issac walked in he was kind and smart he was caring and loving, helpful, funny just loveable.
I fell in love with him the minute I laid my eyes on him. The name calling started first he would call me things like slut, whore, bitch, ugly, he once even questioned why he was with someone like me.
I even started to wonder myself why would someone like that be with someone like me im just Riley 23 years old Starbucks worker who's parents didn't want him after he came out as gay. So why did he want me? The first time he ever hit me was because we wouldn't have sex he wanted I didn't.
I would soon realize its not about what I want in trash I'm nothing. He beat and raped me that night but he was proud of me because I never said no again. I did try to leave but he dragged me inside by my hair and wouldn't let me leave by the time he was done with me I had 2 broken ribs and a broken heart.
I wished I never met him. He made me quite my job at starbucks and even made me stop talking to my friends Carter, Aron and Rachel. I was heart broken those were my friends since I was a kid and it was all gone.
I felt empty like a bottle that was left in the trash all I lived for was to clean and cook and help him. I tried everything I could to get away from him but he wouldn't leave. I am helpless. What am I supposed to do? I love him but does he love me... of course not or he wouldn't say all those mean things right or are they true?
So I sit in my corner and whimper and cry. I have to get up and clean the living room, bathroom, our room, the guest room, and the basement I'll leave the kitchen for last. I grab the bleach and a white drag I start wiping down all the counter tops in all the rooms. I go into the living room and push all the stuff out from under the couch.
I put all the clothes I find under the couch in the dirty hamper. What are these there lacy black and they don't feel soft... a thong?
I don't wear these type of thongs so there not mine but how did they get there? Did he have sex with someone on our couch? No Riley you cant think like this right now you have to clean this house. Before I have a chance to tell myself to shut up someones knocking on the door I wonder who that could be? I'm not allowed to let strangers in so I go to the peephole and check who it is... Aron. I could care less about punishment right now I missed him so much.
Me and aron were friends since we were 4 years old. When we met we were both 4 years old we met at the park and he caught me when some mean bully pushed me down the slide. Our moms met up and instantly became friends. We met Rachel and carter when we were 10 we all have been friend since. I threw open the door and gave him a bone crushing hug. Hey Dork get off me. Am I aloud to go inside? Of course Aron come sit down on the couch because I have to clean the rest of the house he laughs at me. Haha the almighty Riley is a house wife I through the couch pillow I was vacuuming under and told him to shut up. We laugh it of we talk about our favorite color, movie, food, desert, song, basically whatever we thought of. He told me about our friends successes Rachel has a restaurant in Europe named bone country, Carter just finished collage and is trying to become a lawyer. Aron said he became a owner of a new company and was even making bank. I didn't want to feel jealous but I couldn't help it I had dreams and my friends accomplished all theirs. I'm stuck here with issac I mean its not bad I just have to behave I love him and he loves me we will be alright.
