Troy's expression was blank. He was just staring at me, he never has done this. I was petrified.
" So, how was the hospital."
" Fine Troy. It was painful but fine"
" Good. Good Luna"
Hey started to walk behind me and I stayed still out of fear. It was like being stalked by a lion.
" Did the hospital tell you what happened"
" Yeah, A guy tried to rob us and I got caught in the crossfire essentially "
" Perfect. We're they good to you"
" They were all very sweet"
" Good"
He was just circling me and looking at up and down. Soon he went behind me and stayed there.
" So did you get any visitors"
" Mrs Adler came and that's really all I know"
" Oh really?"
" yeah, I was out for a few days"
I was so petrified. I didn't mention Calix out of fear of him knowing a guy was there. I had no idea what was going on. I started to shake and my palms started getting sweaty. Even Violet was silent. My chest felt tight and my heart kept going from my throat to my stomach.
" So I actually came to visit you. Not out of Care but out of curiosity of what I did to you. And what I found was extremely disturbing Luna"
His feet slowly started to move closer to me. Suddenly he pulled my head back and held a small switchblade to my throat.
" Who the fuck brought you flowers Luna! I know it wasn't Adler because she wouldn't have known then. Who was it Luna! Who the fuck are you talking to! Are you cheating on me! I will fucking end you!"
I started to cry and almost threw up from the fear. I don't know who could have done anything. How could I when I was unconscious.
" I don't know Troy I was knocked out! I didn't even know you came to see me! The only visitor was Adler and that was today! I don't know Troy"
My voice was shaking like an earthquake. After he mentioned it I remembered the flowers but I didn't know who they were from. Only that the tag said M.
" That's it's bitch, your going off the grid. Your phone belongs to me until that flower giving fuck either shows himself or leaves you alone. And if it's a case of cheating, your not going to survive the next beating. Got it slut"
" Yes Troy"
" Good bitch. Now hand over that phone then go clean your self, you smell disgusting "
I gave him my phone, then ran off in tears. I didn't know what to do except shower. So I got nude and turned the shower on. Luckily the hot water was replenished so I turned it to the hottest I could. As I waited for the water to heat up I sat on the toilet and cried. I heard a bang on the door.
" your clothes are on the floor slut. "
" ok Troy "
I got into the shower just to get away from the pain and fear of Troy. The hot water burned but it felt better than the pain I had in my heart. I had no idea who gave me the flower, let alone who knew I was in hospital beside Troy. My quiet sadness was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice
" Dude what are we going to do"
" How the fuck am I supposed to know Violet! I just got back from the hospital and I was just threatened with my life for something I have no idea about! What do you think I'm going to do jump and dance? Unless you have a master plan or know who gave me the flowers, we're fucked beyond belief "
" Don't catch an attitude with me bitch I'm just trying to help. "
" Look I just wanna be alone. Go think of a plan or something."
" Asl him if you get your phone in school or when he's not around or something like that. Maybe he'll allow that?"
" I will now just leave please, Violet! "
" ok ok I'm going. Jeez"
She had a fair point. I gave what she said some though while I showered. My shower was quick after that. All the other gross shit washed off in the shower. My hair felt soft again. I wrapped myself up in the bather towels and walked to our bed room. I found my clothes on the floor. And g string thong, really short shorts, and ripped crop top, and a black choker. I hated this type of clothing, it always made me feel vulgar. I would protest but I really had no choice. I quickly got dressed and did my hair. After I quickly walked out and wait for Troy to say something to me. He slowly walked around the hallway corner and stared me up and down. His mouth went to a grin. He slowly moved his finger in circle telling me to spin around. I did as instructed. As I turned I heard him chuckle slowly. I completely the 360 view and stood back forward again.
" You look good like a slut, and even better all bruised and broken. Your lucky I jerked of earlier or your ass would be pounded right now. "
I shook my head quickly.
" Go make me a sandwich would ya? I'm hungry. "
" Yes Troy. Uhm I have a question about my phone"
" what is it slut? I thought I made myself clear."
" Uhm do I get my phone like at school or when your not home."
" The phone is mine. The only device you get to use is the computers at school. The only time you get your phone back is when this issue is solved"
" Ok Troy."
" Now make me something bitch."
With that last request I was off. He smacked my ass on the way to kitchen. I'm hoping that he will get over this quickly but I doubt it. I made him his sandwich and walked it to him on the couch. He smacked the seat next to him and pointed for me to sit. I did as instructed and sat. He had the tv on and we just sat and watched it for a few hours. No talking, no I contact, no nothing. Occasionally he would play with his knife as if he was trying to intimidate me with it. It was one of the most awkward and strangest time we had together. Soon enough it was time for bed. We walked together to our bed. I watched has he got in the sheets. I turned the lights off and went on the floor. I don't get much sleep that night out of fear.
Morning couldn't have came sooner. I knew it was a Wednesday and Troy was going to make me go to school. I got up and woke him up for school. I was greeted with a punch to the stomach and some murmurs of him calling me a dumb whore. As he was going to the shower I started getting ready and mad him breakfast. I took one of my painkillers I came home with and the bottle was half gone. Troy must have taken some during my shower yesterday and had a trip. I brushed it off and continued with his breakfast. When I was done I sat on the couch and waited patiently. Troy walked out slowly to his breakfast but basically swallowed it home.
" Did you like it Troy "
" Come here and I'll tell you"
I walked over and he decked me in the face for no reason.
" Don't you speak to me unless spoken too. I've been too loose with you. Your whole life is about to flip. "
He swept my legs so I was on my knees. He kicked me in the stomach and spat on me.
" I'm still furious about those flowers. I need to blow some steam off. I'll give you the choice. I beat you up, or I beat those insides up"
I reluctantly said the sex so my outsides wouldn't feel like shit. He got it over with it quick. It was painful, my hair was pulled, I was getting smacked every few minutes. My insides were numb. The only thing I was happy about is that he used a condom.
" Good choice whore. I loved it when you screamed like a bitch "
I tried to hold back the tears. I hated every time we did something like that. I pushed all of it back and put a brave face on. Me and Troy got in the car and headed off to school. The only thing that kept me going was last period like always.
Troy's eyes hunted me down in every period. In the classes without assigned seats he sat next to me and watched everybody to see if someone was looking at me. In the classes with assigned seats was the same but I could feel his eyes on me. I hated this ' world flip' as Troy put it. I hated every second of it. Even lunch was bad because he practically covered me with his body and watched the entire room. 9th period couldn't have came quicker. I practically ran into Calix's class. Troy watched the rest of the class walk into my class. The boy just walked in and talked about dungeons and dragons. He even watched Calix until the bell rang. He eventually left and it was just peaceful.
"Alright class we're going to study for the ready this Friday. All your notes from the last few days will be in the test so just study that. Just don't be crazy and you guys can do what you want. Also Luna come up front, I have to catch you up in the notes"
As he finished I rushed up to him after finished talking, partly cause I wanted to see him after yesterday. I walked up to his desk and he sat there quietly.
" So how are you feeling Luna. You look horrible"
" Someone brought me flowers and now he's on the hunt to find them. He did if I was cheating he was going kill me and he had a knife to my throat. It was a lot. And this morning wasn't even better. He made me do stuff I didn't want to do. All day he's been looking for guys to blame for this shit and I'm just done"
" Jesus Luna. How do you live like this. Here's your lunch, I got the teachers lunch. It's just a sandwich but better then nothing "
" Yeah your right. Thanks, this means a lot more then you know. "
" No problem. Just eat and relax for a bit, sleep if you want. I'll send you the notes over email. "
" slight problem, he took my phone "
" You know what fuck him. I'll still send them, just sleep for now. I know you need it. "
" Thanks Calix. "
I walked back to my desk and ate my food and slept for 30 minutes. A nap never felt so good. I only woke up because of the bell, and Troy was already at the door. I gather my stuff and was the last to leave. I could tell Calix could see my face change as I walked to Troy. He quickly came up behind me and existed me out of the class all in view of Troy.
" Have a good day Luna and look at the notes I sent you "
Troy looked pissed by that.
" Ok I will. Have a good day"
Troy pulled me close to him and sarcastically waved to Calix. When we got a good distance away his hold became a hard grasp.
" I hate him, he has such and punchable face. When we're home we're having a talk about our new rules got it"
I nodded holding back tears. He let go of my waist and walked out of the building. He unlocked his car and I got in. He blared his music the whole way back giving me a head ache and Violet an attitude. We got home. I feared what was to come next.
