“Ariana! Get down here now, you waste of space!” The yelling is becoming more frequent and I close my eyes, breathing deeply. I can hear his footsteps pounding up the stairs, each one more angrier and forceful than the last. My bedroom door swings wide open, smashing against the wall.
“Mark, don’t do this,” I whisper, backing up into the corner of my bed. I grab the closest teddy towards me, sinking my fingers into the soft fur. His eyes narrow at me, chest rising and falling heavily.
“Mark?? Call me Dad, you little piece of shît!” He screams at me, taking a step forward. I wince, tears building up in my eyes. I stopped calling him Dad because he wasn’t my father anymore. No way. A father doesn’t cause unimaginable pain to their daughter.
A father loves and protects.
“I’m sorry,” I mutter an apology, sinking my fingers deeper inside the fur of my teddy. I can feel the beads on the inside, digging under my nails. At that moment, I wish for my mother harder than I’ve ever wished before. I wish she never died, turning my father into the monster he’s become. He takes another step forward but I’m already working on zoning myself out.
If I don’t think, I don’t feel.
“You know I hate you, right??” He hisses at me. I silently nod, tears continuously streaming down my face. When I feel pain, I scream until my throat burns. I scream until I’m on the verge of passing out, my eyes rolling to the back of my head. I scream until I feel warm hands, shaking my shoulders, pushing back my hair, soothing me.
I scream until I know I’m safe.
“I’ll kill him, I swear to you, I will find him and I WILL KILL HIM.” Alex says over and over again, holding me tightly as I hyperventilate from the nightmare. I have to close my eyes and breathe deeply, bringing myself back to the present tense.
“How much do you know??” I whisper, my body trembling with fright. I grab a fistful of his shirt in my hands, burying my head into the crook of his neck. When I breathe in his scent. I realise why I stopped screaming.
I felt safe.
“I know enough.” He murmurs, his voice laced with anger. I keep my eyes closed, focusing on my breathing. I regularly had nightmares but not ones that were so vivid and lifelike. I’d end up screaming out for help in the darkness of the night, alerting anyone I can.
“Listen to me Ariana,” Alex says firmly, his hand massaging the back of my hair.
“I will never let anyone hurt you ever again.” He continues, his voice soft. When I pull back to look up at him, his eyes are covered in a glossy sheen, unshed tears. I knew at that moment that he could feel my pain and I reach out, placing a hand on his cheek. His eyes remain fixed on mine.
“Don’t make a promise you can’t keep” I whisper, giving him a small smile. I can taste my tears invading my mouth but I let them run freely, I’m not scared of showing my pain to Alex. He shakes his head, his arms tightening around me. I’m sitting in his lap, the only light coming from a torch. It causes shadows around the tent, illuminating one side of Alex’s face.
“Give me a chance to prove it to you. I’ll protect you Ariana, with my life if I have to. Do you want to know why??” He asks, his warm breathing fanning my cheeks. I nod my head.
“Because you’re special. You’re worth it.” He breathes out, leaning forward to place his forehead against mine. I close my eyes, breathing in his scent deeply. His words chip away at the block of pain in my chest, making it easier for me to breathe.
The panic inside my chest melts away and I’m back to being myself, not a scared little girl. Alex leans back and presses a kiss against my forehead, igniting the area with flames. His lips barely hover over my skin but the touch of them has me weakening at the knees.
“You’re my kind of drug, hermosa.” Alex murmurs, the corner of his lips tugging upwards. I smile back at him and giggle quietly.
“You do know you’re going to need rehab after you’re done with me??” I tease him. His eyes flash with humour, sparkling at me despite how dark it is around us.
“Who says I’m ever going to be done with you??” He asks, one brow arched up at me. His words causes caged butterflies to fill my stomach and I smile, biting down on my lower lip. I want to respond but the truth is, I don’t really know what to say to that.
Being speechless around Alex is starting to become a regular thing.
