I felt something slimy run across my cheek making my eyes snap open from the sting it brought. I looked over to see Bennie staring at me with worried eyes.

I began to sit up but my body tensed all over from pain sticking through my- well everywhere. I let my body fall back on to the ground.  I let out a large breath as my muscles relaxed and the pain subsided. 

"What happened?" I asked out loud trying to remember why I was laying on the ground in so much pain.  When I spoke I felt pain around my jaw and my head pounded from my voice. I slowly began to remember what happened. 

How Henry got another round of hits in before I passed out.  He was screaming like always as I covered myself the best I could.  He kept going until I passed out. 

Bennie crawled closer letting out a low whine before liking my face again, causing pain to erupt over my cheek.

"stop" I whispered as I lifted my hand to push his face away.  My arm ached with the movement. I felt bad when he whined again trying to stay close to me.

"It's okay boy." I said through the pain as I pushed myself up.  I leaned against the couch for support. "Just give me a few minutes and I'll be back to normal." I stated trying to convince myself. I pushed my self to stand up, gritting through pain, as I walked towards the bathroom. 

I stepped in expecting to see a few bruises but instead I was greeted with half my face being all purple and swollen. There where a few bruises on the otherwise of my face but my right side must have slammed into the coffee table or something.

By the looks of it he didn't stop after I passed out he must have kept going for an hour or until he was tired.  It looks like he was making up for the lost time. At least Blake isn't here to freak out and good thing James isn't here. I wouldn't put it past him calling Blake and telling him everything. 

I sighed as I closed the bathroom door locking Bennie in the hall so I could take a shower to try and ease my tense muscles. Everything seemed to lock up from the pain making it hard to move and quite hard to breath. I twisted the shower nob on and adjusted it to a temperature not to hot but also not to cold. I had to have the right temperature since my skin is so sensitive right now and I would prefer to not cause myself even more pain.

I slowly peeled my clothing off trying to avoid the pain as much as possible. Sadly there is no avoiding it; not when my whole body was aching from just standing. I feel like I was swallowed up by a hurricane and then ran over with a minivan full of football player. Okay I may be exaggerating a little bit but my body does feel like its better off dead.

I slowly let my body adjust to the water. I felt more relaxed now that I didn't have to move and I could just stand here for hours with the warm water running down my back. The water was calming to my senses as it allowed the feeling   of him disappear from my body, so now the only trace of him was the bruises he graciously left across my skin.

Oh how sweet of him.
