"Ahh, don't worry baby, if you don't screw up I won't have to hurt you." He smiled.

I was curled up on the bedside. My cheek still hurt. I rub it. Val pushes me forward. He lifts my chin up.

"I'm sorry." I say.

"You should be." He says. 

I don't know this feeling. It feels dark and cold. I don't feel like I'm surrounded by roses. I feel like I'm surrounded by swords just waiting to stab me. He moves his hands around me. His fingernails dig into my skin. It feels like spiders crawling up me. 

"You will obey me from now on, I don't give a fuck if you have other things to do." He said.

"But you said-" I start.

He hits me hard again. I let out a breath. 

"Stop thinking about others. We had a deal. I helped you with your revenge and you just do what I tell you to. It doesn't seem that fucking hard to understand." He said. 

I nod. Val licked the side of my face. Ew. I don't know what's happening, but this isn't over. He looks into my eyes with daggers. I feel his anger. I feel his fingers ripping into me. He sticks his tongue out as he presses my face into his.
