Cassie's POV

"Stop! Please!" I screamed, trying to push him away as he pulled my blonde hair.

He growled, his breath reeked of alcohol . "If you didn't do that, this wouldn't happen". He was right, this wouldn't happen if I just listened to him.

Ever since Steven became my boyfriend he had been abusing me. He'd holler me into his house and beat me up.

"I am only sixteen for God's sake!"I shouted at Steven. He grabbed fistfuls of my hair and pulled me closer to him.

I screamed in agony. "Look Cassie I'm only trying to do what's best for you", he hissed, like a snake

"I am only sixteen! And you are twenty!" I shouted, fed up with how he treats me.

Why was he doing this to me? I wanted to go home but Steven wouldn't let me.

Steven lived alone so whenever he had free time he would drag me into his house.

Fighting was never my thing but in this case I mustered up the courage to punch, kick and slap. Unfortunately, that got me nowhere

He punched me in the stomach. "Ow!!!"I screamed as I hissed in pain. I quickly wrapped my arms around my waist.

Steven's smile grew from ear to ear. "Oh Cassie... you really don't know how much I love you".

He loves me? I doubt that! "You don't love me! You're just a bloody monster!"I spat, my eyes wide with disgust.

He put one of his long, bony fingers to my lips. "You know that you're not allowed to swear ", he grinned.

"This is only your second week and you already broke a rule"he said. "Tsk tsk". "Now you will get another punishment", he smiled as he curled his fist and swung it as he punched my stomach again.

I cried in agony. I felt weak. I felt like my body betrayed me and gave up. Steven was torturing me.

"If you breathe a word to the police or any one I'll make sure your heart'll stop beating", he snarled.

He let go of my hair. "I'm going!"I shouted , grabbing my shoes and heading out the door but Steven managed to grab my hand.

"Where are you going?"he smiled, his crooked teeth showing. The fun isn't over yet".
