Reading is my escape

It felt like every time I pick up a book I end up getting swept into a different universe and I forget everything around me

I loved investing myself into words that take me away from my own life, only to be pushed into someone else's life

A life where I get to know every thought, feeling, and action of someone else to the point where the aspect of it becomes so lifelike

I loved reading from different perspective's because I disliked the way I viewed things

I hated being stuck in my thoughts, I felt like I needed to be protected from myself, my own mind

Most days I just wish someone would take me away from myself, that's precisely how I feel most of the time

Two hours passed by of me sitting on my bed reading a book called the cruel prince

Turning the page I suddenly heard the doorbell ring downstairs

I slowly set my book down on the table heading out my room, walking down the stairs I heard someone banging at the door

I invited Aaron over 15 minutes ago cause we had to do a math project together so I figured it was him

I opened it expecting Aaron but I suddenly came face to face with a man I've never seen before

"Where the fuck is your mom little girl!" he yelled looking down at me

Wow my mom really had terrible taste in men, this motherfucker looks like shrek

"Um I'm not sure, she's not here right now" I said growing nervous

"Your mother owes me fucking money!"

"Your her daughter aren't you" he said again stepping inside the house closing the door behind him

"Can you please leave, my moms not here right now but I p-promise I'll try to get you the money" I muttered backing away from him

"Are you a whore like your mom too, because your fucking dressed like it, your basically asking for it" he said as his gaze ran down my body

"Just because my legs are showing doesn't mean I'm asking for shit, please just leave"

"I'm pretty sure if I was to hurt you, your mom would be worried wouldn't she"

She wouldn't care, it would probably make her happy

"Get out" I said as he took steps towards me

He was too quick. He grabbed my waist pulling me against him as he began taking my shirt off

Panic flowed through me as my eyes started watering

This can't happen again, please stop

"Get the fuck off me! Please stop!" He took my shirt off while pushing me on the couch as his body came on top off mine

I cant move, I'm frozen in place while tears run down my face

memories came flooding back

I started yelling and pushing trying to get him off my body as he starts kissing my neck

"Shut the fuck up, this is what whores like you deserve" he said putting his hand in my shorts

Why me, why does this keep happening to me

Maybe it's my fucking fault, please just fucking kill me, I can't take this anymore

He starts kissing me and taking his belt off but I immediately bring my fist up slamming it across his face

"you bitch!" He goes to grab me again but I push him off me as I quickly grab the vase on table slamming it against his face

I quickly run into my room but suddenly hear his footsteps behind me causing me to lock the door behind me

I fall back onto the floor shaking, I'm pushing my knees up to chest while trying to control my breathing

Why does this keep happening to me

"I'm not gonna leave until you open this fucking door!" He screams banging on the door

I don't wan't this to happen to me anymore, I just want it to stop

I just want it all to stop

I want to be able to go home and be able to sleep without thinking someone is gonna come into my room and hurt me

Maybe I should just end it now

"Open the fucking door!" He keeps screaming

I wanted to be strong, I tried, I fucking tried, but I'm not strong enough, I can't do this anymore

Standing up I opened my closet grabbing the bottle of pills I usually hide from my mom

Come on Jennie, just fucking end it already

But then I notice how it's quiet all of a sudden

The man screaming and banging at my door wasn't making any sound

Did he leave?

Sitting back down on the floor I let my tears run down my face freely

Suddenly my door is kicked open and Aaron is standing there with a look of anger and worry across his face

"Jennie!" He runs up to me putting my face against his chest and wrapping his arms around me

"It's okay love I'm right here, I'm sorry, fuck I'm so sorry" he said bringing my face back as he wiped my tears with his hands

I forgot to put my fucking shirt back on so I was just in a bra meaning he could probably see my scars

He's gonna think I'm disgusting, he's gonna leave

He gets up going to stand behind me

"Who did this Jennie" he says lightly tracing my scars with his hands

"Please tell me, fuck I need to know love"

"Please don't look at them" I muttered not being able to control my tears

He walked back to stand in front of me, as I looked up to him I noticed his eyes watering

"Aaro-"

"I'm gonna make whoever did this to you fucking regret it, and just so you now, your fucking beautiful, it doesn't matter if you have scars on your skin, each scar means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you" he cut me off

It took me bye surprise when he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me against him

He was hugging me

"I never fucking hug people, but your an exception" he slowly uttered

I think I was falling for Aaron

"A-aron where did that guy infront my door go" I said pulling back

"I think it's best you stay in here for a bit I don't want you freaking out"

"What did you do"

He stood there looking at me nervously as I moved past him opening my bedroom door

Oh my god

The man was on the floor with a knife in his stomach

Aaron killed him
