When we got back to his house he grabbed my wrist again and forced me to get out of the car through the driver's side door. He dragged me into his house and up to his bedroom. I begged him to let me go, but he ignored me. He slapped me angrily across my face and let me fall to the floor. He then kicked my side out of frustration.

"I fuckin' warned you not to tell anybody!" he yelled as I lyed on the ground crying and holding my side in pain. He lit a cigarette and thought about what he should do. Then out of nowhere he said, "Take off your shirt."

I started crying harder as I shook my head no.

He kicked my side again and yelled, "Now!"

He continued to smoke his cigarette as I quietly took off my shirt through my tears. I tried to cover myself as much as possible because even though I was wearing a bra I felt as if he could see right through it. He grabbed my hair and pulled me to my feet. Then he pushed me against the wall and forced me to stand still. I was crying even harder and I could barely breathe.

Alex pressed his lit cigarette into my shoulder and used his other hand to press against my neck so I couldn't move. The pain mixed with my inability to breathe caused me to pass out.

I woke up on Alex's lap. We were sitting on the couch and he was watching a movie. My shirt was back on and Alex didn't look mad anymore but that didn't matter. I started struggling to get out of his grasps. He was a little surprised by my sudden movement and let me get off his lap, although he kept a good hold on my wrist.

"Let me go," I begged as I started to cry again. My shoulder and neck were both hurting but I tried to ignore the pain.

"Relax Kasey," Alex said soothingly as he stood up and pulled me a little closer. "I have forgiven you for what you did, and I'm not going to harm you any more tonight. However if anybody else finds out your life will be at risk. I'll see you tomorrow at school."

He led me over to the front door, and even though I just wanted to run like hell away from him, I forced myself to stay still as he opened the door for me. He leaned down and kissed my lips. I pulled away from the kiss instantly, but he just grabbed my chin and forced me to kiss him.
