“Today will be an unusual day. We are short on teachers and you will study just one module today, with intern Sebastian. We have a small number at the institution, but tomorrow everything will be back to normal. - the director informed in a brief visit to the classroom to welcome.
As the hours of class ticked by, I was taking my notes and totally ignoring Sebastian's glances in my direction, until it finally ended, the hours passed so slowly and it wasn't at all what I'd imagined, I hadn't enjoyed my first one one bit. college day.
I slipped into the crowd as people walked out the door, so I could be one of the first out. Unfortunately the looks of that man, were awakening triggers in me about what happened to Leonel, it was almost the same way that the damned looked at me and I was just a child.
— Livia Garden? Can you stay? I need to talk to you about something about class. I heard the intern's voice.
"But what's there to talk about?" It's only day one and you're not even the teacher. I said defensively.
- Wow. You're pretty skittish, aren't you? He spoke softly and approached me.
— Tell me, I'm really in a hurry. I took a step back, looked around and the room was already empty.
“I want you to go out with me, that's all.
- You are crazy? I have a boyfriend and even if I didn't I wouldn't date you! I exclaimed indignantly.
— Stop playing hard to get, I know the type of girl you can be... I've fucked almost all the newbies, they all want me, why not you? — he whispered and an immense rage rose through my body, through my blood, I couldn't contain myself and I slapped him hard on the face.
"Pay close attention to what and how you talk to me, you imbecile!" I will report you for harassment. — I turned around, stomping on the ground full of hate and went outside.
The triggers came crashing down, making my heart pound and my lungs ache with shortness of breath, I tried to calm myself, taking deep breaths, knowing I was having a crisis. I knew I wouldn't be able to report it at that moment, so I went to the parking lot next to the institution, to wait for Demétrio to come get me.
But he took his time. As I watched everyone leave, the number of people dwindling, the dread and fear inside me building. I had already been waiting for almost half an hour, so tired of waiting and with a bad feeling, I got up from where I was sitting and started walking towards the farm, if Demetrius was in the way, we would meet.
I was already a few meters away when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped and turned to face the source of my fear.
"What are you still doing here?" Want tutoring classes? It's dangerous at certain times to be alone here. - Sebastian said, giving a mischievous smile.
“Which is totally wrong because it's supposed to be a safe place. But that's probably because of maniacs like you, I'm expecting my boyfriend. I said without looking at his face and continued walking.
"Are you waiting walking?" I think he forgot you, sweetie. he said sarcastically.
- Leave me alone please.
"Let me keep you where you're going?" He started to walk faster beside me.
- No. I'm going alone. — my heart was racing with fear, it was already a desert and that man's insistence was making me terrified.
- For! I know you're just playing hard to get... You want it as much as I do, don't you? - he said and started to get closer to me, there was a wall nearby and I screamed when he pressed me against it and passed his hand on my leg.
When he touched my leg, I felt a horrible chill, a feeling of disgust and anger, but I couldn't react. All that nightmare I lived when my stepfather tried to abuse me was coming up in my thoughts.
- So as to. Let me go! I screamed, squeezing my eyes shut as if when I opened it, everything would just be a nightmare. Hot tears streamed down my face.
- Shhh... - The moment he said that very close to my ear, I took strength from where I didn't have to push him and run away.
- Help! I yelled.
But he was behind me. What a horrible situation! I was being chased by an abusive man, I was so scared and my body was shaking.
I ran with all my strength to the doors of the institution, and I screamed again when I felt him pull me by the hair and pin me to the wall next to the huge door.
— I'll teach you not to run away from me, not to slap me and not to treat me like a dog. No woman treats me like this, you won't be the first to do this and get away with it! - he spoke with his face close to mine, covered my mouth with his hand and held my hair tight.
With my free arms I tried to push him and I bit his hand, when I was about to escape, he grabbed me by the waist and I screamed again. I was in shock when he reached a hand under my dress. I struggled some more but he was too strong for me.
"Get your damned, filthy hands off her!" I heard Demetrius' voice and then, like a blink of an eye, Sebastian was pulled away from me.
It falls to the ground, desolate.
Demetrius threw him to the ground, throwing several punches to his face. I started crying desperately, terrified of the whole situation, as Demetrius beat the idiot to the ground.
"Don't ever touch my wife or anyone else with her will!" You damn! — every word was a punch — Son of a bitch!
Demétrio's cell phone was slipping out of his pocket, so I struggled to get up and grabbed it from his pocket.
"Demetrius, that's enough." I will call the police. I said shakily.
I couldn't let Demetrius kill him, he beat him up and if I killed him I would go to jail for murder, justice sucks and maybe it might not matter if he was defending me or not.
"Demetrius, that's enough!" I yelled.
He didn't look at me, but he stopped punching the asshole. I dialed the number and reported the situation, amazingly they arrived quickly, or they were just nearby.
Demetrius had stopped hitting Sebastian, but only got off him when the police arrived. They asked me a bunch of questions and I just answered as truthfully as possible. I was still traumatized and in shock.
One of the policemen was an old friend of Demétrio's and said that he would try to relieve him if he was denounced for aggression on the part of the bastard, who was still breathing.
Just after all the procedures, Demetrius came close to me, he opened his arms and I threw myself at him. Sobbing.
"My love... My beautiful..." There was a lot of pain and guilt in her voice.
- What happened? Why did you take so long? I cried compulsively.
“Forgive me for this, beautiful, I beg you. He started to cry too . — The car's tire got flat on the way, there was no spare tire because we used it that day when we came to town and afterwards I didn't bother to adjust it. I had to walk a long way to get to a rubber shop.
I hugged him tighter.
"Take me home, I never want to come back here." he said with a sob.
So Demetrius did, took me home. He was feeling guilty, the whole way he was asking me to forgive him for taking so long, he was devastated too.
We arrived at the farm, we told my father everything, Maria wasn't there but I was so bad that I didn't even ask for her, I just wanted my room and to be alone.
My father went crazy, he wanted to go after the man, he got really angry, but Demétrio said he had already taken care of everything. My father hugged me and gave me affection until I asked to go upstairs, because I really wanted to take a shower and go to bed.
I went up to my room and into the bathroom, startled when Demetrius walked in behind me. I frowned as he knelt on the floor.
"What can I do for you to forgive me?" Demetrius' voice came out with such pain.
- What are you doing? Get up . It wasn't your fault my love. The only culprit is that bastard. — he got up and hugged me tightly — Just promise to never leave me alone again?
"I promise, I promise…" he whispered, stroking my back as he held me close.
We held each other in silence for a while.
