Smack! The surprise blow landed across the right side of my face just as I opened the door. Immensely stinging, right away I closed my hand over the exact spot that had just been hit. Finding the nearest wall behind me I slid down it and sat on the wooden floor, now painted black with the darkness of the moonlight.
Tears immediately welled up in my eyes. I wanted to scream. I didn't know what I did wrong. I didn't even know who had hit me. A voice broke the tearful silence and spoke sadly while trying to hold and comfort me.
"Hunter, baby. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, baby."
Dark brown eyes came into focus, along with perfectly coifed brown hair. It was Charlie, my ex-boyfriend. Who had been labeled an 'ex' as of noon that same day.
"Get off me! Why are you here!" I let out in a sort of shriek.
"But, I didn't mean t- I was just mad! You know what? Never mind. Fuck you! You deserved it," Charlie spat to me.
Tears began flowing in bountiful masses from my eyes and down my cheeks just before he spoke once again.
"You've been acting like such a little bitch to be honest. And, little do you know, I had a new little twink sucking on this pipe, cause you didn't want to." Charlie said while grabbing his crotch obscenely.
"Go away, just go... Please." I asked him slowly.
"I'll go when I'm good and ready."
A second voice came along clear as day, interrupting this anger filled, one-sided conversation.
"Which should be right now."
I looked up to see the face of my neighbor, the godly recluse from 3C who moved in a couple months ago, he looked confused at the scene unfolding before him and then suddenly stone-faced and looking hard at Charlie.
"Who the fuck are you, man?! Mind your business." Charlie spoke with look of disdain crossing his face.
