“The bed frame creaks like a rusty swing swaying back and forth, moans like a haunted house and something like glass shatters.
Shatters inside of you and the tiny slivers of this horrible thing splinter off and travel through your veins, beelining it straight to your heart.
Next stop: brain. I tried to think of anything, anything except it hurts. It hurts. It hurts so bad. Quickly though, the pain became secondary to the fact that I thought I might actually die. I couldn't breathe.
No sound could get out of my mouth and no air could get in. And the weight of his body was crushing me to the point I thought my ribs would snap right in half and puncture a lung.”

“By 2:53 it was over.
He let go of my arms. It was over, it was over, I told myself.
When he ripped the nightgown out of my mouth, I started coughing and gasping. I had almost suffocated to death, but he couldn't even let me have that simple bodily reaction.
He clamped his hand over my mouth. He was out of breath, his mouth almost touching mine, his words wet: “Shut up. Shut up. Listen to me. Listen.”
He held my face still so that I had to look directly into his eyes. His eyes were the eyes he always had, but they burned me now, burned right into me.
“Shhshhshh,” he whispered as he peeled away strands of tear-soaked hair from my face, tucking them behind my ears, like, gently over and over again, his hands on me like it's the most normal thing, like this was just supposed to be.”
