Falling for my Bully
The fear that I felt was something I could taste, first at the tip of my tongue and then at the retreating fold into my throat. I swallowed, ever so painfully, on the lump in my throat.
“We’re not going to hurt you—” one of them said in a mocking voice, “—much,” the other guy completed with a chuckle.
My legs had given out in fear, and I had fallen to the ground. I curled myself up, hoping to protect my face and stomach when the kicks and blows came raining down.
