Lucky Me...

This is my first story and I apologize if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes!
'Mirella open the damn door!' Reva shouted as he banged the door with his fist. 'God, I hope he's not that drunk again' Mirella whispered as she approached the door. 'Mirella!' Mirella just stood there, reluctant to open the door. She remembered the last time he was this drunk. He had slapped her and had thrown her to the wall for not opening the door when he called.

She knew it was going to happen again but what could she do. She couldn't manage to survive on her own. She was too weak, fragile and she dropped out of school when she was in the 11th grade, she was just so dependent on her mother. And when her mother died, she was alone. She didn't know the rest of her family. And that was when Reva took her in. He clothed her, fed her, sheltered her in his own home. She had to just deal with the daily abuses. Hey, everything has it's price...

'MIRELLA! OPEN THE FRICKIN' DOOR!' Reva hollered! Mirella sighed and opened the door and a blow came to her face. She fell to the floor, and blood dripped from her ,now, bleeding nose. 'Listen bitch! My house, my rules! I don't want to repeat myself for the 200th time! Got it?!' Mirella nodded, her head still throbbing from the pain.

Reva forced a kiss on her, she could taste the alcohol in his mouth. Reva then went to the bedroom where he slammed the door. Mirella got up and guided herself to the bathroom. She sighed and looked in the mirror. Parts of her wavy, long black hair were soaked with blood. And her sapphire eyes red from the unwanted pain.

She washed her hair and took a short shower. After half-an-hour, she crept up to the room and there he was, passed out on the bed, drunk.'Why can't you be the way you used to be...?'

She remembered the way he was 8 months ago. He was this warm, loving, tender, gentle man who came home on time and treated Mirella with the love and respect that she felt she needed. Now he was just this bastard who came home drunk and late every night and abused her.

Mirella cleaned his face with a wet cloth. She was in love with him but the old Reva. She was so sure that the real Reva was in there somewhere and she wanted to bring it out of him. She wanted the old Reva back! She knew Reva loved her, he just had so many problems ever since that happened...
