Chapter 1 : It's over

I stormed out of the room angrily, then slammed that door behind me. I could hear the footsteps behind me - he was chasing me. I closed my eyes to fight back the tears. He was calling my name with his hoarse and deep voice. Must've been from the bottles of alcohol he drank earlier.
But that wasn't the main problem.
"Kat! Kat!" He shrieked my name. "Kat, wait up!"
I ran as fast as I could. I didn't exactly have a place in mind to go to, but it didn't matter. I have to get away from him as fast as possible. I dashed toward the busy road, risking my life, as drivers honked their cars in annoyance at me. I finally made it to the pavement, and I quickened my steps to a deserted park, assuming that he couldn't find me. But like always, I was wrong.
Just then, I tripped over a rock and fell. I landed knee-first and I groaned in pain. I looked down at my knee and tore away my jeans to reveal the spot where the pain had bewildered me. I found out that I was bleeding really badly. Blood tickled down my legs.
"Argh, fuck!" I cussed loudly.
"Kat, Kat!" the same rough voice called for me from behind.
My head whipped behind me, and I panicked when I saw him running after me. I struggled to get up, as the pain throbbed. My body tried to reject the pain, and I was sucked again and again into a blackness that cut out whole seconds or minutes of the agony, making it that much harder to keep with reality.
I tried to separate them.
Non-reality was black, and it didn't hurt so much.
So, with all my perseverance, I got up and began running again. Due to my badly injured knee, my speed was slower. I was sure he was going to catch up with me, but I didn't stop running. I kept running, as it made me feel like I'm going to escape from this madness. I had a fucked up life.
Just as I thought, he caught up with me and grabbed hold of my elbow. I tried to break free from his uncomfortable touch, but he was stronger. Of course, he had his muscles all worked up. And who was the idiot who encouraged him to lift those weights? Me.
"Kat, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it at all. I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing!" He persisted. "You know I love only you. I'll never go to any other girls."
I gave him a baleful glare. "Love, Julian? Love?" I said in disbelief. "What do you know about love? All this while I've given you what you wanted. I was there for you when you're having problems. I'd love you more than anything. I didn't ask for money or clothes or makeup in return. I only want us to be happy. But now what?"
He had a guilty look in his face, as he looked down on me.
"Baby, I love you. It was just a mistake I'll never do again." he tried again. "I'm sorry! Ashleigh was just a friend, Katrina. Nothing more."
I threw my hands in the air in exasperation. "Right. Friend. Do you even realise that I had walked in when you two were having sex? Wow, Julian. That's some pretty serious friendship." I said sarcastically.
"I was drunk, Kat!"
"Didn't I already tell you not to drink anymore? But you're stubborn. You won't listen to me. And now look where we are."
There was a long silence. He wasn't going to answer, so I did.
I picked up my bag from the floor. "I'm getting out of here. Before I leave, I want you to know that you're just a stupid, moronic and pathetic jerk. I was wrong when I loved you with all my heart. Our relationship is over."
I hastily walked out of the park, leaving him alone.
How is it? Too short? :D
