Your cheek was burning. You never expected your girlfriend to slap you for saying one word too much.

You guys had a heated argument about Ellie coming home drunk last night. Lately it's been happening more often than usually. You almost couldn't recognize the person you fell in love with anymore.

When she slapped you, you run into the bathroom, scared and confused. Tears dropping down your face, you sat there, on the floor, hugging your knees.

Finally after what felt like half an hour, Ellie found you on the floor. Her whole demandor was suddenly different.

"Baby... I'm so sorry, I was acting like a jerk." She approached you slowly and carefully. "Let me see that..." She lifted your chin to see the damage she made.

It wasn't the first time she acted so hot and cold. She was manipulative and somehow, after fucking up big-time, she was able to make you forgive her. It was a neverending cycle.
