Chapter 48

• My Fault
• Mandy’s POV
• I’m completely hidden beneath the comforter on the bed. The bedroom door slamming makes me jump so hard it hurts my back. Matteo jerks the covers off of me and grabs a fist full of my hair picking me up by the roots. As soon as I am in a somewhat straight up position is when I feel the full force of his punch. I hear a cracking and blaring pain coming from my nose. A warm liquid is flowing into my mouth. When I taste metallic, I instantly realize it’s blood. I cry out raising my hands going to protect my face, but I’m to late. The next blow lands to my right eye. Matteo has hit me plenty of times but never closed fist like he is doing now.
