The First Punch

Mike and I are in the bedroom, and for what seems like the fourth time this week we are fighting. I stood in front of him as he sat on our bed. He was slouching and seemed to not care about our conversation. He looks wasted.
"Stop fucking lying to me! I know you've been drinking!" I screamed at him with tears in my eyes.
"I'm not lying, I've been sober for two weeks!" He slurred, the smell of whiskey strong on his breath.
"That's bull, okay why are you slurring and why do you smell like whiskey?!"
"Alex. Babe. I can explain." He urged getting up from the bed and coming towards me.
"No, you can't! Why do I even trust you?"
He came towards me and before I could blink his palm made contact with my face. Old memories started coming back to me from when my dad would hit me. I couldn't take it, I started to sob. He came close to me, tears in his eyes.
"Oh my god. Babe I'm so sorry. I love you, I didn't mean to hurt you!" He wrapped his arms around me.
I broke out of his arms and ran out of the room. I had to talk to someone. So I pulled out my phone and went to Lian's contact. I really had to talk to her because she knows what I have been through. I pushed call and waited... and waited and waited... why isn't she picking up. Her and Jaime must be busy, this is just great. So I had to call the person who could always help me in times of trouble. I scrolled through the contacts to find the one and only, Tony Perry. I pressed call and waited, then there was a voice on the other end.
"Hello?"
"Hey," I try not to let my voice shake, but he knows me too well.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" There's concern in his voice.
"No, I'm fine. It's just... Mike."
His tone get serious, "What did he do?"
I pause for a moment not knowing what to say
"Dammit, Axl Tell me!"
"He... It's just... He hit me.. bu-" he cut me off
"What the fuck Axl! When did he do it? I'm gonna fucking kill him!"
I start to cry, harder than before, Tony's voice gets lighter and he soothes me.
"I'm sorry Axl. Do you want me to come and get you? Everything will be okay. I promise."
"No--It--It's fine. I'm okay."
"Are you sure Axl? Cause I care about you!"
"I'm fine. I'm actually really tired. I should go to sleep. Goodnight Turtle."
"Just remember I'm always here for you, just call if anything happens. Goodnight Axl."
I hang up as I walk into the bedroom. Only to find Mike passed out with a bottle of whiskey in his hand... why must he lie?
