Having Hope

Okay Guys here is my first story... It is quite short 500 words as I've entered this into a competition!

It's called.............
Having Hope
 
 
My name is Lisa, I have long brown hair, deep brown eyes, a cheerful smile and rosy red cheeks. I am 18. My day started off normally: Woke up, brushed my hair and teeth, got changed and had breakfast. I had arranged to meet up with my boyfriend that day, Lewis is his name. He had short blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. He is 19.  He had a lovely personality or so I thought…
We met up in the local park but the sky turned grey and it began to rain, so we ran back to Lewis’. When I was at his house no one was there, he said his parents were on holiday in Canada and he took me up to his bedroom. He showed me his endless trophy cabinet; it seemed as if it went on forever! Then he turned to face me, he put his hands upon my hips and my hands somehow ended up around his neck and we kissed, it felt so right and so magical. But it wouldn’t last…
A few days had passed and on the Wednesday morning Lewis turned up at my door, I invited him in and he followed me to my room. He closed the door behind him, I didn’t know what to expect. Then he pushed me, pushed me hard into my wall. It hurt, it hurt a lot and my back ached and I felt like nothing. Then he picked me up off the floor and pushed me again and again and again. I was upset, annoyed and most certainly confused. Then he hit me right in the face, the pain was unbearable, I couldn’t understand why this was happening… I thought he loved me? Why was he hurting me? He pushed me up against the wall and I tried to push him away but I felt so weak and I felt as if I could never move again… It was if I was paralyzed. Only Lewis controlled my moves… I tried to shout for help but no one heard. I tried to turn myself around so that I could thrust my fists against the wall, but I felt as if there was no point and I was helpless…
Lewis eventually left and immediately crawled over my bedroom fall to my phone and called my mum, she could tell something was wrong simply through my voice. It was soft and weak. She said she would try and come but she never came, I waited hours yet no one. I was sat in my room still motionless and in complete silence. But then I heard the front door click and footsteps heading up the stairs, I closed my eyes, but then I opened them to see a man. I didn’t know who he was but he voice was soft and caring and he was dressed in a white robe and then through the crack between my curtains shined through sunlight… And the man said, “Don’t lose hope… Lisa.”
