"He Hit Me (very short story)"

**There's a story behind this story, which I'll share in a day or so, might make a bit more sense then**

I don’t know what hurt me more, the fact that he hit me, or that it caused Jess to fall from my hold onto the floor. I watched in horror as she fell, her squeal resonating through me. I was so relieved when she landed safety. I could believe that way she seemed to flip round at the last moment, I was so sure that she was going to land on her head and be killed for sure.

The second I knew that she wasn’t hurt I turned by attention back to him. How could he do this to me? For so long I had offered him shelter and protection. None of the others that have been and gone had ever done anything like that to me. Yes, there have been many over the years. Some flashy and good looking, some battered and blue, some young ones and some ready for the scrap heap. Some came close to hitting me before, I have to admit, there have been times when I’ve seen them coming at me, only to stop at the last minute, but not this time, a hefty blow, shaking me to my roots.

Of course, he’ll say it was an accident, that he didn’t mean to hit me, that he couldn’t help it, and maybe he’ll be telling the truth, but I can’t live like that. I’m not as young as I used to be, and I’m not about to accept this kind of treatment now. Perhaps this will be the end of the road for him. Maybe he’ll move on after this. They never ask me to come with them, but I wouldn’t go if they did. I’m not the kind to just uproot and go traipsing across the country.

It’s not like he cares about Jess either. I’m sure that I’ve seen him try to hit her too. Thankfully she’s quick on her feet, and manages to avoid him when he’s in a hurry, that’s when he’s at his worst.

Hopefully this won’t affect the way Jess treats me. I couldn’t bare it if she no longer wants to be with me. I find such comfort when she is curled asleep on me. I love the way she softly purrs as she relaxes in my branches. If only that damn car hadn’t have hit me…

Aren't you a little bored with winning yet?

(Oi, Meka, pass it here like, on the sly. Double Dash!! needs a good home)

Capiche?

Posts are winning again? Ha, fantastic.

Congrats Meka, you never bloody win, do you? ;)

This won GAD...

*Shocked*

Was a bit short mate, I guessed it was a car halfway through too, the double meaning was quite good though, but it could be extended and a bit more built up.

Hey Meka, do you have an email addy. I want to talk to you about your writing. Cheers.

GAD?

*shakes fist*

I'll have to write something myself. I've been lax recently.

This was a pretty compelling read, and by far the most original thing I have read in quite some time! The ending was great, now I know why you win so often! :-D
