Chapter 2
Trigger warning *Domestic Violence*
I just stared at my husband in complete shock.
"Well?"
"ummmm..I just was taking the trash out I panicked. I heard the truck coming and just hopped out of the bed."
"Bed? What were you doing in bed so late?" His face started to turn red with anger and i knew I was never gonna hear the end of it.
James liked to be the victim, he portrayed me as a horrible person a lazy person an ugly woman. Which I did not understand because I did everything he asked and everything that he wanted. I was a dutiful wife and a doting mother but none of that ever mattered to him.
*slap*
I blinked my eyes a couple times realizing what had just happened. Tears started to flow steadily from my eyes
"wh-"
" Shut your mouth Lorna! I am honestly tired of hearing you talk. Were you trying to whore yourself out to the trashmen? To the neighborhood? If I dont want to touch you know one else will either." He looked at me with complete disgust.
I wish a black hole would appear under me and just swallow me whole. I swallowed hard trying to hold back the rest of the tears ready to flow out of my eyes in streams.
James noticed me trying to hold back my tears and he laughed. Laughed right in my face! Anger was starting to bubble up inside of me but i held my tongue.
James looked me straight in the eyes and grabbed me by the back of my hair making sure to pull as hard as he could.
I could feel my hair coming out at the root. He threw me to the ground and kicked and punched. I shut my eyes hard as the blows kept coming and coming. I tried to think of a happy place but for the life of me I could not think of one. I wasnt happy and i had no safe or happy place.
I was alone and that was that.

Ryan The minute i saw that beauty run out of her home in nothing but a tank top and a pair of underwear. I could not get her out of my head. I was driving the truck while my two best friends actually got to talk to her. I was trying not to be jealous because there moment was so brief but they got to hear her voice and look her in the eyes. I could tell by the way she acted and the way she looked although she was beautiful it looked as if she could shine so much more than she was. Something or somebody was making her sad. Since i have always been protective of my friends its always been the four of us I have never wanted to protect someone as much as i did that women. I had seen her husband before pulling the trash out and he looked like a scrawny douche. I hope i saw more of the woman and less of the douche because something in me wanted to make me want to fight him. I wouldnt say im intuitive but I got a bad feeling about that house and that fami

The week went by slowly and so did the healing of my bruises. I waited and waited for my kids and husband to get home or to even get a phone call and i got nothing. Friday came and there was no sign of my family coming home. I heard the trash truck coming down the street this time i was fully clothed and more I had a long sleeve shirt on and a pair of black leggings on. My hair was down to cover as much as my face as i could. I walked out slowly to the trash can and pulled it to the curb waiting for the trash men to come. Thankfully there were two different men on the back of the truck both equally as handsome as the two that came last week. I gave a small smile avoiding eye contact as much as possible. "hi, i had a quick question to ask if you guys have the time?" I said as meekly as possible. "I can answer any questions you have miss" A goregous pair of green eyes met mine as they sparkled in the beautiful sunlight. He was a tall m

Ryan This scrawny ass dude has some nerve to talk to his wife and to me like that. This poor fragile woman was out here asking a question in order to take care of her home and this man was screaming about how she was whoring herself out. I know my boys stopped the truck which we werent supposed to really do but we didnt care. Violence against women is for pussies and we did not respect pussies. "Excuse me?" The pussy douche sneered. "I pay your salary I pay for your service and i am telling you to get away from my property, my wife included." The way he described his wife as property and not as something to be treasured really got my temper rolling, if I was not careful I would end up in jail. I could feel Derek coming closer to me he was the one who could keep me calm under even the worstn of any circumstances. I clenched my jaw and my fist and looked at this beautiful woman and I could see her visbly shaking pain and

Derek I didnt know her, but she was beautiful and when Ryan and I had talked to her I could sense something good about her. I had seen her before on the route getting her kids to school. When she was with her kids she seemed to be smiling from ear to ear all the time. To see her so upset and shaking behind her angry horrible husband made me sick to my stomach. My mothers boyfriend was similar and because of him I had lost my mother. I was 13 years old my mom had picked me up from school she had the same smile she always had. It was bright and amazing it could light up a room. The corners of her eyes would crinkle just a little,her brown eyes similar to mine but her eyes had a special twinkle to them. She always said that she gained that twinkle the day I was born. My mother was the sweetest woman and fell under the spell of lies and decit by her boyfriend. He won her over with corny pick up lines cheap cologne and some fancy dinners. Once he won my

I looked in the mirror and hated the unfamiliar face that looked back at me, I had become a shell of a person I used to be.My green eyes now lined red,my once long sleek brown hair was now matted and looked dull. I had noticbly lost weight in my face where my eyes look somewhat sunken in as well as my cheeks my cheek bones a lot more pointe and pronounced then they were before.I thought I would be fine with James leaving me for another woman but I really wasn't. I had thought that I had stayed for just my children. In reality I felt like my heart was ripped out. No matter how unhappy I was in my marriage I had never stepped out on James and never thought to either. Maybe I loved him more than I thought, maybe I thought my family was only whole if we were all together.I walked out of the bathroom into the now bare closet I grabbed a red sweater and a pair of black leggings. I pulled my hair into a tight ponytail threw on a pair of sneak

I lived in a small town in North Carolina named Crestview it wasnt to small that every single person knew each other but it was small in a sense that there was only one big shopping center in the middle of the town. There was a bunch of little boutique type stores through out the shopping center among big chain stores like target and tj maxx there also were a couple of small business offices as well. I usually only came out here to go to target since I was on a strict allowance from James. I was given $100 for grocceries every two weeks and $25 a month for myself.A surge of anger rushed through me again, how have I been so stupid, I let a man control me to the point where I had a $25 allowance.

The bubbly clerk smiled up at me."Alright Mrs Frances, how would you like the money?""Whatever you have is fine!" I smiled back at her and she started pulling out stacks of cash in several denominations putting them in a bin."Mrs Frances this may take a moment, so if youll have a seat in the office back there we can do this in a more private setting. The bank was empty but I could understand how unsafe it could be if people saw me or the clerk with that amount of money."Of course."I walked over to the office and sat down in one of the comfy chairs. Next I have to figure out what to do.I would need a job, my own home, my car was a gift from my parents so that will be mine.
