Sometimes I wish I was able to live in total ignorance, naive people are always so happy, is the reality ends up breaking their daydreaming hearts.
Sighing I sat down on the bed of my room, looking down at my toes I let myself be completely captivated by my thoughts.
It's been a while since I've last spoken to my mother that meant that Andrew would have forced him to do it in his presence. My mother was like the one I was envious of, she was happy for me but lived in an abysmal ignorance when we talk about how my life was really like.
"Can I enter? " I heard a woman voice questioning from the other side of the house.
I adjusted myself as Monique entered my room without waiting for a verbal response from me.
"Is there something that you need?" I asked forcing a smile on my face, she looked at me with a gentle expression and nodded.
"You see Elide, I know what is happing, I know what Andrew did and I can assure you is a changed man, He won't hurt you again but you need to stop whatever you are planning"
"Is this a threat?"
"take it just as a bit of friendly advice!" She said patting me on the back, I stood up breaking the contact, this woman was sick just like her stupid son.
"I won't listen to you, you see Monique you are the worst type of human being, you protect horrible people and still act like you are worthy of respect and love, you know what your Andrew did? Everything?"
"Do you know about the first time he laid his hands on me? the first time he slapped me was over jealousy, he thought I was checking out a man and we went back home we started fighting, he instantly apologized and promised me he wouldn't do it again, for months he tried to get back my trust and I finally forgave him, after two months he came back home drunk apparently he had a bad day, I asked him what happened and why he was so drunk and he was so furious that I questioned him that he didn't only slap me, he threw me on the bed and..." I stopped myself unable to keep going, I will never forget that night.
"I begged him to stop but he didn't he kept repeating that that was how I deserved to be treated and that I was a stupid slut"
Memories began to float in my mind, I would have smiled if they were happy but they weren't, I felt like crying remembering all the pain and how stupid I was to always forgave him.
"The next day he woke up with a headache he didn't remember anything, bruises were on my body I told him what he did and he again apologized almost crying saying that if he wasn't drunk that would never have happened and that I would be controlling his drinking from that moment "
"Well he's was drunk he didn't mean to do that to you" I was shocked, after what I told her she still dared to defend her son.
"He wasn't drunk when he did it again and again and again! why are you still defending him? what's your problem, for two years TWO he caused me pain, he forced himself on me, he was violent on me and you are still defending him!" Rage filled every part of my body I felt like I was going to explode.
