/Zianna/
I arrived at my house around 8:00 pm. I was a couple hours late, and I forgot to tell James I was gonna come home later than usual.
I intentionally didn't mean to stay out for as long as I did, but Pete talked me into watching two movies and making brownies.
"Babe?" I called out while walking into the chilly, dark house.
No answer.
I knew he was here because his car was in the driveway- so why wasn't he answering me?
I made my way to the kitchen, turned on the light, and sat my briefcase down.
I was a little hungry but forgot I left my snacks over Colson's house.
"Should I make a sandwich or something?" I asked myself aloud
I heard a chuckle and quickly turned around to see James a couple feet behind me, staring into my soul.
"Funny that you talk about sandwiches, especially- when I told you to order me lunch from that sandwich place"
"Babe I forgot" I admitted with a frightened tone
"I see, not only did you neglect to get my lunch but you also didn't call me and you came home late"
He starting walking towards me, I stood there frozen.
Once he was right in front of me, he leaned down and whispered in my ear; "I swear if I ever find out you're seeing another man, it's gonna be hell to pay"
Usually I would nod and apologize, but there was a rush of confidence and anger that hit me at the same time
"How dare you tell me not to cheat when you've been admittedly cheating on me? Huh? If you do it imma do it" I said in a calm tone of voice
"So you were with another man?"
"No, not yet at least" I told the half truth, I was technically with other men but I didn't cheat.
"Then where were you?" He asked
"The same place you were when you came home late yesterday night."
He stared at me with either hatred or mere surprise- couldn't tell.
"I see you grew a pair" He said lowly after a while
My husband grabbed my collar and pulled me into him, I gasped a little (as it caught me off guard).
"Don't you ever speak to me like that again, you know better"
He let me go with a slight push. Tears started to stream from my eyes
"SCREW YOU JAMES! I WILL NOT LET YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY ANYMORE!"
I stomped towards our bedroom with James at my tail
"Where are you doing?" He asked
I pulled my suitcase and carry on bag from the closet and hurriedly began packing up my things.
"You don't appreciate me, you take me for granted, and you're a dirty cheater. Let's see how long you can survive without me" I spat coldly
He tried prying the clothes I had grabbed from my draw out of my hands, but I managed to snatch them back and put them in the bag.
"YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" He screamed
He pushed my suitcase off the bed, sending my clothes flying. Luckily I didn't have that much in there yet
I went to grab it and he pushed me down on the floor
"JUST LET ME LEAVE! YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYWAYS" I screamed after hitting the ground
My words were barley understandable, I was crying too much
"SHUT UP WITH ALL THAT CRYING. YOU ARE NOT LEAVING ME" He yelled back
I quickly grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket and called Colson
"Who are you calling?" He asked, backing down a bit
Colson picked up on the second ring
"Hello?" He asked
"Can you please come help me? He won't let me leave" I sobbed into the phone
James tried taking my phone while yelling cuss words
He grabbed both my wrists
"LET ME GO!" I yelled
I kicked him in the stomach, forcing him to let me go. I scrambled to get up and walk out the room.
I put my ear back to the phone
"Colson? Colson can you hear me?" I whispered, not wanting James to know who I was talking to
"I'm on my way now, I'll be there in 10 minutes- wanna wait for me in your car?"
"Don't come here, I don't want him to follow us" I said, "Yeah I'll wait for you in my car but I'm gonna drive to a store or something"
"Hide his keys or something so he can't follow you." Colson said
I walked over to the key hook and took James' keys, hiding them in the couch cushions
"ZIANNA" James yelled from the bedroom
"Meet me at the grocery store by my house" I said
"Okay- but if you're not there in 15 minutes, I'm coming down there. And don't hang up" Colson said back
I hesitantly walked into my bedroom and seen James crying in the floor
"Baby please don't leave me" He pleaded
I took this opportunity to grab my suitcase and finish packing up. I even walked past him to grab items such as my toothbrush and things of that from the bathroom.
"BABY PLEASE" He screamed
I ignored him.
I grabbed my suitcase, small carry on bag, purse, briefcase, and keys and jogged out the front door
"NO!" James yelled
I was already at the trunk of my car when he got to the door
I threw my bags in, closed the trunk, threw my purse in the passenger seat and started up my car
James ran to the car, beating on the windows but I began backing up.
He ran back in the house, probably trying to grab the car keys to his car (that I hid).
I sped off before he came back out
"Colson?" I asked once I realized he was still in the phone
"I'm still here, and I'm at the store." He said
I smiled through my tears, happy that I finally left.
