"Bye Ms. Johnson" Zuri one of my students says walking out with her dad

"Bye sweetie, I'll see you tomorrow" I wave. She was the last student to leave so now I can lock up and head home.

I've been a 2nd grade teacher for about a year now since I graduated Georgia State University and I love it.

It's something about teaching these little children, the next generation that's soothes me.

Once I have everything I need I leave out of my classroom then the school. Being as tho today's Friday I'll most likely be spending my weekend grading papers or dealing with whatever stunt Marshawn's planned. Preferably the first one

Marshawn & I have been in a relationship for 3 years. He used to be the sweetest man in the world to me but that all randomly changed one day. A few weeks after we moved in together he turned into this completely different person and I hate it.

I pull up to the house and sigh seeing his car outside. I turn off the car, grab my things, & take a deep breath before getting out of the car.

When I'm inside I put everything on the table so I can change into something more comfortable

"Wassup baby" Marshawn says as I walk in the room

"Hey" I say

"You looking good" he compliments

"Thanks Marshawn" I say

"What's with the hostility? A nigga just tryna make ya ass smile" he mugs me, I give him a smile hoping he'll leave me alone

"Man nevermind, fuck is you tripping for?" He asks

"I'm not, I'm just tired" I say honestly

"Well come lay with a nigga" he says

"Not right now, I got work to do" I say, heading to the bathroom.

I change into something more comfortable and leave out

"Brielle get your ass over here man" Marshawn says before I could leave the room

"Brielle get your ass over here man" Marshawn says before I could leave the room

"Marshawn please" I say not feeling like dealing with this right now

He sucks his teeth and before I knew it I was being forcefully pushed onto the bed.

"I said lay with a nigga" he gets on the bed beside me wrapping his arms tightly around my waist

Not being able to move I simply just lay here hoping he'll fall asleep.

I sigh after laying here for a whole hour

"Marshawn I have to go grade some papers" I say

"You got till Sunday Bri you good" he says

"I don't want to lay down right now" I say really hoping he'll let me go

"Brielle you just said you was tired now you don't want to lay down. I'm tryna be more affectionate with ya ass cuz when I'm 'mean' all you do is cry but fuck it" he pushes me off of him getting out of the bed

I sit still waiting to see what was next because knowing him something was.

He goes to grab my school bag and comes back throwing it at me hitting me in my head

"Here since that's all you fucking worried about. Grade ya damn papers" he says

I pick the bag up about to walk to the dining room table but he grabs me

"You can work in here" I nod going back to the bed and take out the pen & papers I need, I'll grab my laptop later once all the papers are graded

I sit trying to focus on the task at hand but the fear of what Marshawn could do at any moment keeps me anxious

Soon he leaves out of the room and I let out a breath

My relief doesn't last long when he comes back in with a bottle of Hennessey in his hand & a rolled blunt in his mouth.

I decide to put my work up knowing that once his buzz kicks in he was going to be a complete mess.

"Oh you done now?" He asks shaking his head, I don't answer and grab my phone instead

"You don't hear me talking to you?" He asks

"I do Marshawn, I just don't feel like arguing" I say

"You don't feel like a lot of shit when it come to me lately. What you don't love me no more?" He asks

"I do love you Marshawn" I say lowly before I could react he charged at me wrapping his hand tightly around my neck

"SPEAK THE FUCK UP! You don't love me no more?" He asks again tightening his grip

"I do" I say barely being able to speak

"Good then act like it" he stands there mugging me still holding me by the neck

"I can't breath Marshawn" I say tears falling as I feel the air leaving my lungs. He lets me go throwing me to the ground

"Get yourself together so I can get some pussy" he says starting to undo his belt. I sit awhile catching my breath trying to prepare myself for what was about to happen

{The next day}

BriBell, I really wish I could hang with you today but I'm in Delaware with Michael B. Jordan and I won't be home for another week Jazmin says

Aw that's ok you're getting to the bag I joke

Yeah, but as soon as I get off the plane I'll be right to your place to spend the week with you she says

Alright I'll hold you to it I say

I gotta go babygirl. You sure you're ok? She asks again for like the millionth time since I picked up the phone

Yeah Jaz I'm fine I lie

Ok well I'll text you later to make sure you're not working she says, I laugh a little, she thinks all I do is work

I won't be mom I say

Love you girly she says

I love you too I say before hanging up

"Who was that?" Marshawn asks walking in from his shower

"Jazmin" I say, he nods sitting beside me

"Look I'm sorry about yesterday aight. I was pissed & I took it out on you, that wasn't cool" I nod used to this apology

"You forgive me" he pouts, I nod again

"I need to hear you say it Bri"

"I forgive you" I lie, he wraps his arms around me and I flinch

"Calm down girl I ain't gon do nun" he chuckles

He lets go of me going to get dressed

I wait while he dresses to see what he was getting ready for.

"My boy Ant called me and we finna go play pool" he says answering the question in my head

"Ok" I say

"Sit here till I get back and if you invite anybody don't let it be that ghetto ass girl Lori you be hanging with" I nod understanding

He leaves out and I grab my school bag to finish grading. I lied to Jazmin but I know I'll be done before she calls again and I don't have anything else to do.
