"Cause I'm not fine at all"

(this could possibly be triggering to people who have been victims of domestic abuse so this is just a warning)
I remembered that night when I'd finally had enough.
I climbed up the tree by her window, the window we always used to sneak out of when we were kids.
I knocked on it, being careful not to fall.
As I clung to the branches, I heard shuffling and heavy breathing from her room.
I knocked repeatedly on the window, and I could feel myself slipping.
"Bea...please..." I whispered, doubting she'd even hear me.
A few seconds later, her curtains opened to a sight I wasn't prepared for.
She had a split lip and a black eye, tears down her face.
I motioned for her to open the window, and I climbed in.
The minute I set foot on her bedroom floor I pulled her in to a huge hug.
"Honey, did James do this to you?" I whispered into her hair.
I felt her nod slowly and another sob came from her.
When I felt her tears wetting the material of my shirt, and I knew I had to do something.
Anything to get her out of there.
I sat her on the bed and pulled out her suitcase from underneath, packing every single item of clothing, makeup, and any other important things I could see.
I handed her the suitcase, and helped her climb out of the window.
Just as I was about to climb out also, I heard a door slam from downstairs.
James was back.
I quickly got out and scrambled down the tree.
When I got to the bottom, I took her hand and quietly snuck out of the garden, careful not to make any loud noises.
I got her in to my car, and drove her to my house.
She was going to live with me now, safely away from James and where I could now protect her.
