Janet's pov:

It was Saturday, my new russian mum friend was bringing her boys around to play with Riley. I'm so happy she saved me from Rodger, I don't know what he would have done to me without her. I wonder why she cares so much.

I woke up at 9:48am, unlike me as I Normally drink on a Friday to drown out my horrendous week. I lay in my bed wide awake waiting for Riley to Burst in my room begging to watch frozen, I managed to get 5 whole minutes on my phone before the door flung open. I hear tiny footsteps run up towards my bed, I see her little hat stand Infront of me. She loved this hat so much, it was blue and pink with white stripes. I stared at her waiting for her announcement.

"Mummmmmmmmm Im hungryyyyyy" Riley complained to me.

I grabbed my phone and made my way to the kitchen, we was fully out of frosted flakes. I searched every cubpord, draw and every crevice in the kitchen knowing Riley would complain if I gave her shreddies. I reluctantly grabbed the box of shreddies from the back of the counter, while I was grabbing her bowl she ran in the kitchen asking for frozen and frosted flakes with sugar. I looked down at her smiley face and I told her we only had shreddies.

"But they taste like STICKS" riley complained

Money was tight and I wasn't going to waste perfectly good food, I told her to suck it up and poured her a small bowl of shreddies. I walked over to the fridge to find the milk, it was almost empty. Annoyed I poured the rest into her bowl, I was going to make myself a coffee over drinking wine. She shuffled her feet across the floor looking straight down trying to avoid eye contact. I quickly grabbed the last 2 slices of bread and put it in the toaster while I put on frozen. I heard the toaster pop and my toast was done. By now it was 10am and Katrina still hadn't messaged me, so I decided to ignore it and grab the butter from the fridge. My kitchen was small so was my fridge, it was perfect for me and riley we didn't need much space and hopefully I could move out before she is a teenager into a better home with a husband hopefully.

I sat in the living room eating my toast while frozen played in the background. I heard my phone ping. Katrina had messaged

I put my phone on the sofa and decided to get dressed, I left Riley to watch her movie. I went into my room and found a really pretty black and white jumpsuit, it had ruffled sleeves that went across the shoulder showing my bra strap, it was shorts so I could be cool and it had white flowers. I had enough time to curl my hair to make it look half decent and not look a mess. While I'm sorting myself out I hear Riley in the next room. I went to check on her and she was getting out her Lego's.

"Time to get dressed Riley" I told her

She got annoyed and stopped what she was doing, I handed her some jeans and a blue frozen t-shirt. I left her to change herself, I went back to my room to finish curling my hair. I finished when I heard 3 knocks at my front door, I rushed out of my room to see katrina through the glass window. I quickly grabbed my keys off the kitchen counter to unlock the front door.

"Hello comrade" Katrina said cheerfully

"Come in, Riley is in her room down the hall 2nd door to the left" I told the boys

Katrina came in and looked around, she looked pretty impressed. I went to the fridge and grabbed some wine, I felt Katrina's eyes on me. I ignored this feeling while I poured myself a glass, I then grabbed the vodka and poured her a glass. I turned around and took her to the dining room.

"You have a nice house, it's really empty just moved?" Katrina mentioned

"Yeah...we just divorced you see" I replied quickly trying to not cry

We caught up on basic details and life things like normal friends, I really enjoyed Katrina's company she seemed so caring and understanding.

"Janet? Who was that man" katrina asked in a serious tone

"Rodger, my ex husband..." I replied choking back tears

Katrina just placed her hand on mine, I looked up at her as she smiled. She re-assured me everything is going to be fine.

"If you don't mind me asking what happened" Katrina mentioned to break the silence

Tears started to stream down my face as the flashbacks came back.

Flash back/memory:

"Janet go get me some beer I'm watching the game" Rodger asked in an angry tone

"No, I'm busy! I just finished cooking, cleaning and sorting Riley out get it yourself" I replied annoyed

Next minute a shadow over comes me, I see Rodger standing above me with an angry look on his face. He lifted is fist to punch me, he got me in the chest causing me to lose my breath.

"Janet, don't make me ask again" Rodger yelled in an angry tone

I stayed silent because I just didn't want to, I felt him grab me and throw me towards the wall. I hit my head causing me to get dizzy and fall to the floor while he kicked me multiple times in the back leaving huge bruises. I started to cry in pain while I curled up in a ball.

"That would teach you" he said while walking away from me grabbing a beer

End of flash back:

"Just so many arguments he just wants to see Riley extra that's all sorry" I quickly said through the tears

"Hard marriage?" Katrina said in a confused tone

"Y...Yeah..." I Sutter

I felt bad for lying but I couldn't tell her what he did it was to much, to painful We had been friends for a week and I had so much trust I just couldn't, I'm not sure how she would react...


A/N: I just see Rodger as a bad guy ngl!!!
