Romi was spending the night at my place. I told her I was paranoid af that her ex was gonna follow her home. She called me dramatic and insisted she had everything under control. I know she's a grown ass woman and she can do whatever she wants but I couldn't stay quiet about this.
Anyway, when she left the family center she began to feel like something was off.. so she pulled over and called me back. I told her to go to the house. Lock the doors and not open them for anyone. She'll be safe there with Vaeda.
This was before I made the decision to bring the kids home with me. Which resulted in a very full house.
I'm pretty sure he followed her there but nothing ended up happening. Either way you can never be too careful.
I know Romi could defend herself if she needed to.. I've seen this girl deadlift 3x my weight 🥴 but she has a weak spot when it comes to her ex.. she has history with this man. He uses that against her. And I know she's trying to break from that but it's not fucken easy. I don't give her shit about it cus i know mental abuse can be really hard to overcome..
She went through alot with him. She doesn't like to talk about it anymore but I can see those wounds are deep.
I need to get that girl into therapy.
Anyway, Romi was staying in the guest room downstairs.
She watched as the boys hauled their bags upstairs to Matthew's room.
"Who's kids are those?" She asked.
"It's a long story. Theyre just spending the night."
"Omg!" Her jaw dropped the minute she noticed the mark on my face.
I forgot about that. Ugh
"Please tell me that mark on your face isn't what I think it is.." She turned my head to the side to get a better look at it.
"Did he do that?" She whispered to me.
I hooked my arm with hers and pulled her into the sunroom to talk about it. I didnt want anyone to hear us.
"It doesn't hurt.. it looks worse than it actually is but that's cus I bruise very easily. I barely felt it." I looked at myself in the mirror hanging by the double doors.
It got darker. Fuck.
"Izzy.. omg. Let me see." She was inspecting me all over but that was it. Thats the only mark I have.
"What the fuck did he do?"
It's really not that serious. Atleast I'm not taking it serious. He thought he did something by coming over here and saying all that shit me.. all it did was piss me off.
I told her everything that happened with him. She should know.
She was so upset.
She hugged me and started apologizing.. like why the fuck is she apologizing for him???
"I mightve provoked him alittle." Or alot.
"It doesn't matter! He shouldnt have done it. Did anyone see him do that.. what about your cameras? We can show the police what he did. This might be enough to send him back to jail."
"My cameras weren't on." I checked.
The ring camera was blocked.. you couldn't see what happened and idk what happened with the audio. You couldn't hear anything either. My wifi was probably down. I don't know how to work that stuff. & I'm too embarrassed to call gigi and ask her about it. She's been setting up all the cameras around the house for me.. I'll just figure it out later.
"You're not gonna report it are you?" Eventually..
"Not yet. Its my word against his.. I'll just get mad if they tell me they can't do shit."
