Cecelia's pov
— Winter of 2000 —
On December 15th, I tried to run away from my own wedding, but they brought me back. I didn't try to run away because I was in love with someone else, but because he was an abusive asshole. He got me pregnant when I was 15 with my oldest daughter, Katrielle. Later on, during our relationship, he became an alcoholic and started making threats towards me and my child. I wanted to stay with her, but I just couldn't, so I tried to run away, but then they brought me back. Little did I know that would be the worst turning point of my life. Things started to get worse, and I finally found the courage to leave him, so I did, but after we got divorced, we went to court.
Cecelia: He is going to KILL someone! He hit me and my CHILD, pulled a gun out on my sister's boyfriend and beat up BOTH OF MY UNCLES!
Judge: Yes, I understand, but since you don't have any evidence, we can't do anything about it.
As you can imagine, I was pissed. I went home that night thinking about all the things he could do. I was terrified, but I knew I couldn't let fear take over.
