FAR-OFF

Chapter 1 Ready-Set-&-GO

"Amiria hurry your ass up" (Car honking loudly & repeatedly)
My phone continues to vibrate all while gathering the rest of my belongings. "This is what I get for packing last minute" I mumbled while pacing back in forth. My mind was cluttered & I still couldn't find my wallet. Before I could think any further there was a knock on my door it was Elina. "Girl don't tell me you still in here packing"she said while taking a seat on the couch. "I'm looking for my wallet calm down lil hot pocket I said while looking through a different purse". "We need to be on the road in an hour & the guys say they have to make a few more trips before heading out" Eliana said. Well they can wait a few I need to find my wallet or I won't be able to go. Go back to the car & tell them to give me about ten to fifteen minutes I said frustrated.

After about eight minutes I found my wallet inside of my suite case. I really didn't want to go on this trip but my best friend Eliana assisted & the way my life has been going I could use a vacation. About two weeks ago my now ex boyfriend tried to kill me & our Son Malique but stopped after my mom knocked on my front door to bring over some things for Jr. Malique act as if nothing happened & threaten to kill my mom if I called the police. I was nevertheless fearful because in his teenage years he was convicted for murdering his girlfriend & did two years of jail later charges were dropped due to no evidence. They listed her death as undetermined then later ruled it as suicide. Three years ago I didn't think he could hurt a soul he was so gentle with me, nurturing and caring. About a year in a half ago I found out about his criminal past all while discovering he was living a double life. I decided to stay because I was a couple weeks pregnant & he promise that he was going to leave the other woman to make things right. Long story short after I found out about his criminal past I ended up finding out about many affairs. I was fed up after a while and tried leaving him after having Jr but he always found me beat me and even threaten to burn my mom house down & threaten to harm anyone close to me. It was not long after that he figured he had some sort of control over me so he took full advantage of me. He would treat me any kind of way, bring females to our apartment while at work & if I speak on it he would beat on me. Physically & mentally I was tired defeated & lost all interest in Malique. One time he had sex with a female in front of me to get a reaction & for once I felt nothing. At this time I had already left the relationship physically & started secretly talking to Curt a childhood friend of mines. Long story short one day I was in the shower & Malique went through my phone and seen that me and Curt has been talking and hanging out and he confronted me about it. I told him that we were just friends he dropped jr on the ground without a care and began questioning paternity immediately thinking that Jr is not his. He then kicked jr and proceeding beating me with object around the room. He chocked me with his bare hands and then set a 5 pound weight on my neck as he pressed down with force every 10 to 15 seconds. My vision was getting blurry but I remember seeing a gas can and hearing a knock before passing out. The knock at the door was my mom. After seeing me in that condition my mom took me to the hospital I pressed charges and requested a restraining order just in case the charges didn't stick. Since that day know one seen him and police has been looking for him. My mom has taken my son for a few months back to Alabama to stay with some relatives until everything cool off. I told my mom I would stay in Florida due to work and finances. My mom was fearful of my safety and pleaded that I come up to Alabama for a few months or at least until they find Malique. I assured her that I would think about it to give her a peace of mind. Beep Beep (loud Car Horn) I quickly snapped out of my thoughts got my things and headed to the Black van pulled in my driveway.

Once I've got in the car I was greeted by everyone. We stopped by the Store to get some things to cook to have for the Cabin along with snacks, liquor and wrap. After we started our trip to Virginia.
