Something New

"Your always fucking complaining Jamie"

" Maybe because you always give me something to complain about. "

"Like what Jamie, please explain."
An annoyed tone left his mouth. He acted as if he didn't know what the problem was. The problems that he was always causing. The sloppiness, him being rude, the always being late, and him not giving a shit about how I felt.

"Never mind Isaiah, forget it." I wasn't going to argue tonight after a long day of work, I was too tired, to do anything else but sleep.

"That's what I thought, you always wanna start shit but never wanna finish it Jamie," He laughed, he never took me serious.

"I'm gonna go take a shower, my food should be ready by the time I get out, Jamie" he demanded.

It was official, I hated him. I hated everything about him, 7 years with this man and he made me nothing but miserable. Everyday there was an argument, and everyday he would never forget to make me feel inferior to him.

"Just wait, you're going to push me too hard, and I'm gonna leave your ass one day"

"Wanna repeat what you just said Jamie?" If he even heard me talking about divorce, he would run to my father and tell on me as if I was a child.

Even though that is what my parents still treat me like. Many times before I had threaten to leave Isaiah, and he alway ran and and called  my parents, and they would lecture me non-stop telling that they and God himself would disown me if I ever even thought about divorce , or infidelity.

"I said fix your own food, you dick" I walked past him and ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. Thanking God that and me and Isaiah didn't share a room , I would probably kill myself if I had to spend my nights with him.

I eased out of my white button up and black slacks, and put them in the laundry bin. I climbed into my Queen sized bed, and slid under the silk covers.
I tried to fall asleep but I couldn't because I was still angry. So inside I just closed my eyes and imagined what it would be like if I was married to someone else, someone who I actually loved. 
And I  imagined actually being happy, until I eventually fell asleep.
