You beat, cheated, & raped me...but never loved me.

Chapter 7

Present time: Police Station

"So that's what happened officer.  That's my sad, depressing story."

The officer barely blinked.  He just stared.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

He finally moved.  At least I didn't know he was pretrified.

"Oh yeah.  I'm fine.  I'm sorry to hear that an individual went through all of that."

"Yeah." I said.

"Well I need to ask you.  Do you want to press charges on Derek?"

I sat there clueless.  I didn't know what to do.  I sat in my seat thinking.  What would be the best thing to do?  I looked at the officer and he was staring at me.

"Can I have some time to think about it?" I asked.

"Sure.  Whenever you are ready." He said.

He got up slowly with a file and was heading to put it away.  Before he was fully out of site he turned around to me.

"OH by the way.  You have a visitor.  Some kid who wanted to save you. We had to lock him in a cell to keep him out of our way." 

I laughed.  I already knew who it was.  I got up and walked over to the cells.  A guard opened it up and let Brandon out.  He saw me and his whole expression on his face lit up. He ran up to me and embraced me in the warmest hug ever. 

"OH god I was so worried about you.  Look at your head." he said.

"I'm fine Brandon.  Really." I said.

"Where is he?" he asked.

"I dont know.  I guess locked up somewhere.  Hell he could be in the hospital." I said kind of happily to myself.

"Do you want to go home?" he asked me.

"Yeah.  Just a sec.  I want...I want to see him.  Once more."

"Are you sure that's a good idea Tiana?"

"Yes.  He can't hurt me no more Brandon."

Brandon nodded his head and we went up to the officer.

"Can I see him, before I leave?"

The police officer nodded his head and told us to follow him.  He took us down a long hallway where there were alot of doors.  He opened one of them up and we walked in.  There he was, sitting at this table, was Derek.  I went to open the door and Brandon was right behind me.

"I want to do this on my own." I told him.

He understood and waited for me.  I walked in and Derek looked up at me.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"I wanted to talk to you one last time.  You know before you want to hurt me anymore."

He rolled his eyes but I ignored him.

"I wanted to tell you something.  And then I'm going to leave, and never see you again.  Is that okay with you?" I said.

He seemed to ignore me and I continued on talking.

"Over the past few months, you made my life hell.  I would never hurt you.  Never!" I yelled at him."I loved you Derek.  I really did.  But you know what?  After a while, I couldn't take it anymore." 

He looked at me and seemed to not really care what I had to say.  He turned his head away from me.  I got up and walked around the table.  I grabbed his face and held it to mine.
