You killed him, you killed him.... Her head was spinning. She felt sick. She felt like she would throw up. Should she keep the messages or should she delete them? He doesn't know anything about what happened. What he did to her? How he deserved what she did to him? After all those horrible years with beatings, rape and alcoholism. All those broken ribs and bruises she had to cover up with bad excuses and make-up. Excuses like: I ran into a pole, I fell down the stairs or got hurt by working out too hard. All of her family and friends were questioning her excuses, but didn't say anything because they wanted her to be happy. She seemed happy with him. It seemed like there was nothing wrong. They had some small fights around others, but it was usually her getting yelled at. She got yelled at by him for wearing what he called it, slutty clothes. He called wearing a skinny jeans and an normal t-shirt for slutty clothes. You killed him. It's not way he knows what Sophie went through with him, what she had to deal with. All of the names he called her. What happened that night was not her fault. He did it to himself.

Two years ago

They were on their way to her mother's birthday party. Her mother turned 36 two days before, but no one had time to celebrate it before. Her whole family was going and Sophie wanted to look her best. She dressed up in her best black cocktail dress. Very casual, but formal and appropriate. With the dress she is wearing some black pumps that fit her dress perfectly. She thought she was looking good and feel confident in her own body. She was just putting on last details on before they leave, when he saw what she was wearing. "What are you wearing?" he growled at her. "I'm wearing my dress. I thought you liked this dress," she answered, very scared of what he might do this time. "I like it, when we are alone. Not when we are going to meet other people, other guys! They can see everything, they can see all of you! They are going to think you are a slut! A whore! One that sleeps with every guy she sees! Change immediately!" His face was turning red because he was so mad at her. Only since she was wearing a simple dress to her mother's birthday. "What should I change into? This is the only thing I have that is appropriate," Sophie answered and looked down, because she was too scared to look him in the eye. She knew what would happen if she did that when he was mad. "Change," he growled before he punched the wall and left to go downstairs. It was a small mark in the wall after his fist hit the wall. It wasn't the first mark though. It was all over the wall. Some from him and some of the smallest one were from her. She only punched the wall when she was crying after he left to go to a bar or something like that. It usually happened when she did something like this, not obeying to what he wanted her to do. He would punch the wall and go to a bar to get drunk and have sex with another girl. Then come home and apologize for what he did. She would always forgive him because she loved him too much to let him go. No matter how many he slept with she would always take him back. No one in the family knew about what he did nor did they know anything about the alcohol problem he had. She didn't want them to know though, because they would make her break up with him and move on. She couldn't live without him, or so she thought. This time when he told her what to do, it was the last time he did that. She was done with him bossing her around, telling her how to dress and who to talk to. She was done. She had to  break up with him even though she loves him. She can't live the rest of her life scared of her own boyfriend. What if they got children? How would that go? What if he though she cheated on him and got pregnant with him instead? It wouldn't end well for her either way. She had to leave, and that today. She would leave after the party. She could handle pretending to be happy with him for one last time and never look back at it later. She would be gone forever.
