"After today Ima stop and get help. The last thing I'd want is for you to leave me because the shit that I do to you."

Today was the day and after what felt like years of planning we finally were about to go through with our plan. Last night we went out to this hot club and a man came up to me asking for my number and I blushed yet denied and as soon as we came through our front door Jodi beat my ass which made this plan even more worth it. I won't lie at first I wanted to say forget it because I loved him too much to betray him but then I realized he obviously didn't love me the same if not at all if he found it necessary to give me a new bruise ever week or even day. I stood in the mirror and looked at myself intensely. Before I never noticed but today I realized what Sammie had been talking about. I was a different women than I was years ago and it made me want to cry but I had to be strong today.

I went into the room and saw Jodi grabbing his keys about to do his big drop.

"You heading out?" I said biting my lip with my head down.

I felt him him walking towards me and he lifted my head up and pecked my lips.

"I love you." I nodded and he frowned.

"So we get in one argument and you don't love me no more?"

"I love you." he nodded and kissed my lips again.

"After today Ima stop and get help. The last thing I'd want is for you to leave me because the shit that I do to you." I nodded and he did the same before placing both hands on my face and kissing my forehead before walking out.

I waited until he was fully gone to go to my phone and call Ciara. It rung once before She answered.

"Hey girl the police station just called me they're on their way there they're lurking around the warehouse is your stuff packed?" She asked hurriedly.

"Yes I'm coming to pick you up after I take all my luggage to the car."

"Okay I love you be safe."

"Love you too." And with that we hung up.

I wouldn't lie and say I wasn't scared because I was scared out of my mind. If Jodi found out I was the one doing this to him no doubt in jail or not he'd kill me. But right now it was me before him. To be honest it should've always been this way but everything happens for a reason.

I took 3 trips to my car taking every single one of my bags and I took a deep breath as I walked back upstairs to get my keys.

I took one last look at the house I once called home. The beautiful house held so much pain and misery and it excited me to be getting away. If you looked hard enough you could see the cracks on the wall from when Jodi would throw me into them or even the blood on the floors from my bleeding nose or lips that wouldn't come off no matter how hard you scrubbed. For 3 years I've been trying to get away and I finally was going to.

Once I got my keys I grabbed my purse and quickly ran downstairs and to my car. I drove quickly to Ciara's house. No music playing on the radio or anything because I was on a mission. I got to her house and frowned once I seen Terrance's car. Quickly I grabbed the gun Jodi kept in my car from the glove compartment and tucked it in my pants. I didn't know how to use a gun but I sure as hell was gonna use it if I had to.

I quietly grabbed the spare key from in their plant and quietly opened the door and tip toed upstairs. I immediately heard screaming and frowned.

"So you think you was just gonna leave-" he was cut off by a phone ringing and I stayed by the doorway so my presence wouldn't be know. I took the gun out and prepared to shoot.
