For the past year, I've been in an abusive relationship with someone who was supposed to love me. His name is Austin and at first, he was lovable and carrying for me. But later on in the relationship, he started to yell and shout at me. I thought it was normal because relationships usually had those type of arguments, so I didn't pay attention to it. A little bit after he started to yell at me, he then started to grip onto me. A few times after gripping onto me, he started to beat on me. Ever since then, I've been in an abusive relationship and having serious trouble escaping the relationship. No one knows but me and Austin but if he keeps leaving serious bruises on me, everyone else was gonna find out without me even saying anything.

"Baby, wake up. I want some breakfast but I gotta hurry up and get ready for work." Austin whispered into my ear as I was still asleep in the bed we both shared. I slowly opened up my eyes, looking at Austin who was in my face. "Ugh. What time is it?" "It's close to nine thirty. I need to be at work by ten. Can you please get up and cook me something before I go?" Austin pleaded cutely. This is how the beat downs start. Austin asks or tells me something, I disagree with it, Austin gets angry and that's when I get it. It's too early in the morning to be cooking, so I was trying my best to reject cooking for him. BUT it was also too early to be getting beat down by my abusive asshole of a boyfriend. "Yeah sure. I'll cook for you. What do you want?" "A melted cheese and egg sandwich. And I'm sorry for last night, I lost control." Austin slowly traced his fingers over my black eye that he gave me last night, making me flinch a bit because I was still somewhat in pain. "It's okay. Let me go cook your sandwich before you're late." "Thank you baby, you're the best."

Austin smiled brightly and pecked my lips before I walked downstairs to the kitchen. Day in and day out, I was filled with pain because of the abuse and hell Austin put me through. It scared me because one day it might be too late to leave, and I'll be gone. While making Austin's sandwich, I started to tear up because of the possible thoughts I was having that could happen to me. "Baby, hurry up I gotta go!" Austin shouted as he was coming down the stairs. I hurried and put the finished sandwich on a plate, handing it to Austin. "Here you go, all done in time. Have a good day at work." "Thank you Camila. I'll see you later on, we'll go out for dinner, okay? Be ready in time, I'll be home by six." Austin gave me a smile and kissed me deeply before walking out of the front door with his sandwich. Wow, what a douchebag. He didn't even notice that I was crying. I thought to myself. I shook my head in pain as I sat down on the couch, going on my phone. Suddenly I got a call...From Lauren.

Lauren was my best friend AND my biggest lifetime crush. I've had a crush on Lauren ever since we were in kindergarten together, but I just never told her. I usually told her everything that happened in my life, besides the fact that I'm in love with her and that Austin abuses me. I knew that if I told her about Austin, she would literally kill him.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Camila! What's up? Wanna hang out today? I'm free all day."

"Uh, yeah...Of course I can hang out, let me just get ready. I'll call you back when I'm done."

"Great. See you soon, boo."

Lauren then hung up and ran upstairs to hurry up and get ready. As I stripped down to get dressed, I looked into the mirror and realized how many bruises and marks Austin left on me. I then looked up at my eye and realized that I needed makeup to cover that up while I was out in public with Lauren. "Why God, why? Why must you put me through this shit?" I asked out loud as I started to get dressed. I was ready to go with Lauren in about an half of hour. The makeup didn't really help my eye, considering there was some marks that could be seen around my eye. I shook my head and walked outside to Lauren's car, getting inside.

"Hey, Camila! This is literally the first time we hung out in forever, I miss the way we used to hang out. Don't you?" "Yes, I do miss it...Very much actually? How have you been, Lo?" "Great, just busy with a lot of things. How are things with you and Austin doing? Even though I never really liked him." Lauren chuckled, starting to drive away from my house. I flinched at the sound of his name, looking over at Lauren slowly. "We're doing...Well." "Are you sure about that, Missy? That doesn't sound too positive." Lauren giggled, looking at me as she stopped at a stop light. Her facial expression went from happy to shocked once she saw the makeup coming off of my black eye. "Oh my god...Camila, did he do this to you? Did Austin do this to you?" "Ummm..." I gulped in fear of what might happen if I told Laurent he truth. Lauren pulled the car over to a curb, looking at me seriously. "Camila, tell me. Seriously, did Austin do this to you?" "Y-Yeah..." "Oh my fucking God, that son of a bitch! How long has this been going on for?!" "Almost the entry year that we've been dating...I was gonna tell you, but I knew that you would become like this." "Of course I'm gonna get heated like this, you're my best friend and your being abused, I don't like it! Where is he right now?" "W-Work..." "We're going back to your house and packing your things, you're not staying there. When we get to my house, I'm calling the police on that asshole." Lauren quickly turned the car around and drove back to my house. Once we both arrived back at the house, Lauren ran into the house with me and helped me pack up most of my things. I couldn't believe that this was actually happening, I was finally getting away from Austin. As I packed up, tears started falling down my cheeks. Lauren grabbed my face gently and looked into my eyes.

"Camila, what's wrong? Please don't cry. I'm gonna keep you safe for now on. Okay?" "What if he finds me and hurts me even more, Lauren? I'm so scared right now..." "He won't find or hurt you anymore. I'm gonna make sure this asshole gets locked up in a jail far away and for life. You don't deserve this, I don't know why you put up with his shit for so long." Lauren softly kissed my lips as we both leaned into each other. As me and Lauren locked lips, I suddenly felt all the love that Austin never gave me once in the relationship. I suddenly felt safe with Lauren, which I loved the most. "I-I love you Lauren..." "I love you more than the word itself, Camila. I promise you that while you're mine. I will never dare to hurt you like Austin did. Love isn't supposed to hurt."

Once me and Lauren reached her house, we both started carrying my stuff inside. Eventually everything was inside so I could now settle myself in. "No, just sit back and relax, I'll do this for you. Feel free to get anything to eat and drink if you wanna." "Thank you Lauren, this really means the world to me." "Of course, anything for you beautiful. But first, let me call the police on this asshole." Lauren grabbed onto her cell phone, dialling 911 to officially get Austin locked up for life. Both of our dreams finally came true, I go away from Austin AND Lauren is now mine to keep.
