NUBIA.

I tried to move quietly but quick at the same time.I had to get away from him,i couldn't live this way any longer. I've tried my very best to make it work,I'd even blamed myself for all the problems with this relationship but it's not me.It's HIM. And like my mother once said.

"If you can't change the solution to the equation the the answer is to subtract yourself"

That's what I'm doing,subtracting myself from the equation.

I stuffed all my clothes and belongings into the suitcase i hidden early in the bock of my closet from sight.I stopped when my hand brushed up against something that didn't resemble the fabric of clothing.It was a little brown box,to be so small it had hit me like a sack of bricks as i opened it.

Inside the box was a blank T-shirt with holes and had been faded,under it was a pair of old dingy jeans and last was a pair of Nikes with the sole sticking out. The sight brought tears to my eyes. I quickly place the lid back on and shoved the box away from me.I shut the lid to my suitcase and slowly zipped it up careful not to make too much noise.

I grabbed the handle of my bad and proceeded out of my closet in a quiet manor.I paused and look over at the bed once i hit the bedroom.Their lied the man i had fallen in love with but was not right for.shaking my head i continued toward the door.as i reached for the knob i was yanked back.

"You didn't think i would let you leave me that easily did you Cherry?"

I gulped as the fear began to take over my mind as he whispered in my ear.

"I can't do this anymore,I can't be with you any longer".I spoke in my horse voice as the tears started up.

i was swung around and pushed up against the front door with so much force that it knocked the air out of my lungs leaving me breathless.

"So you just want to leave me?after all the shit we've been through,all the love i've made to you in our home?NOBODY LOVES YOU THE WAY I DO AND NO ONE EVER WILL!. He shouted in my face.Before i could even respond a fist was connecting to my temple and i was on the floor.Before i blacked out my last though was.

'How did i get myself into this'
