I'm laying on the cold stone floor while I feel tears coming down my cheeks. This is the second time today he's hit me the first was because I didn't say sir before addressing him. It has been like this since the day I said "I do" at the alter this was two years ago. I thought he was the love of my life in college, but that change drastically when he showed his true colors.

I flinched when I felt a hand on me "Lux sweetie it's just me he left don't worry come on let's get you cleaned" I breathed out. It was just Lucinda the housekeeper she was always so sweet to me. I let her help me and clean off the blood "Honey you need to get out of here I can't see you like this anymore" I slowly nodded because it hurt to much to talk.

She left for what felt like and eternity and came back with a backpack full of my money that I had her keep for emergency. Lucinda looked at my swollen eye and busted lip "Honey you need to leave go somewhere far away from here" I didn't want to leave her, but I knew I had too.

I left everything I had at that god forsaken house the only thing I took was my necklace that mother gave me before she passed away. I ran, ran as far as my legs could take me I bought a plane ticket in cash of course couldn't have someone trace it back to me. I thought of where to go that would be far away from him, but there was nowhere he would always be close by. Then I thought Alaska couldn't hurt right its far as hell from Miami so Alaska it is.

I fell asleep on the plane I was so exhausted from everything I still can't believing I just left my husband. I made sure before I left the house to cover all the bruises and cuts I didn't want  people to know. Throughout the whole plane ride my only thoughts were I'm finally free. Free to do what I want, but did I want to do I haven't lifted a finger in two years. He kept me from doing what I wanted to do kept me from making my own choices, but not anymore I broke away from him for good.

Once the plane landed I was out my seat ready to start my life anew.
