Chapter 1

What has happened to me has changed the kind person I was forever.

I never planned on speaking with a police men while I laid before him in a white gown.

"Can you tell me about this ex boyfriend of yours" Officer Blake asked. Blake looked like he was in his late 50's. Blake had a big belly with a hairy grey moustache that made it impossible to see his top lip. He joined his hands together as he listened.

I told him that Eduardo was the man of many girl's dream. He always treated me with respect. It was I who pushed this good man away.

The officer wrote as I spoke. He looked up from his notepad and continued his questions.

"How was your relationship with your parents and your siblings?" the officer asked as he took a sip of his unsweetened coffee.

"My father always kept to himself." I took a deep breathe and began .
"He would hardly spend any time with me. He would showed alcohol more attention then he has ever shown me in my entire life. Oh and my mother? She passed away when I was 3. I feel like this is the reason why my father began drinking. He didn't know how to deal with his emotions". I paused and choose my next words carefully.

"I am not making excuses for my father's behavior. There were many other ways to deal with things like this but drinking isn't one of them. My father would hardly speak about my mother. But I knew how my mother looked because of the pictures around the house."

Blake shook his head informing me that he got all that information. He handled me tissue to wipe my eyes.

He asked about my father's relationships after my mother's death.

"7 years after my mother passed, my father remarried. I had a step sister named Rebecca. She was only a year younger than me. She was very smart and books became her only escape. But she always made time for me and even gave me relationship advice. I loved having her around. I never felt like this with anyone. But our relationship soon ended when Rebecca's mom, Amy, divorced my father. This broke me heart. Amy was the only mother figure I had. Seeing her leave made me think of my biological mother. Even though Amy told me I was welcomed to come over anytime, it didn't feel right anymore. So I stopped going over her house. This soon led to me and Rebecca losing connection forever."

But it was Blake's next question that stapped me in the heart.

"What happened to you Ramona? Why do you have a busted lip and a blackened eye ?"

He questions caught me off guard. I wanted to forget about what happened even though I knew that was impossible. I stared at the ceiling for what might have seemed like forever. I then opened my mouth to relive the moment no woman wanted to relive again.

My screams filled the room.

"Stop please!" I begged him as he forcfully took me from behind.

"Your my little slut", he muttered at my ear. He continued this all while punching me and biting me. I thought I was really going to die that night.

When I heard him groaned, letting me know he was finished. I was in lefted in shock. At that moment, those sound was music to my ears. He removed himself from me and quickly got dressed avoiding eye contact. He grabbed his car key and headed for the bedroom door. He stopped to say something but the words never made it out his mouth. He left the bedroom without giving it a second thoughts. My body jerked when I heard the front door slam shut.

I just laid there.

The ticking of the clock was the only sound heard. I had a difficult  time understanding what just happened. My mind wasn't functioning properly. It almost felt as if the world suddenly stopped moving.

I was so embarrassed. Most importantly I felt like an object who was misused and abused.

But who was to blame ?

Tiny bumps quickly covered my skin causing me to shiver. The ripped dress was hardly covering my body. The cool air attacked the exposed skin.

I can't believe this man would do this to me. I trusted this man with my life. My tears threatened my eyes as I stood up with the support of the dresser.

I closed my teary eyes as I felt something quickly  traveling down my leg.

I shook my head hoping it wasn't what I thought it would be.

When I placed a hand in between my legs, it was stained with a rich color. The warm liquid made it's way to my feet and left a red stain on the carpet floor. Almost as if it's was claiming the area beneath my feet.

Tears escaped my eyes as I crossed the massive bedroom. Million of questions entered my mind. I struggled to stay steady so I leaned against the dresser and took the phone off the hook.

My finger trembled as I pushed the number know to man kind.

9-1-1.

"9-1-1 what's  your -" her voice faded as my eyes rolled to the back of my head and my mind was now filled with darkness.
