Escape ( BWAM )

Troubling Circumstances

As he kissed my neck, I felt the sudden urge to push him off me. ( btw that's Marques Houston as Daniel )

In that next moment, he was falling back crashing on top of the coffee table. And me turning to see what happened because the noise startled me.

" What did you do that for ?! You bitch!!! " Daniel spoke with anger and disbelief for what just had happened as he laid there, sprawled out on the floor with the coffee table glass shattered around him.

" I don't know..... " I cried as I back away with something screaming in my head telling me to leave. So l turned on my heel and made a dash for the door grabbing my purse in the process.

.....................

Now outside, I sped walked to my car as I heard Daniel yelling for me to come back. But I just kept it moving towards my car without looking back.

Sitting in the car with my head on the steering wheel, taking shallow breathes. My emotions were all over the place. Am I losing my mind ? Because I've never been an violent person.

Trying to keep it together, I almost jumped out of my skin. When I heard the first knock on the car window.

It was followed by a series of curse words.

" Get out of the car ! Right now ! I'm not gonna tell you again Shay ! " Daniel yelled at me as he tried to open the car door. If looks could kill, l would be dead right now. And I am not stupid, I'm not getting out this car.

So l told him, " No ! " as my hands shook as I started the car up. Pulling out the driveway, he stood there stunned but came running after the car as I drove off. Last thing l heard was him screaming out " SHIT!!! "

....................

Now I'm here in the parking lot of Carrie's apartment complex. I just sat here in my car and cried trying to figure out what am I going to do next. And really this should be a time one would seek out family but sadly I knew they would side with him. Because he could do no wrong in their eyes.

Shaking and scared out of my mind. What happened ? I asked myself.

Mustering up my strength, I pushed the car door open. Then made my way to Carrie's apartment building all the while catching stares. I know I looked a mess right now but I could care less.

Opening the door to the front entrance, I head to the elevator. Thank god for this because my legs right now couldn't take me up all those stairs.

I always asked Carrie why she chose the top floor. And her answer was it had a better view. I'm like yeah right, What view the expressway ? It made me laugh a little thinking of this.

Stepping inside the elevator when it opened I spoke aloud, " I really need to get it together, I don't have time to think of the past. It's more pressing matters right now, " leaning against the elevator wall then it dings, I wait for it to open and step out into the hallway.

Walking to her door, I start to feel a little light headed. So when reaching it, I rung the door bell and stepped back to lean against the wall until she answered.

" Hello, " I waved leaning on the door frame.

" Girl ! What happened ?! " she exclaimed looking me over and guiding me inside to the sofa.

" A lot but right now I am tired and wanna rest, " I say letting my head fall on the arm rest, slowly closing my eyes.

" I should get you to the hospital ! " she screamed waking me a little for me to say.

" No ! No hospitals, I don't want my family to find out about this or where I am for the matter, " I pleaded with my best friend.

" But.... " she stuttered.

" Can't you do this for me, Carrie please, " I told her with all my feelings behind it so she could understand.

" Okay, well let's bandaged you up but one other thing. How did you get cuts on your legs ?" She asked out of concern looking down at them.

As she walked out the room, I used the last of my strength to call out to her, " Carrie ! And one more thing, Please don't contact or answer any calls from my husband because I'm not ready to face him yet ! "

" Alright, " she said and proceeded to find the first aid kit. Moments later, she was back cleaning my wounds. Bandaging them as I fell into a deep sleep.

Last thing I remember saying was, " Thanks friend," before closing my eyes.
