SHATTERED

HYPOCRITE

First time writing Hope you guys Will Like it.... Tried thé intimacy Ain't that much but..... More in store...

I ran not looking back,my feet hurt, my throat dry,sweat dripping down my face and back. I was sure he wasn't behind me but why did I still feel insecure?I decided to sit down and rest and when I did,the events of the previous years played in mind like a movie series. How did it go wrong so fast?why me? Why now? I laid my back on a log not caring whether it ruined my plain T-shirt .I remember when Caleb used to be sweet and romantic come to think of it.....was it the reason I quickly got attracted to him or was his masculine body, his chin, high cheekbones and a bewitching smile that could make one melt inside?I remember how we met at the party all eyes on him, I mean who wouldn't be attracted to such a man and damn was he hot....We later met at a coffee shop after exchanging our numbers at the party .I was a bit tipsy and he drove me home that previous night .Surprisingly I found him not only handsome but sweet .Before I knew it we were going out on date nights and picnics .He wouldn't attend a party without me and I without him what can I say we were both crazy about each other but we both knew the main reason I tagged along was to keep off the silly ladies throwing themselves at my man and man was I good at the job. Whenever we walked into a room I could feel the eyes,the jealousy,the desire to have a relationship like mine .I remember once I got an invite to a party with a P.S not to leave Caleb behind I found myself laughing at how silly it looked now. My once sweet Caleb.

I was not surprised when he asked me to marry him after dating for two and a half years .My mother was stunned she was sure the relationship wouldn't last....well surprises are meant to happen once in a while I said to myself .So we got married in a church in Pennsylvania since Caleb's dad couldn't walk and it was hectic driving him round and a bout. The wedding was attended by a lot of friends and colleagues mostly ladies maybe with the hope that Caleb will turn me down at the altar but I think it was all in my head. After our honey moon we moved to a small town peaceful and with great friendly people. Caleb opened a mechanic shop I opened a book store and also taught at the local kindergarten I was great with children .So the first few weeks were great,I mean great love,great romance,everything was just perfect. One day when I was off from school I decided to pass by Caleb's work shop I found him flirting with his colleague's sister. He was shocked to see me but he didn't seem regretful .I kept him company till he closed the shop and we quietly drove home without anyone saying a word to each other .I could take quick glances at him to see if he felt sorry for what he did but he was emotionless. When we reached home I decided to ask him about it am known to speak my mind out but he quickly threw me off with a shrug and went to be bed even without taking supper. Since I lost my appetite I decided to take cereals and milk and followed him to bed .Few weeks passed and we were back to our old selves just a bit distant .So I decided to surprise him when I was off from work and I found him spanking his colleague,a lady he had employed few weeks ago. This time I knew I wasn't going to let it die off and so at night I asked him,in my entire life no one had prepared me for this,he held me by my neck and warned me not to meddle in his business its as if touching someone's ass is a business .I heard some leaves ruffle just behind me my heart froze in my mouth I quickly jotted from my wild fantasies back to reality .I looked back slowly only to see a bunny enter a bunny hole .I was relieved and my thoughts went back to the events.

That was the Start of my abusive marriage .Caleb turned out to be a violent husband but I was not willing to let my marriage crumble like that. One thing my mother taught me,is marriage arguments are always solved when the woman keeps quiet and it seemed to work. One day Caleb came home drunk and when I tried to hold him when he was staggering he threw me off,I hit the wall and felt dizzy for sometime. I could feel a sharp pain in my forehead but I took some painkillers and the pain died down. I changed to my pajamas and went to look at my bruise at the mirror it was red and swollen.

Next morning I woke up feeling dizzy and throwing up,I went to the bathroom almost six times and each time I came out,I could feel Caleb throwing quick glances at me but he didn't say a word. Since it was a Saturday I didn't have to go school and Caleb stayed home on certain Saturdays I went back to bed. I decided I will pass by the local pharmacy where Juliet worked,she was a good friend of mine who lived a few houses from ours. She laughed when I told her I thought I had contacted malaria, she instead offered me a pregnancy kit. When i reached home I tested it turned out I was pregnant I had mixed feelings I didn't know how Caleb would react but I decided I would test it one more time just to be sure .So next day after Church was the perfect time to repeat the test again since Caleb didn't go to church and didn't come home till 5pm. So I got tested again this time by Juliet,when she handed me the results a mischievous grin spread across her wide face. "Told you you were pregnant,"she said "Its two months old."

I drove myself home,prepared Caleb's favourite meal and brought out the special wine we drunk only on special occasions .Ransacked my closet for that lingerie I bought during my honey moon and lit the candles. Caleb didn't arrive until 6pm.He found the test results on the kitchen table I was peeping through the stairs dressed in his shirt. I Saw a contented smile on his face and I waited till he was full when walked into the kitchen .He placed a quick kiss on my cheek when I turned around he played with my ear lobes before kissing me passionately like he hadn't for years the kiss was just different,slow but in a loving way. This turned me on a different level he placed me on the counter and kissed me hungrily .I found myself on the bed with the lingerie and we made love like we haven't for a long time. The next few weeks were great Caleb didn't come home drunk and he also came home early. But my happiness was lived for a short time he changed again he came home one night and almost beat me to death I thought I was going to have a miscarriage but I didn't. This happened rarely, until I hit my second trimester and it became worse .I even thought he didn't want the baby such that he looked for an excuse to batter me up.

Which is how I ended up here....in the woods. Caleb had tried to hit me because I burned dinner but it was just a bit burned,when I tried moving away from him my hand got burnt with the hot pan. It hurt so bad but when I Saw him pick a knife I knew he would kill me .I ran out through the kitchen door .I could hear him call out my name as he ran after me .I never knew a pregnant woman could ran that fast now am in the middle of the woods with a burnt hand and a cut foot. I found myself dozing off and I placed my head on the log and drifted off to sleep.
