a new start

chapter 2

Jazzmine

I woke up to an empty bed. I heard the shower on and figured he was in there. Marcus left his phone on the dresser and it kept going off. I picked it up and saw a girl named "Mia" texting him.

Mia👅: can't wait to see you again baby
Mia👅: sent a picture

My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach. How could he cheat? I felt tears start to build up in my eyes. He stepped out of the shower and walked to the room. "So you're cheating on me now?" I ask holding back the tears.

He looked at me and walked over to the bed. "Why the hell are you going through my phone?!" He yelled at me. "So you can just fool around with anyone you want?!" I yelled back. He got on top of me and punched me in the face hard. I put my hand over my face and tried not to cry.

He put on his clothes and looked at me laying helpless on the bed. "I'm leaving right now" he said "why so you can go see that hoe?!" I said standing up behind him. He pushed me down to the floor. "Shut up!" He yelled as he walked out.

I sat against the wall and cried. "Why me?" I silently whispered to myself. My phone started to ring so I got up and answered it.

"Hello" I said still crying. "Girl what's wrong?" Lexi asks. "I found out he was cheating on me. And he hit me hard" I said back sniffling. "You need to leave him girl. Grab a small bag get some of your clothes and stuff and I'll pick you up" she insisted. "Mm ok" I said back "I'll be there in 10" lexi said hanging up.

I got up and grabbed a small bag. I packed some clothes, my make up, some shoes my toothbrush and some of my jewelry. I walked over to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. "Omg" I said as I touched the big bruise on my face. I hissed. "Ow!" He hit me hard.I heard a knock at the door so I ran downstairs and opened the door. "Hey Lexi" I said smiling. She looked at my face and lightly touched the bruise. I turned my head away. "Are you ready?" She asked. "Yeah let's go" I said grabbing my bag. We walked to her car and got in. She drove to her place and we chilled for the rest of the day. I can't stop thinking about what Marcus was doing with that girl. I shook my head and layed down.
