When I woke up I looked at the clock. 8:00am. I stood up and stretched. I walked to the bathroom and washed my face. I took my medication as well.

------story for why she has meds skip is you want---------

When I was 11 years old my dad had a stroke. I was the one who had to call 911. He suffered from left side paralysis. Two week after the stroke my brother had an attempted suicide. He didn't go through it. After that my stomach started to become unbearably painful all the time. I ended up having to become home schooled due to all the school I was missing. I later started having panic attacks and was diagnosed with Anxiety. I was put on one pill for my Anxiety. The stomach pains wouldn't stop so I had to go to a lot of specialists. I ended up being diagnosed is IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and acid reflux. (My stomach acid when I would eat would jump all the way to the top of my throughly making me want to throw up). I was on two pills for each. I also had a lot of allergies so I was on one pill for that. So I had 6 pills in total.

--------end of boring med fest--

I walked into the living room and made some eggs. As they cooled off I went outside and fed Sammy. I stayed outside and played with Sammy for about 20 minutes. I forgot about the eggs. When I went inside I saw Patrick standing in the kitchen tapping his foot.
"WHERE WERE YOU!?!" He yelled
"Um? Out side with Sammy?" I said confused.
"OH YEAH SURE!!! YOU WERE PROBABLY OUT WITH SOME MAN WHORE!!! YOU SLUT!!" He yelled. That pushed me to my limit.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE BEEN IN THE FRONT YARD PLAYING WITH SAMMY. IF YOU WERNT SO LAZY YOU WOULD HAVE WALKED TO THE WINDOW LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SAW ME! IM NOT A SLUT!! IF ANYTHING YOUR THE WHORE!! YOU HAVE CHEATED ON ME THREE TIMES AMD YET FOR SOME REASON I STAYED WITH YOU!! YOU HIT ME YOU CHEAT ON ME YOU ARE VERBALLY ABUSIVE AS WELL!!" I yelled my chest visibly moving up and down sweat running down my chest.
"THATS IT YOU LITTLE!!" Before I could hear the rest of his sentence I felt a punch to my face. I fell back. He jumped on top of me and began beating me. When he finished my nose was bleeding and my eye was most certainly going to be black in a few hours. He stood up and looked at me.
"I'm done with you." He said he went to our room to get his things. I couldn't take it any more. I grabbed Sammy and walked her back to our room. He looked at me at first mad. Then he saw Sammy. She was growling and bearing her teeth. His eyes went from dark blue and filled with anger to almost completely black and filled with fear.
"Don...don't do what I think your about to." He said putting his hands out. I had Sammy on a leash and in good grip. She attempted to lung at him while barking but instead when she jumped she just stayed one her back paws and had her front paws in the air. (Pic above) He flinched.
"Amanda please baby calm down." He said getting closer. I couldn't take it. I let her go. She jumped on him. She bit his arm and then his neck. I pulled her off of him. I wanted him to have enough strength to leave. He jumped up and ran out leaving his stuff behind. Sammy looked at me and sniffed me up and down. I looked in the mirror.

Swollen shut eye
Cheeks and forehead filled with bruises and cuts

I grabbed my phone and took pictures of everything. My face and the house. I grabbed Sammy and put her in the car. I brought Patrick's clothes with me just so he couldn't get them back. I drove the 20 minutes drive to the police station. I pulled up but couldn't bring myself to go inside. I sat there for 10 minutes. I left. I drove to the doctors office. I was known there and was allowed to bring Sammy inside. All the doctors loved her. I walked the desk.
"Hey Amanda. I'll get Dr.John with you ASAP." The desk lady said as she ran back the get him. He came out and gasped at the sight of me. He walked me back fixed me up and sent me one my way. When I got home I looked around fell to my knees and just cried.

         He was gone. Actually gone.
