I rolled over after hearing my doorbell ring, who the hell is at my door at 5:59 AM?! "Ugh." I groaned getting up and stretching. Whoever is out there better have a good excuse for waking me up 2 hours before I have to get up. Once I reached the door I wasn't even feeling up to opening this stupid door.
"Who the hell is it?!" I yelled.
"Ella!" The voice yelled back. I went and opened the door quickly to see my best friend standing there with a suitcase and I hugged her tightly.
"What are you doing here?" I questioned as she walked in with her bag.
"I had to get away." She said with a crack in her voice and she turned around, and I can't believe I didn't notice it before.
"Ella why do you have a black eye? And why is your lip swollen?" I said walking to her and holding her hand and she slightly winced and I noticed her wrist was a dark purple ish color also. She didn't look me in my eye, she was hurt, and I could tell she was embarrassed.
"August." She said
"What." I said in disbelief.
"He did this too me...I'm sorry I never spoke up Rea. We were at the mall and I was looking for something nice to wear to my aunts birthday dinner tomorrow night. He said I wasn't allowed to buy it, but I really really loved what I had picked out so I bought it anyway, he held my wrist all the way to the car. And once we got home he just wouldn't stop beating me. Punch after punch I just went numb. And I realized that he would eventually kill me. So I booked the only flight available on such short notice, which was a day later and when he went to sleep I took a lyft to the airport, boarded on at 11pm and now I'm here." She said in tears.
I just looked at her trying to find the word to say. But all I could do was cry trying to figure everything out.

"Ella...I'm so sorry." Was all I managed to get out.
"I had to get far away...It's been going on for 7 months, I just feel like it's my fault." She said looking down.
