I'm going to be honest with you all.
My whole life I've felt like I've never been able to please anyone.
Everything I did was "not enough" You know?
Something was always missing.
And that feeling was horrible because it didn't just come from one pe...
I am waiting for the train as the fresh air chaps my lips with the chill of the night, I keep on walking.
I had to leave him, I have to go anywhere.
I bit down on my newly swollen lip. My lips are swollen and my heart is broken.
I live in Detroit and it's not the safest thing to do but it's that or get killed.
My plan is to run I can't deal with Paul anymore. I come home and he always thinks I am cheating so he beats me until he gets the truth; the truth is I am loyal.
I have had a few broken ribs multiple concussions, and a broken nose.
My parents thought he was the best for me. But they didn't see the monster inside of him.
I gave everything to him my love, life and virtue.
He was my first everything.
But then he started to call me 'Nora the hora', he is always drunk.
He knows people and he always apologizes but after today I can't except. His dad is a police chief and his mom is a well known lawyer so they would never believe me but I have proof now.
I took pictures and videos of the abuse and threatened to expose him. But he beat me. I told him if he didn't let me go, he would be fully exposed.
Tears and mascara spread across my face as I throw up my hair.
It hurts to breathe.
Just then I get on the train there is only one other person on the train other than me and he is super hot.
I sit across from him now wiping my face with the sleeve of my coat.
He sets his phone and stared at me with his ocean blue eyes.
I look away towards my feet.
"So did you get into a fight?" He asks throwing me off task.
"Umm... Yeah sorta", I say looking back at his eyes dancing with wonder.
"So.. it wasn't a mugging, because I see you still have your purse."
I bite my lip and say,
"It was my ex."
He looks at me worried and says,
"Stupid 24th letter is the alphabet always double crossing beautiful women."
I smile and then realize he just called me beautiful and my face just turns the color of the seat I'm in.
"Ahhh, see I knew I could get that pretty little face of yours to light up with a smile." He says as he winks at me, causing my face to turn another shade of red.
"So why are you here?" I ask.
"You wouldn't want to know", he says laughing under his breath.
"Try me", I say nudging the answer out of him.
"Okey, I got drunk and woke up in somebody else's bed," he says shyly.
"Did you at least know her name?" I ask a little afraid of the answer.
"No, but normally I don't do things like that." He says reassuring me of my fears.
I shiver as I notice he is in a tee shirt and jeans you can see his perfectly sculpted muscles through his all black outfit.
"Aren't you cold?" I say in nearly a whisper.
"No, are you?" He asks and I nod my head like a bobble head.
"What's your name?" I ask
"Ryan" he says as I grab a pen and sticky note to write my number.
"Nora," he says looking down at the paper "I'll make sure to give you a call."
He leaves and just as the train starts to move I notice the paper with my name on it still the seat.
I get off at the next stop so I can find my new apartment.
It cost almost all my savings almost, but it's worth it.
I walk up to the building and almost cry when I see my apartment.
There is security at every entrance and it's already been refurnished.
I run to my king sized bed realizing I now feel safe.
And I never thought I would ever be truly 'good enough' for anything, but I am.
