The officer looked at me reassuringly before saying, “look you can tell us anything, were here to help”
and with that, she placed her hand on my shoulder, a caring smile plastered on her face. “I - I’m fine”, I stuttered. I was shocked at my own response and confused. Why am I still standing here defending the one person in the world who is constantly tearing me apart? In front of the police I put on the best show, as if I were an actress standing on a stage acting the most horrific scene. In reality I was living that horrific scene. I wanted to hold this together; I wanted him by my side no matter what the consequences were. I felt as if he were everything important to me, I loved him that much! Many thoughts ran through my mind. But I was suddenly subsided from my train of thoughts, as the officer looked at me questioningly, “Terry is everything ok??”! “T-t-There is nothing wrong, just a simple argument between us “I lied. The officer looked at me once again, as If she was reading my mind a knowing look on her face, “If you keep, denying the truth, no one can save you.”and with that, my savior left, and took my only hope with her. I was once again lost in thought…. Left to ponder about my next move…
As the officers left, James came trudging in the room, his face was pale as the moon, and the whites of his eyes had disappeared, being replaced by his dark brown eyes, that send shivers down my spine. He cautiously approached me, as if he couldn’t believe the sacrifice I has just committed after the pain he put me through. He slowly lifted his right hand and caressed my cheek. He looked me in the eyes, “terry, please forgive, me I will never hurt you again.” I held a smirk on my face, as tears threatened to spill. That quote has been embedded within my head for so long, that I have become used to it. But those were the words that always kept me in this dull place; those were the words that made me happy and sad at the same time. I stay awake at night and wonder how someone can love yet hurt at the same time.
