Estella

Chapter 14

I'm not going to let him say no this time.

I am done with him.

We are over.

And I feel like it would be weird if we go into this whole court situation while dating?

Like, imagine suing your boyfriend? Especially for what I am?

Like, I think that would be weird.

And I just hate him.

He's awful.

So I think it's about time I'm the one that doesn't take no for an answer.

I am ready to have him out of my life for good, forever.

I think I deserve to have a life without him too.

I deserve to be happy again.

I deserve to have my life back.

Next time he drags me somewhere, I'm going to let him know that that is never happening again.

"Hey." Parker says to me as he sits next to me.

"Hi." I reply with a smile.

"How is everything?" He asks me.

"Fine, getting better." I tell him, truthfully.

I actually think I'm making progress.

I'm going to win this.

I'm going to get my way.

"That's good, I'm glad things are looking up." He tells me.

"And you were right, talking to my parents helped so much." I tell him.

I don't know what I would do without my parents supporting me.

"That's good." He tells me, giving me a quick smile before the teacher starts class.

"Estella. Listen to me." Jacob says, hitting me.

"No, you listen to me." I say, not letting him get his way.

"Excuse me?" He asks, in a rather threatening tone.

"I said, listen to me. I don't care how much power you think you have, I don't care what you want. I want you out of my life. That means, we are over, forever, I don't want you in my life, I don't want you in my child's life. So just leave me alone, forever. I'm done." I tell him.

He better just give it up and let me go.

"You aren't breaking up with me." He states.

"I am, and this time, it's real. We are over, stay out of my life. Leave me alone, move on, I don't care, just keep me out of your life." I tell him, leaving.

"Fine. See you in court." He says as I exit his house.

I did it.

I broke up with him.

We are done.

I officially don't have a boyfriend anymore.

I take a deep breath as I walk back to school, needing to get my car.

I did it.

I'm free.

I'm free to do my own thing now.

And after court, when I get a restraining order, I won't have to worry about him anymore.

I'm finally getting my life back.
