Is love enough?

Chapter one: Is love enough?

Let's start with the backstory. Erin  Cates was 27 years old born in New Castle Pennsylvania. When she turned 18 she uprooted with her longtime boyfriend Nate Coyski.
Then things took a turn for the worse, they became different in the relationship, he became angry and started to act different with almost everything and-everyone and eventually lost his job. Which means Erin was the sole income for their house.
They were young so she figured he would get another Job but that was far from the truth. He begun going to party a lot, drink, smoke weedAnd purposely hurt the girl he wanted to share his life with. It all came tumbling down one night, screaming, yelling, fighting about anything and everything that surfaced.He got in her face spewing venom is in his words and she did nothing but fire back.
"All you fucking do is sleep, eat, party and smoke. God I'm so FUCKING SICK OF IT, Either straiten your shit up or leave."
"This is my house Erin, you won't disrespect me in my house. I USE TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU"
" are you the one paying the bills? Doing the laundry? Cleaning after a 9-4 job? I didn't think so you ducking coward, grow up"
And just like that she fell to the floor was stinging across her face she was shocked. Something he swore to never do was he going to turn into her father? beating her every day making her terrified of him?
He knew from the look in her eyes nothing would be the same again. Erin Grew up in a violent home terrified of her birth father, until she found Nate. Nate saved her from everything.
She stood up from the ground turning around to look out of her kitchen window not saying a word.
"Erin-
He was cut off by her looking at him, tears stinging the back of her eyes but she wouldn't dare let them fall, not now.
She walked back in the long hallway turning into their bedroom. Slamming the door, letting the tears drip down onto a picture she was holding. Is love enough? The words ring in her head for hours it seems like it must of been considering it was dark outside when she sat up from their bed.
Not even realizing she had went to bed, she was wrapped up in his arms like she usually fell sleep but even looking at his face made her sick. Literally she ran in to the connected bathroom and threw up everything. She stood and jumped 10 feet in the air when she turned around to see Nate standing there. You could see sympathy on his face and when tears surfaced to her eyes she walked closer to him and we golfed each other and a hug. She whispered in his ear " right now it's okay, maybe not tomorrow but right now I want us to be okay."
