Betrayed

~3~

Before I knew it I was packing my things for the weekend at my brothers and I was so excited. The key word in that sentence is 'was' I was very excited. I 'was' going to spend the weekend with my nieces and finally get to see my brother. But that isn't how Matt had pictured it.

"Hey did you pack my things too?" He asked stepping in the bedroom and sitting down on the edge of the bed.

"No, why would I pack yours. You're not going anywhere are you?"

"I'm going to your brothers with you, don't ya know." He said starting to raise his voice just slightly. 

"I never said you were going with me!" I said "You know this is supposed to be time for me and my family not you!." I continue to yell. "And it's not like you even like my family, you just want to go because you're scared!"

"Oh yeah, what do I have to be scared of because trust me im not scared of you!" Matt yells back as he stands up from the bed and walks closer to me, standing over me. 

"You don't have to be scared of me but you are. You are scared that I am going to go to Ty's house and leave you here to rot in this Hell hole you call a house. You're scared everyone's gonna find out I can't have kids and YOU'RE the reason why!" I yell and as I finish my sentence I stand up almost to quickly and shove Matt backwards. "You're not going to keep treating me like you own me!" 

"I will do whatever I want to do and just because you think you're free, think again. The second you said yes and let me put that ring on your tiny little finger you became mine. You will be my property and nobody is going to change tha---." 

Suddenly the room fell silent. I was on the floor. I could see the blood on my face. The world was spinning. I was dizzy. It's getting hard to breath. My eyes start to fall shut, I can't keep them open but I know I have to, because when my eyes are closed all I can think about is that night.

It was about a year ago. Almost exactly one year. It was my birthday. Matt told me we we're going somewhere special and I should dress nice. It was around 6 PM when he got home from work and picked me up but I never thought my birthday would turn out like that. We went out to dinner, just like any other couple but Matt had to much to drink that night. The roads were slick because of the ice. We were just having a good time, Matt had just turned 21 a week month before this so he was still new to drinking. But he had one to many. The car slid off the road and hit a pole. I was impaled in the stomach which caused damage to my ovaries, meaning, I could no longer have kids like I wanted. I always told people it was natural and i was just Infertile. That wasn't the case however. 

The feeling I felt that night is just like the feeling I am feeling right now. My world is upside down and it's hard to figure out whats reality and whats not. Then as my eves open i'm laying in my bed. Pajamas on, no blood, nothing.

"Hey Saf, it's time to get up, you're brothers here." Matt says

"What?" I  asked. 

"You fell down the stairs and you blacked out, but your brother's here to pick you up so you can spend the weekend at his house, remember?"

"Yea, I guess I do."
