Escape POV:Bella
“Of course I cheated on you again. You can’t figure out how to fold laundry and not even think about cooking an actual meal for me!” Micheal screams at me yet again. I am only 23 years old while working two jobs and going to college. This man has been with me for 6 years and it just gets worse. I don’t understand why he thinks I can do all of this while trying to remain alive. I need to sleep and breath at some point. I have just about had it. This would be probably the tenth time he has cheated on me, we haven’t even had s*x in two years… “I’m sorry, I’ll try harder.” Came out of my mouth like a whisper of a scared child. The sound made flash back of my childhood creep into my head, I pushed them down as far as I could. That’s when he grabs me by my hair and pushes my into the wall. He held me there by my throat “I am sick of hearing excuses Bella. I am over it.” That’s when darkness came into view. I passed out.
I wake up on the floor, the sky is dark, I look at the clock and realize I have been out for five hours. My dog sky is laying next to me, looking at me with those pitiful brown eyes. Being a pit bull she always has the cutest face, it brings me into a soft smile. This is it, I am leaving. “I’m going to have to leave for a little bit baby girl, but I will be back for you.” Almost as she understands she licks my face and heads upstairs. I check the yard to make sure his truck is gone, good I can pack.
I run upstairs and grab two bags, I throw what clothes and toiletries I can. I grab the $2000 I have been stashing in case I need to run and give my baby girl some love. I’m this moment I hear the truck start to pull up. s**t. I run out the front door and jump in my car and speed off to a hotel near by.
On the way a grab a bottle of wine and some snacks, if I am going to take some time to relax I better do this right. I get to the hotel about twenty minutes later, I hear my phone going crazy.
Where are you
I will find you
You are mine.
I will kill you and him when I find you.
Micheal has lost his mind. He’s the cheater not me, I have only ever been with him. He was my first everything.
I check in and told the girl I am not sure how long I will be here, she sees the bruises and I see the understanding and sadness flash into her eyes. “If anyone comes here looking for you I’ll make sure to tell them you are not here.” I smile and nod.
I take the elevator up, floor 3 room 321. I am able to breath for the first time. I can do this. Now I just have to figure out how to get my dog and life back. Once I get to the room I unpack, run a bath and open the wine. I don’t even try to find a glass. I know I will finish the bottle, and why waste dishes right!? I soak in the bath for a while and decide I should go down to the pool. I get into my bikini, which fits perfectly around my DD’s and hips. I may not have much of a backside but it’s enough to fit my suit. I grab my wine and head on down.
