"You don't have to be miserable to write, you write because you have to. Because it gnaws away at your insides if you try to ignore it. Because if you don't write then you might as well be dead. - Jane Lockhart, Not Another Happy Ending


He smelled like alcohol
She let it go

He could always find something wrong
She tried her best

He got mad
She hid in their bedroom

He wrecked the house
She cried

He threw a bottle
She grabbed the phone

He picked her up
She was terrified

He saw the phone
She stared at him

He said "I love you"
She said "I love you too"

He hugged her
She put the phone down

He got mad again
She didn't make it

I've grown up watching all the murder shows on ID. I've seen what happens when you stay in an abusive relationship. I have written this to show the price people pay when staying in these relationships.
