The following day was tiring, as usual, I called jasmine but her phone went straight to voicemail where the fuck is this girl?

Well, the day went by and it was already 5 pm I was ready to go home, shower, and just spend time with Aro and Rob.

My phone rang while walking to Robbies car...

My phone fell from my hand and I was crying I couldn't control my tears the call I got broke me Robbie held me and I told him crying I sat at the back with Aro then we left, Aro hugged me something about a Hug from a child that's calming...

I explained how she has to stay with aunt Ava she was excited so Rob dropped me off at the hospital and took her to his mother.

My feet felt weird like I couldn't walk I was scared, her mom called me crying and when I walked in it was real she was here in a hospital because a man failed to be a man and let his issues put my friend in the hospital.

I asked the nurses where her room was 10C (ICU) tenth floor I got in the lift and when that bell rang, I got out and walked to the room I walked slowly I was not ready to see her in that state but had to put on my big girl panties she would do that for me too, I opened the door to find her Mom, Dad, Brother, and the Marks.

I hugged them and went to her mom because it was like she was glued to the chair right next to Jasmine she was holding her bruised hand, I couldn't help but feel bad that I couldn't put a stop to this.

"She suffered from Intracranial hematoma (ICH) and was rushed for surgery to relieve the pressure around the brain, a few broken ribs and wrist"

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Wong I should have ....."

She kissed my hand and told me not to say another word only if she knew I knew, guilt was eating me up inside I looked at Jas her bandaged head,  bruises she had a cast on her right hand what the hell happened?

"I knew ..."I said in a whisper

"We both know Jasmine, she wouldn't have left Tim sadly it had to end like this"

I felt relieved....what kind of friend am I ? worried about myself when she nearly lost her life.

I got up and went to get water then drank it ....Robbie came and everyone had a groupie moment they need to focus...

After that moment we sat down and prayed
, we left late she was still heavily sedated so her mom promised to call me if there are any changes so we left.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

A few days later she woke up I was at home so when Mrs. Wong told me she was awake I ran to see her.

"Please don't look at me like that"

"I was so scared Jas"

"You know when I was a little girl I was so scared of thunder and lightning I would hide under my bed, my dad called me and  took out his phone fixed the flashlight for when he takes the picture, I thought he was insane and he would start taking pictures"

"He would say smile, God is taking pictures of you like I just did with my phone, I would laugh and from that day I wasn't scared of the storm, he said God would never hurt me how will I face this storm because I'm pretty sure I ignored God when he warned me about Tim"

"Jas"

"You are brave jas he wanted to break you and yet here you are"

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you I was ashamed that I allowed it," she said...

"You don't have to apologize okay" we hugged crying...

Jasmine's POV

I met Nia the first time at school we shared a dorm room, she was quite never wanted to socialize she wore big glasses and was always studying.

Even when Kelly called her scholarship girl she never cared how do you get to that place where the noise outside doesn't shake you.

Nia was different we were opposites and I knew we would be good friends she was the jelly because she's sweet me I was the peanut butter because I have no idea.

She started opening up music brought us together I secretly heard her sing To make you feel my love in the shower and played the song, we spoke that day and didn't stop.

She's amazing , her mom neglected her but that never stopped her it only fueled her to work harder so in a way her mom made her the strong independent woman she is today.

We did a lot together going to clubs she would stay for 20 min max and just disappear I didn't like it at first but got used to it.

She was the cleaner, she cleaned my mess while I excelled in messing up, we still live together and I wouldn't have it any other way.

You know it is said that the Nile Crocodile studies it's prey before it attacks it ,that's how Tim got close to me he would watch me in the club I thought it was sweet but it was an obsession.

I only realized how unhealthy that was when I found that picture on his phone, seeing that picture was the first red flag which I turned a blind eye to.

I fell for him hard how is dangerous sexy?

Everything about him was hot and dangerous I fell for his jokes, he spoiled me he treated me well till we got into arguments then the monster would come out to play.

He wanted me near him all the time we would go clubbing and I wasn't supposed to wear anything short or too revealing because it made me look "cheap"

I became self-conscious he started with my confidence he called me stupid one day because I couldn't use a fucken can opener.

Red flags were always there I chose to ignore them the first time he hit me I didn't understand because it happened so fast, from being a party girl who hooked up with different men to a victim of abuse, no that can't be me.

How do I explain this? I felt stuck with him, I knew I had to go but my feet didn't move I stayed for the abuse and everything that came with it.

I watched Tim break me ,am I weak for not fighting back? For not leaving?

It was a Friday night when we made dinner plans it has been a month since he hit me so I thought we were making progress or he has healed ...little did I know.

I got ready wore my short white dress, a little cleavage never did any harm plus I was going to meet him at the restaurant so he couldn't make me change it even if he wants me to.

"Perfect," I thought to myself and got an Uber because he will be driving me back.

I got there earlier and while having wine I saw him Antonio aka the man that made me give up on love ...After breaking my virginity and being my boyfriend for 2 years in high school he disappeared I found out YEARS later that he and his family got deported to Mexico.

I understand all that but he couldn't even tell me you know what fuck him , I tried my best to ignore him but he spotted me fuck....

He came to my table and I stood up I wanted to slap him but hugged him instead then boom I turn around TIM....holy shit...

He wore a torn white top with his leather jacket and ripped jeans...I saw something I didn't like in his eyes...probably the monster that's rough with me when we get into a fight...

"Babe" I cleared my throat

Antonio stepped back and Tim held me

"Antonio this is my boyfriend....uhm Tim"

"Babe this is .....Toni, he was my classmate I mean in high school class..." what was I even saying.

He didn't respond or even shake his hand I could cut the tension with a knife.

He left and I apologized to Antonio and gave him my numbers I ran after Tim the moment I left the restaurant I knew I'm in deep shit I'm wearing a short dress, cleavage out, and hugging a man.

We got in the car and I thought we were gonna crash he didn't slow down he kept going I begged him but he didn't even look at me.

I don't know when we got in his house but I grabbed my bag and took my shoes off at the door they were killing me,

I tried to call him he was still quite I felt like a child ready for her punishment, I stood next to him in the kitchen.....he took out his cigarette and smoked it blowing the smoke on my face I coughed I hated the smell and he knew that ,

I felt very scared I tried to walk away but I was too late he stopped me, the next thing I heard my ears ringing I was face down on the floor...,

Blood came from my forehead because I hit the corner of the countertop when I fell, I tried to get up but he grabbed me by my hair and said "You look cheap in that dress what was I thinking loving a slut that has slept with half of New York"

See what I mean he studied everything I did I was foolish for not using the Exit when I still had the chance instead I stayed.

I couldn't answer him...I knew better than to do that I value my life even if my decisions and actions didn't show that...

He started kicking and punching me I didn't know how to block them so I just became a punching bag....his punching bag

"Tim please stop I'm sorry... I'm sorry" that's what I did best, he would hit me and I'd apologize for making him do it.

"You made me do this" he said

He pulled me by my hair again and slammed my head on the floor, he kept going he wouldn't stop so I pretended to pass out or maybe I did?

My white dress was now red, I was covered in my blood, I laid there still and every time he looked my way I closed my now swollen eyes...

I opened one eye and saw him, he wasn't facing me I was near my bag but had to move a bit and when I did I regretted that because it felt like I would die from the pain...

I got it and tried to dial 911 after a couple of failed attempts because my fingers were jelly and I had a little strength left it finally got through all I could say was "Please help me"

"Stay on the line while I send for help" is all I could hear before he came running to me calling me a bitch.

My head hurt a lot more than before and all I could see was darkness.

Beep Beep.........

I opened my eyes and immediately got blinded by the light in the room it took time for my brain to process that I was in a hospital, the IV on my left hand, the cast on my right hand my head was throbbing...

What happened to me?

Then it all came to me and I couldn't stop the pain I felt reliving those moments yet I felt numb... dead on the inside how can someone say they love you yet want to destroy you?

Any errors please forgive Me guys🤦🏽‍♀️
