Broken-Chapter 1: Free

How is it that things could change in the blink of an eye? It’s not possible is it? Everything was fine. Everything was the way it’s always been. Then it just changed. All of it.
Micah and I were happy. We were together for three years. I was in love with him, and he was on love with me. He was my world and he would do anything for me. Not too long ago, we went to a party. That’s where things started to change. He changed. One minute I was dancing the night away with my friends. The next, I was being beaten because I was “cheating”. Why would I cheat on him? He was my world. Was.
Things just kept getting worse from then on. I was a cheater. A liar. Worthless. I was a nobody. I deserved everything I got. Nothing mattered to me anymore. I did as he said and I would be okay. Physically. I had to behave and not do anything reckless. I had to stay put and obey. Nothing was the same.
We’re not happy anymore. I’m not happy. I am drained. I am hurt. I am tired. Tired of the name calling. Tired of the pain. Tired of him. I want to just close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep where no one can bother me and I can just dream.
And that’s what I intend to do. No more pain. Physically or emotionally. No more being put down. No more exhaustion. I’m going to be free. Free from him. Finally free.
