Mind Over Him

I woke with a jerk.


'I am safe now, I am safe....' I kept thinking to myself as I got up. I was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, and the only attempt to look good today was me brushing my hair.


Right after breakfast I started packing my things. I was scared of Blake, and the only way I can stop him from threatening other people is if I be with him, 24/7. So, Im moving in with him.


"Honey, send him to jail. You know better!" my mother said, trying to talk me out of it.


"No!" I said, turning away from the box on the ground that I just closed. "Blake just needs some time, thats all. He'll change."



I heard my mother sigh and leave the room. Was I actually doing this? Was I actually going to become closer to the man I hate; to the man who treatened the lives of my family and friend; who threatened to kill me?


Yes. So he cannot threaten no more. Besides, I might re-love him again. Then he'll change. I know it!


My mind kept thinking back to John, and how he was such a good man. I had to tell him that I couldnt see him anymore, or else. I wish I could talk to him again... but I dont know where he lives, or his phone number or anything! Arg it frustrates me to no end!



I heard the phone ring. I was tempted to answer it, but I had to focus on packing the rest of my things.


Then it hit me like a ton of bricks ... John's buisness card! How could I have been so stupid?!??!


I jumped right up and ran to kitchen, searching for my sweater.
