Chapter 2

When I woke up I was so happy that maybe James would start being nice to me. He is the love of my life even if he abuses me. That's why I never left him. I was so happy that I was making his favorite breakfast tonight.

When I started to cook I heard a faint cry from Isabelle room. I got up to go get my baby but when I went there James was already calming her down. I just stand there enjoying the view. I soon remember that I was cooking so I went back downstairs. After I finished cooking I went to go get James and Belle. I couldn't stop smiling at the table.

"Why are you so happy," James said it like he was irritated.

"The words you said yesterday swells my heart."

"So what? It was just some words. Those words meant nothing." Does he really mean that? Those words can't mean nothing. It sounded like he was genuine about it.

"Do you really mean that?" I'm actually quite scared of the answer.

"I don't see why you're so upset about what I said. I just said the truth." I feel like my heart is shattering. I felt like we shared a moment last night, but I guess it wasn't.

"What about all that stuff yesterday? That moment we shared?"

"I only said that so you wouldn't leave and would stay here. I could really care less about that 'moment'." I could barely breathe after he said that. I wish I never heard those words come out of his mouth. I really wished that he took it back.

After he said that he sat next to me and took Isabelle away from me. I get up and run to the guest bedroom to cry. I guess I wasn't that quiet because soon James came up. "What's wrong, Baby?" Why is he asking like he cares. He could care less about my feelings right now.

"What does it mater? You don't actually care about me"

"Actually I do. Why do you have to always cause something? Why can't you just answer the question?" He sounds like he is getting more angry by the second.

"I'm just tired of the abuse and you lying to me." His eyes darken after those words left my mouth.

"Your always blaming me for everything. You cause me to hit you. I wouldn't hit you if you would just listen to me." While saying this he starts to hit me all over my body. I tried to block his hits but they just kept coming. I was begging him to stop but it was like it was going through one ear out the next.

He soon stopped and I was a bloody mess. I shakily got up and went to clean myself. After cleaning myself up, I went to get Belle. I got her and went to the guest bedroom. I refused to sleep in the same bed as James. I soon fell asleep with Belle in my arms.

I woke up to the sun in my face. I start to think of all the things that happened to me. I soon broke down because I couldn't believe that I let that happen to me. I started to wipe my tears away as he isn't worth my tears. I grabbed a duffel bag and started to throw my clothes and Belle's clothes in there. That's when I realized that James wasn't even in the room. Maybe he went to cheat on me but I don't care that girl can have him.

I called my best friend that James made me stop talking to because he was a guy. He said I could stay at his beach house for a while until I can get back on my own feet. I grabbed Belle and the keys and walked out. As soon as I was about to get in the car the door slammed.

I turn around and see James behind me. My eyes widen in fear of what he would do to me. I notice that he has hickeys on his neck and smells of some type of perfume that isn't mine.

"Going somewhere?" He smirks at me. Oh how I would love to smack the smirk off his face.

"Away from you. You're always cheating on me and hitting me. I can't take this anymore I'm leaving with Belle." I feel happy for myself as I finally stood up for myself.

"YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY DAUGHTER AWAY FROM ME. SHE NEEDS HER FATHER." I can see that he is about to snap at any second. My fear grows for myself and Belle.

He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me into the house. He throws me on the ground and goes back out the house. I get up to stop him from getting Belle. He grabs her and walks back in. I try to grab Belle away from him but he just pushes me aside.

He comes back down after some seconds and walks towards me. Every step he takes I take one back. Soon I feel my back touch the wall. Now I'm trapped and can't get away from him. He is now towering over me and my fear shoots through the roof. He lifts his hand and I flinch thinking he will hit me.

He just wipes my tears away. "If you want to leave then leave. You're not taking Belle with you though." How could I leave Belle with this monster.

"I can't leave her with a m-monster. I don't know if you will hurt her like you hurt me if I leave." After I say that I feel a slap come down on my face.

"DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT I WILL EVER PUT MY HANDS ON MY BABY GIRL." He starts to punch and kick me. I'm screaming for him to stop but he wouldn't. He stopped when Belle started to cry. He left me on the floor to tend to her. I try to get up to try and make sure that he doesn't hurt her.

I can't get up no matter how much I try soon black dots cover my vision. I welcome the darkness.
