leave right now. I swear
Kyle I will make you regret ever knowing me if you don’t leave now!” Erin pulls me to her. “You’re done with her
Kyle. Don’t call or text her anymore. She isn’t your girlfriend!”

 
    “Is that what
you want Sophia? You want us to be done? No more?”

 
    I tear my eyes
away from him. This is too much. I hate that I’m doing this. I just want to say
sorry and tell him that we can work it out. I look at Erin and her expression says it all. I need
to break up with him. I can’t live like this. I touch my face and remember all
the times he’s hit me. This is it. “I’m sorry Kyle but we can’t be together
anymore.” My voice is so low. I hope he hears me. “I just can’t do this
anymore.”

 
    Kyle takes one
final look at us. “This isn’t over,” he says threateningly before leaving. Erin shuts the door and I fall into her arms.

 

Chapter 3

 
    I told Erin everything about Kyle, his temper and
how he’s been beating me for the past few weeks. I told her about my sessions
with Dr. Taylor and how I’ve had to keep so many things about my life a secret. Erin sat there stunned and speechless but I
couldn’t blame her. She kept asking me why I stayed with him. I couldn’t
answer. I stayed with him because I didn’t want to be alone. I didn’t think
anyone could love me since Adam wasn’t around. I told Erin that Kyle did love me but she told me
love shouldn’t be this way. We both cried as she held me. She told me how
stupid I was for being with him and not telling anyone. She begged me to go to
the doctors but I told her I was ok and didn’t want to deal with anyone or have
my dad find out. I hated lying to her. It was painful to breathe.

 
    “ Soph , I will be
here for you no matter what.” She gives me a reassuring smile and holds me
while I cry. “It’ll be ok. Come on let’s watch a movie and get your mind off
this crap and that asshole.”

 
    “Ok.” My whole
body goes limp. I can’t cry anymore. My eyes are puffy and my head is pounding. Erin gives me a bottle of cold water. I hold
it to my face and lay back down on my bed. I did it. I am free of Kyle. I hope
that everything will be ok now.

 
    Erin pops in the movie and we get comfortable
on my bed. It’s good to have her here with me, I feel safe. There’s a huge
weight that’s off my shoulders. I feel guilty and miss Kyle. He used to sleep
on the side Erin is lounging, I ask her for another
pillow, his pillow. I breathe in his
scent and start to cry again. I want Kyle back. Maybe I’ll call him in the
morning. We both need time apart tonight. The movie starts and I fall right to sleep.

 
    Morning comes
and I wake up to a beautiful sunrise. Its six o’clock and I feel a little better. I look over
and notice that Erin isn’t there. I feel a little sad but
figure she has class this morning. I’m still in bed as I touch my face and
stomach. I’m still in pain from last night. I close my eyes and try to think
about the other night. I can’t get Kyle’s face out of my head. I feel like
calling him and telling him how sorry I am. I grab my phone as it vibrates on
my nightstand, thinking it could be Erin checking on me, but instead I see a message from Kyle.

 
    Kyle: If you tell anyone anything I will
kill you. You don’t know what I am capable of Sophia. You will be mine again
even if I have to drag you back. No one leaves me do you understand? Get your
shit together! Be the good girlfriend that you’re supposed to be. Do I make
myself clear?

 
    I throw my phone
on the floor and cry. I start hyperventilating and am hysterically looking
around my room, he has a key to my room. He can come
in any time and hurt me again. I make a quick call to campus security for them
to change the locks on my door. They let me know it will be done today and not
to worry. How easy for them to say, they haven’t been through my hell. I’m such
a fool. I honestly want my life to be back to
