A Past Will Haunt Me

I never realized how strong he really was until that morning.
             "Get out bitch. You know you kissed Kyle and don't deny it, I saw you." He screamed I could hear the jealousy and rage in his tone of voice. I started to feel fear coming on to me.
             He had a strong hold of my arms with his teeth digging through my thin white blouse. It felt like a humongous bulldog that took a chunk of my flesh off my very arm.
             "I kissed him because you and I are over. Besides you hooked up with some other girl right in front of my face." I was starting to cry.
             "Why should you even care what I do, you fucking asshole?" I cried with pain and frustration.
             As soon as I said these words, he grabbed and pulled my hair and probably tried to take a chunk of it. It was painful.
             I slammed his door carelessly and I just dropped in the middle of the road with all of my belonging at the same time. I didn't know what to do. I called my friend she wanted to come and pick me up and to comfort me but I insisted that she would stay home. She made me talk to her on the phone until I reached my house so that nothing else would happen. I don't know what would I have done if she weren't there for me. I felt like a fool of being in that position. I guessed I already knew that I would be in this mess. I had it coming, just a matter of time.

He was emotionally imbalanced inside so the only way to make him feel better was to be tough. He always had a dark shadow over me and didn't know how to get past it. It made him get his ways with me without arguing. I thought that I could change his attitude toward his anger because I felt pity of him. I should have seen .
             the signs. It is extremely important that I should have been more aware of the warning signs of an abusive relationship.
