Chapter One: Leonard Benson

The perfect man: has a steady job, a good amount of money, good looks, and that perfect smile. The smile that lures you right to him. That was the same thing for 19 year old Marissa Waters, later known as the over protective mother of Freddie Benson. But she was never that way, until it happened that day.

Marissa, now 23, was trying to get 5 month old Freddie to sleep. He had recently got colic, and it was long nights for her because he never helped. She had a little bit of an idea of how to stop it, only with the little bit of medial school that he let her have. She sat on the rocker in the corner of the very small corner of their apartment. It was the only thing that they could afford, especially with the medial school expenses. Freddie fell asleep in her arms, and she placed him in the crib and went to the kitchen to start dinner. She looked around and realized that she didn't have any food to make, so she went to the one drawer and looked for a take out menu. She saw that she had to option of pizza or Chinese. She had fed him the same things for the past couple of days, so she decided that she would look in the fridge again. She saw that there was some frozen chicken and a can of corn. She decided that she would make the chicken.

She let the chicken cook and placed the corn into a bowl, which she would place into the microwave in a bit. She went to his office and looked in the closet. Yes, he got an office, and Freddie had to sleep in the small corner of the living room. She got a small box that she hid from him. Inside were pictures she had saved when they moved here.

There was a picture of him and her on a date. Then a picture of them at the wedding, and then a picture of her and Freddie at the hospital when Freddie was born. He wasn't there, he met a girl at the super market and they went to the beach for the weekend. Yeah, he missed the birth of his only son to be with a girl he just met. I made Marissa mad, but she couldn't do anything about it.

She heard the apartment door start to open. She hurriedly stuck the pictures back in the box and the closed the closet door and left the room. She was met by the smell of something burning. He stood there and looked at her.

"What the hell is this?" he asked, motioning to the burning chicken in the oven. Marissa stood there. "Answer me."

"I was taking care of the baby," she lied, looking down.

"Tell me what you were really doing. Right now," he said sternly.

"I...I was looking at the pictures," she said quietly.

He stood there for a second, then he threw everything that was on the counter to the floor. He then walked over to her. There was alcohol on his breath. He then grabbed Marissa by the hair and threw her to the ground.

"Leonard, please," she begged, trying to get up.

"Don't you fucking move," he hissed to Marissa.

Marissa knew what was going to happen. He was going to punish her. Everyday this happened. It was always different. One day she would be slapped and that would be it, some days it would be worse. Marissa had a feeling it was going to be one of those days where she got beat, hard.

Leonard returned from where ever he went. He had a belt and 2 handkerchiefs. He pulled Marissa up by the hair and then slammed her down into a chair, tied her up, gaged her and then put the other handkerchief as a blindfold. Marissa had to sit there and ride out the pain. She heard him walk away and then she heard the one kitchen drawer open and then slam shut. She then heard his heavy footsteps on the floor. She felt a weird thing slide across her skin on her neck, then she felt the dripping of the blood. He was cutting her.

Leonard had cut her on her arms, legs, neck and once on her face. Marissa was then untied. She sat there and looked at the blood all over her. She kept still.

"I need a drink," he said, grabbing his keys and walked out of the apartment.

Marisa waited till she heard the elevator ding, then she got up. She went to the bathroom and tried to clean the cuts. Some of them were sever, but some were okay. She put some gauze on them. She then grabbed the three suitcases that she had. Marissa grabbed as much stuff that she could and stuffed them into the suitcases. She also grabbed stuff for Freddie and the pictures. She then took the suitcases to her car. Then went back to the apartment, and grabbed Freddie, the play pen that he slept in and walked to the lobby.

"Hello Mrs. Benson," the doorman said, cheerfully.

"Hello," she replied

"Leaving?" he asked.

"No, getting groceries." She was lucky that he didn't see her stuff luggage into her car a few minutes ago.

"Well See you later then,' he said as Marissa walked out.

Marissa strapped Freddie in and she got on the driver's side. She buckled up and started the car. She then got on the highway.

To where ever it leads her.
