Looking back now, I remember his smile, always lopsided and bright. I just can't imagine why he had wanted to leave me, or as he said in his note left behind. To set me free, it hasn't in many ways set me free; it only led me towards my hateful destiny.

Now I just don't know why I'm still here, without him. My thoughts were interrupted by the one and only Zigmund Novak. I agreed to marry him after I graduated from college.

At the age of 21 I realize, it was magical... then, we had long, bitter arguments, most about how I didn't want to communicate about Campbell Saunters, the one I will dedicate all my love to.

That's exactly the reason we argued, I dedicate my love to Campbell Saunters. I refuse to do any sexual things, if Campbell can't have me. No one can.

That's when my lovely husband started to hit me, using my skin as a canvas, and painting it with various nasty colors. I still remember sobbing in bed after his first strike. The morning after, it had only gotten worse, ending every night in screaming fits of fury and the front door slamming.

"Are you ready to go Maya" Zig said with an awkward cough, his voice filled with attitude, never will he say my name as Cam did.
"Uh, uh...yeah, let me grab my phone" I replied quietly, "how many times do I need to remind you not to lose your phone, I paid big money for it" he scolded with a sneer.

I only glared at the tiny, cheap phone in my hand, as the headache he had given me only grew bigger and more painful. " Zig honey, I didn't lose my phone, its right here in my hand" I said swallowing my urge to snap.

"I know, but you should keep your phone on you, so I can keep in touch with you twenty-four seven" he smiles slipping his arms around my waist as I shiver in disgust.

As I thought it couldn't get much worse, it did! He bent down whispering in my ear "don't be like that" he said as he removed my hair from one side of neck, I shivered again once my warmth of the hair had been gone.

Pressing his cold, forceful, and hard lips against my collar bone making his way up towards my jaw, turning my head to get full charge of my lips, as he then presses his lips against mine.

Shoving my small, petite body against the wall, making me whimper into the kiss. He grabs my thighs wrapping them around his waist as he pushes me harder against the crème colored door frame, making me squeeze my eyes together and scream in pain inside his mouth.

He chuckles into the kiss and sticks his tongue inside my mouth. I forcefully shove him, falling off him and landing on my butt.

He stands up with a bloody nose, "Maya, you are going to pay for this" he says angered.

I do what everyone does at that moment, I ran straight to the front door as he chased me through the yard, I jumped into the SUV and start it before Zig has the chance to grab a rock and throw it at the car.

Driving out of the drive- way, I turn on some music to calm myself down and to stop shaking. I sang to the lyrics of "Hurricane" by Bridget Meddler. I don't know where I'm going, as long as it's far-away from that house and the person in it. It's like I don't even know him anymore, I thought.

I pulled into the parking lot of a park, unbuckling my seat belt and opening the car door, walking out and towards a weirdly shaped tree. I sat on a bench and just randomly sobbed. Pulling my knees towards my chest in the action of crying.

"Oh dear, whatever could make someone as pretty as you cry this hard" I heard a women say as I looked up startled.

"I don't know, I wish I could start over, starting with high school" I sniffled.

"Your wish is my command" she winked as I sat there confused with the words that had just come out of her mouth.

"Hey, uh-" I looked up, but stopped what I had said, realizing she had disappeared.

I sighed making my way to my white twenty-seven thousand dollar SUV; I opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, placing my key into the slot.

The engine rumbled as I lifted the throttle, going in reverse. I started on the highway, driving to a nearby motel that I usually entered when I and Zig had these arguments.

I had a stash here, people here basically let me live here. They aLos provide support, a handful of my daily friends work here.

I do my regular routine, eat, shower, put on PJ's, brush teeth, comb hair, watch a movie, and go to sleep. I drift into sleep as I usually would, but I know that I'd feel safer if I had someone there to hold me as I do.

Tell me how it was, if I get 5+ I'll update tomorrow and announce the person who reviews and thank them publically! Thank you for reading! :)
