Tomorrow is Saturday. Tomorrow is also the day Chris comes back. I text him yesterday asking to meet up at the coffee shop down the road from my place. We agreed a time and I knew all I had to do was show up.
Ian was still being very caring but it was starting to annoy me. He would watch me like a hawk and if I didnt eat one mouthful of food he would stay with me at the table until I did. Although I knew I had to do this to get better, I was starting to get frustrated. And the situation would not be made any better by breaking up with Chris. Can I really do this?
The rest of the week had gone very slowly, Ash was continuously checking on me as well. She knew what I was going to do tomorrow and advised me not to give in. This is what I wanted, and this is what I needed.

I woke up late that saturday morning dreading the day ahead. We had planned to meet late afternoon after his flight had landed and Ian was going to drive me. I was scared but I just hoped it would make me feel better.
'I think it would be best if you stayed here' I said a few hours later to Ian in the car
'Are you sure? You don't know what he is going to say, or do for that matter'
'If im going to do this I need to do it alone, but thankyou'
'Anything for you Lucy' he said before pulling me into a tight embrace
I walked into the coffee shop extremely nervous. He was already there waiting for me in the corner seat.
'Hey Lucy' he said when I began walking towards him
'Hi' I said still nervous
He pulled me into a liss on the lips. I can't do this I thought. I turned my face to the side so he ended up kissing my cheek.
'You okay?' he said to me obviously picking up on the weirdness I was jsut demonstrating
'Listen, we need to talk'
'Let me go first, I think we need to forget about the weekend, I love you and Im sorry for getting angry with you' here he goes again I thought. He says this everytime we have an argument. He never changes and the next time we fight he's 10x worse.
'I don't want to forget about it Chris, it happened juse like all the other times you have had a go at me'
'What's your point?' he questioned
'I can't do this anymore Chris' I said whispering so only I could really hear it
'what?'
'I can't do this' that time I practically shouted it, phewww, I took a sigh of relief. I seriously just did it
'It's him isn't it' Chris said screaming
'I don't know what you are talking about' was my reply
'That bloke, from work, Ian. Where is he I swear to god this is not going to turn out pretty'
'No its not him Chris, he has nothing to do with this. Well he does but not in that way.' I told him 'Im sick Chris and I have come to realise that you are not helping me. You make me feel horrible about myself, you put me down for every positive thing I do and I don't enjoy spending time with you.'
'That's it' he said screaming in my face once more, he stood up from his stool and walked out of the coffee shop people staring
Ian's POV
I sat impatiently in my car waiting for Lucy. I hope she is okay, I know how horrible and manipulative that bloke can be. I never agreed with their relationship, my jelously probably didn't help but nothing ever seemed right between them.
I was just about to ring Lucy to see if she was okay when I heard my car door open and I got dragged out my car by a pair of strong hands.
'This is for what you did to her' he said punching me in the face
'And this is for what you did to my relationship' he said punching me in the stomach
I was in so much pain and everyhting was going blury and then black...
