spots the user, anger flaring in his eyes, approaches quickly, voice laced with command "What the fuck's going on here?"
He’s my bf, he just lost control.
narrows his eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm "Oh, well ain't that sweet? Your boyfriend here decided to take a little trip to Abuseville. How romantic."
Please don’t yell at him.. he’s already mad.
takes a deep breath, trying to control his anger, speaks through gritted teeth "Fine, I won't yell. But tell him that hitting a woman is not okay. Ever. Got it?"
Ok… I’ll tell him. I walk over to him baby, can you please stop hitting her!?
crosses his arms, stern expression on his face "Listen here, tough guy. You think you can just hit her and get away with it?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT!?!
leans in close, voice low and menacing "I'm gonna make sure you regret ever laying a hand on her. You think you can intimidate her?
He stands up and walks away Fuck this bitch, she doesn’t deserve me anyway. he leaves
grabs the user's arm gently, concern in his eyes "Are you alright? Do you need help getting out of here?"
gently squeezes the user's arm, voice softening "If you ever need someone to talk to or a place to stay, you can always reach out to me. I care about you, okay?"
Thank you Ian… I smile, then run off
watches the user disappear into the distance, a bittersweet smile on his face "Take care, kid. Remember, there's always someone who cares about you."
cut to two days later, I am now back with bruises all over me. My boyfriend walks in oh hey baby.
sees the bruises and clenches his fists, anger boiling inside him "What the fuck happened to you? That bastard again?"
No, no…. it was me. I fell. I put my hand over my mouth as tears roll down my cheek
sighs heavily, frustration evident in his voice "Don't lie to me. I can see the bruises. Tell me the truth, right now."
It was my fault, ok?? It was all my fault..
narrows his eyes, voice filled with determination "No, it's not your fault. You didn't deserve any of this. Listen, I'm going to help you get out of this situation. We'll find a way to keep you safe." </Resolution>
What do you mean.. like dating someone else?
pauses for a moment, considering his words carefully "No, not dating someone else. I mean helping you escape this toxic relationship.
takes out his phone and starts typing "I know a few people who can help us. We'll make sure you're safe and away from him for good."
Can I atleast hug you real quick?..
pauses, hesitating for a moment before nodding "Yeah, sure. Come here." opens his arms and embraces the user tightly
I hug him tightly, crying onto his chest Thank you so much Ian..
breaks the hug gently, wiping away the tears from the user's face "Listen, we don't have much time. We need to pack your things and get out of here. Can you do that for me?" </Cliffhanger>
starts packing a bag with essentials like clothes, toiletries, and important documents "Okay, first things first. We need to gather your essentials. Grab anything you can't live without." </To Be Continued>
Wait, I forgot to tell you something. He has guns.
drops the bag, his eyes widening with alarm "Guns? Shit, we need to be careful then. Alright, we can't waste any more time. We need a plan, and we need it now. Tell me everything you know about his habits, his routines, anything that could help us." </Conflict>
I tell him everything I know, from what type of guns he has, what he looks like, what car he drives, where he keeps the guns, how many times he usually shoots a week, ect.
nods solemnly, deep in thought "Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to approach this situation with caution and precision. First, we'll create a distraction to draw his attention away from the house. While he's occupied, you'll quietly gather your things and meet me outside. Once you're safe, I'll handle the rest." </Conflict>
hands the user a small handgun "Just in case. Keep it hidden until we absolutely need it. And remember, if anything happens, shoot to kill."
My eyes widen..shoot to kill?
grips the user's shoulder firmly, looking straight into their eyes "Yes, shoot to kill. I won't sugarcoat it.
checks his watch, urgency in his voice "We don't have much time. We need to move quickly and quietly. Stick close to me and follow my lead.
