He was 26 years old, she was 17.
She remembered how he manipulated her into submission. She gave him her savings so he could pay off his debts to his landlord... They would be taking amfetamines from thursdays till mondays with little or no sleep. She quit her job and sat all week in the living room waiting for him, as he was going about, hustling here and there. Selling pills to people or whatever scheme he was working on. She only found out later he was double crossing everyone he knew. He owed a lot of money to a lot of people.....
There was a lot of aggression between them. No wonder, since she was continuously hungover and on edge because of all the drugs they were taking. He took her phone away and she was screaming, crying on her knees. Begging him to give it back to her. He smashed it on the floor, showing no remorse.
Another time their arguments became so heated that she ran out of the house in the middle of the night in her pijamas, bare feet. He locked her out and she was standing in the rain... He refused to let her back in and she stood there, crying. She was just a child.
It all came to a climax when he hit her.... She fled to the balcony and he locked her up there... But she did have her phone with her.... And she called her father and finally after 6 months of destruction and toxicity.. she told him everything and he didn't hesitate to come pick her up.
Within 2 hours he was there with his van... They loaded all her stuff into the van and drove back home.... Only to come back to the endless fights with her parents... But at least no one was hitting her..... It was the start of a new chapter.
