He was so angry when I left him. I'd never done it before. People sometimes have an off and on again thing in relationships like this. Or so I've heard. But I'd left this relationship months ago, even if it was only in my mind. I was afraid of the physical thing. Because then he'd have to know about it.

I had help. I moved everything out while he was at work. I had been preparing, so it was done in a matter of hours. A few more and I was settled in with Melissa. Then she left for work, and I was alone.

Months of preparing and hiding and fearing. Just a matter of hours. Perhaps that's why it didn’t feel real.

I should have just blocked him immediately, but I didn't.

Where are you? Babe?
