may 24th the second time it happened

11 days after derric choked and hit me, i gave into him again. he had called me 100 times a days, and texts begging me to forgive him and to meet with him so he could apologize to me in person and then he would leave me alone. and despite my better judgement, i gave in and agreed to meet with him one last time.when i arrived where he was staying he asked me to give him a ride, to our walmart, and me being me, i did. and as soon as i started driving he began accusing me of messing with his family members. we were only a half a mile from the walmart when he grabbed my phone and threw it out the window of my van and it shattered all over the road. once we approached the red light at the walmart he rared back and punched me in the right side of my face while i was driving. luckily i was able to stop the vehicle and another person driving beside me saw what had happened and called the cops, once stopped i jumped out of the van in the middle of the road and was screaming and crying. i knew he wouldnt stop if if i didnt, cops came and there came the EPO against derric and i was left with another black eye. never ever again.

may 13th the first time it happened

may 13th 2016, the first time a man has ever put his hands on me. and it was a man that i had known forever, one i care for and loved. and within a split second he had grabbed me by my throat, and was choking me up again the wall, while he continued to punch me in the side of the head and in my nose over and over, screaming at me accusing me of things i had never done. it was so scary, i began to fade, i couldnt breath and i couldnt get loose, and right before i passed all the way out, his mother came and was trying to get him off me, then ran to call the cops, he then let me go, and ran after her and i was able to muster up enough breath and energy to grab my keys and run to my car and drive away. i was left with a black eye, knots and bruises on the side of my head, a busted and bleeding nose, and bruised hand prints around my neck. hart co PD would do nothing about it because they were not called to the scene. i can honestly say i never thought anything like that would ever happen to me. i was terrified.
