Be My Peace

Chapter 9:Unthinkable

When I entered I sat down at my desk and turned my computer on so I can start looking for schools

"Okay Industry of Makeup got some good reviews. Let's see some of their work." I say to myself as I started going through some pictures clients or students themselves have posted

"Okay most definitely writing that one down." I say I wrote Industry of Makeup down

"Okay next one. This one provides all of them." I say to myself as I wrote that one down as well "but the reviews aren't good."

"Baby what are you doing? I've been calling you for the past 10 minutes." Dallas says as he walked over to where I was and looked at my screen

"Jaleesa what are you doing looking up schools for? I told you if you with me you're not doing that shit!" He says with an upset face

"Dallas I want to do something in life! I'm not gonna sit around the house all day doing nothing. I have skills for this and I don't want them to go waste!" I say as I raised my voice

"You better lower your fucking tone, and watch who you talking to! You're not going to school and it's as simple as that. When I got with you I told you I'm gonna take care of you. I don't like that independent shit."

"And it plenty of shit to do around here. Cook,clean or something!"

"Dallas that gets boring after awhile! I wanna do something that excites me. And sitting around the house doesn't. You don't have to accept it but at least be supportive baby."

"I already told you. I can take care of you. Fuck a dream or fantasy you trying to bring to life." He says while making a disgusting face

"Fuck you Dallas I'm grown and do what the fuck I wanna do. If this is something that I know is gonna better me in life then I'm gonna do it." I say as I continued to look up schools

"Oh really? Try looking some up after this." He says as he grabbed my computer and threw it against the wall and it shattered

"Have you lost your fucking Dallas!" I say as tears begin to form in my eyes

"You're fucking right I have! You feel like you always wanna do what Jaleesa wanna do. You always wanna do shit and not run it by me. I'm gonna have to you show better than I can tell you bitch!" He says as he balled up his fist and walked up on me

"You what Dallas I think it's best I leave for tonight because I just need to be alone right now." I say as I tried to walk past him but he grabbed me by my arm

"So now you wanna leave me?! Is that what you wanna do? You must not know. To leave me you have two choices. You leave in a body bag or I'll make sure that every job you try to get you won't be able to because of the power I hold."he says as his gripped tighten on my arm and he looked me in the eyes "Now what will you choose?"

"Neither." I say in a whisper and looking down

"Speak the fuck up!"he says as I jumped a little

"Neither."

"That a girl. Now go get the broom and clean this shit up!"

"Oh and Jaleesa if I ever hear you talk about some school shit again it's not gonna be pretty." He says as he walked out

Yeah that's him. Abusive and manipulative. Believe it or not I've tried to leave so many times I promise. But I know Dallas. What he says he will do....he will do it. My first attempt was after Monica caught us together in Miami, and that's when he said what we had between us was nothing
