Diamond in the Rough

Part 2

        I get home after dropping Darion off at daycare. I walked in and began to prepare myself for what would come next. I saw Damion run downstairs with a cold expression on his face. I tried to walk past him to the kitchen but he grabbed my arm and brought me closer to him.
        He quickly slammed my body against the wall and wrapped his hands around my neck. "Where the hell were you?" He asked in a deep voice that made my body quiver. "I..had..to..take....Darion to day..care." I said grasping for air. He took his hands away from my neck and slapped me. I felt my cheek began to throb. He looked down at his hands and made a fist and I already knew what that meant. I tried to back away from him but ran into the door. He ran up to me and pushed me on the ground. He punched me, kicked me, slapped me, spit on me, and told me I was worthless.
        I woke up from a deep sleep and realized I was late for work (I'm an event planner). I quickly got up and got dressed. I ran to the bathroom for my makeup to cover the black eye. I tried to put the makeup on but it burned my eye everytime. I gave up and put on shades instead hoping that would cover it up. I got my keys went to the car and prayed that the rest of my day would go well.
