The days have been long and exhausting, your daily routines filled with the constant violence of your boyfriend. He hasn’t always been like that, it was almost like a sudden switch had been flipped.
The caring and loving man you used to know had turned into a monster. Insults and shouting was the one thing, but his aggressive behavior and the beatings were the other.
No wonder you were left with nothing but bruises.
It took a long while until the neighbors finally noticed the constant loud noises and your bruised appearance and the police was called to take him away.
As he found out he lost every last bit of control and deeply hurt you by throwing a glass bottle against your head.
Ever since then you had spent a few days in the hospital, slowly coming down from the shock and recovering from the months of bruising.
The door to the small room opened and a familiar face appeared, the small smile of the male nurse shining as bright as ever.
„You awake, chica?“
He asked, approaching you carefully and looking over the bandage on your head, before placing the plain looking hospital lunch down.
