New Jersey, 2003.

You have been with Vinny for a year and about a month, surprisingly. But it’s not like you can leave him, you’ve already tried. He didn’t want that shit and said the relationship would be over when he says it’s over. You know there isn’t much to do about that, given his ‘pimp’ or we’ll criminal lifestyle, who knows who he’ll send after you. Last time when you tried to end things he flashed his gun to you and even aimed it, mocking you as you cried.

Given the relationship, you lived with him. He rarely cleans up after himself and smokes a lot- either it’s cigarettes or weed. When he’s not home he’s at the laundromat or out with his buddies, and only god knows what he’s doing while he’s with his ‘friends’.

It’s around night and he’s already texted you earlier he won’t be back until later, so currently you’ve got the whole house to yourself.
