ROSE: It's two days from my five year anniversary but i am unhappy have been for about three years i find wanting to leave but afraid to do since a year has passed since i told him it was over and he has still to let me leave he gilts me with every passing time into staying.
my friends are always telling me I need to get out but everytime I go to he ends up in the hospital.
my friend Keegan I grew up with has recently come back into my life after growing apart when we reached high school we meet for coffee and talked about our past and I told him I always cared for him he then told me he had thought we would always end up together after a good talk I went home and we agreed to stay in touch I started to notice more and more that I needed to get out for my health because being in a loveless relationship or an abusive relationship was not healthy.
I started seeing Keegan more and more we have even fooled around but never had sex he makes me feel like I'm alive again something I have not felt in many many years.
one day my spouse went on a business trip and I spent my time with Keegan we had fun and I realized it was time I need to leave.
when my spouse can back I told him we needed to talk and he agreed I told him I wasnt happy that I hadn't been happy in a long time and that when I told him a year ago that it was over and he ignored me I shouldnt have stayed then he immediately started making all these promises and started crying again i felt bad and told him he needed to see someone he agreed but i had my doubts as he promised this a year ago.
it's now been over a month and he has yet to see anyone and his temper just keeps getting worse he is yelling all the time hitting things calling me names and I just sit back and take it.
Keegan has been wonderful he talkes to me tells me I am beautiful and that I deserve better and that I need to get out before something bad happens and if he ever lays a hand on me he will beat him .
about 6 months later he finds out that i have been talking to another man and when I get home he is drunk and angry and when I tell him I want to leave he beats me and I black out.
KEEGAN: I went to Rose's house after she told me she was going to tell him he wanted to leave I had the police a company me after she hadn't responded for twelve hours.
when we arrived at her house the door was wide open and she was laying I the middle of the room in a pool of her own blood the police called an ambulance and we took her to the hospital I sat with her while the doctors did there examination.
when they came out to talk to me they had information me she was lucky to be alive but was in a coma due to her brain being swollen they said they were not sure how long she would be in the coma and that I could go in to see her.
I sat by her side every day held her hand and talked to her told her what was happening told her she should wake up.
It has been three weeks and I am heading back to the hospital to see Rose and hape that today is the day she wakes up.
It is eight am when I arrive at the hospital and the nurse stops me before I can go into her room letting me know the doctor would like to talk to me in his office she takes me to the doctor's office and I knock on the door he opens is and says come and sit please.
While I am sitting there he tells me he has an update on my condition I start to worry something bad happened since I was here last night at eleven pm he then proceeds to tell me that Rose has woken up, I swear my heart stopped for a moment.
I get up to go see her the doctor let's me know the lights need to stay dim as her head still hurts and that she can not remember what happend to cause her to be in the hospital and they want her to remember on her own so I am not to say anything about what I know of the assault.
I walk into the room and my eyes meet hers right away and she suddenly has a large smile on her face and I walk to her and embrace her in my arms she starts to cry.
