LAYLA

It was already past Subh prayer but the sun hasn't risen yet. 


I went into the bathroom, and allowed the water to wash away all of yesterday's event from my body. 


After my morning routine, I went downstairs to make breakfast, I didn't cook yesterday because I was discharged yesterday and I AM angry with Zayyad. 


There's no way I'm letting what he did slide just like that. 


He strangled me to the point where I passed out!!! That is just horrible. 


I just hope he doesn't get more violent in the future when he gets angry and even hit me because then I'll make his life a living hell. He's lucky I didn't tell either of our parents about what he did. 


After preparing breakfast I ate mine and left he's in the microwave, then I pasted a note on the fridge saying he can eat if he wants, and then I headed back to my room to get dressed.
