Chapter 40 blind faith

…Jenna POV…

They ask why, why does a woman stay with a man that hurts her, physically hurts her? When does one blue eye become too much? One broken lip, one too many. When does hiding the bruises become impossible? When is enough really enough?

So here I am staring at myself in the mirror, and looking back is a shadow of a woman, a woman that I used to be. Not only am I a shadow, but I have a shadow under my eye. I would like to think that it was an accident, but the truth is that this is not the first time.

He has done this before, and I know if I push him far enough that he will do it again. I get that he gets really angry, especially when he starts to drink a lot; I am sure he does not mean to be this type of an.

So I have to ask myself, why did I do it?
