The following morning I had to go back home. I had butterflies in my stomach when Roman kissed me.
        3 years later (Why do I always do time skip)
I am do laundry and I find a not in Drew's Jacket.
*******************************Thanks for the sexy clothes.      *
*When will you break up with   * *Ashley. I hate sharing my man,* *especially not with my 'friend' *   *                     Your love, Kattie     * 
******************************
So he is cheating on me, again, with my friend. I go over to one of my real friends. Becky is not around so I go over to Roman I'm tears and he already could tell that something was wrong.
Ro: First take a breather. Relax and then tell me what happened.
Char:Drew is cheating on me again with Kattie.
Ro: I'm sorry Ashley. You have to confront him. You can't keep getting hurt.
Char:Thanks
After a while I go back home, calm. To my surprise Drew was home.

Char:Drew I need to talk to you.
Drew: What do you want?
Drew:I found a note in your jacket when I was doing the laundry. Why didn't you break up with me like your side chick said. You choose to hurt -
Drew:How dare you go through my private notes? And now you are confronting-
Char:You know what, you don't need to break up with me. I am done with you. *Throwing the ring in his face *
He gets angry and punched me. He beats me up so bad I could barely stand. Kiera my 13 year old daughter walks in.
Kiera:Mom, are you okay?
My child seing me like this made me feel worse. She calls Becky.
Kiera:Hey aunt, please come over.
Becky:Are you crying?
Kiera:Yes but please hurry.
Becky: I'm coming.
Less than two minutes she was here with Joe but Drew did not stop beating me. Roman pushed Drew aside then took me to the car. Becky got some of my things and Kiera came with us.

They took care of me and helped me get into comfy clothes. That night I actually had a good sleep.

Ro: Morning
Char:Hey Joe and Becky.
Kiera decides to use the bus today.

Becky:So what is the way forward.
Char:As in?
Becky:What is the plan after what happened yesterday?
Char: Divorce him and confront Kattie.
Ro:And the kids?
Char:I am taking my kids. Kiera doesn't want to see him. He can't raise Elsa. John has always been a daddy's boy so may be the only problem.
Becky:Fair enough
Char:How is Seth?
Becky:Good. Are you planning on  dating again?
Char:Yes, I'll see how it goes.
Ro:One word to describe you, amazing.
Char: That is coz I have amazing friends.
Becky: Let's go get Elsa.

Char:Drew I came to get Elsa. Don't worry the next time you see me here it will be for you to sign divorce papers.

Ro: You are taking your first break up easy.
Becky:This is your first break up, how?
Char:I met Drew when I was 15, dated when I was 16,got married when I was 19. That is how
Becky:You noticed the sarcastism.
Char:Darr. Joe, is everything ok. Lately you have been distant.
Ro: Yeah, I'm fine.
Becky:That is not true.
Ro:It is. I have to go train.

Char:I don't need to be a genius to know that there is something wrong and he doesn't want to talk about it.
Becky:He will tell us eventually
