I don’t understand how this could have happened. Yesterday we were out on a date and having a great day and now I’m standing over his body watching him slowly die.
We went out to have a few drinks last night. When he was in the bathroom his phone went off. It was another girl. I tried asking him about it and he got extremely upset. I decided I was ready to go home. The ride home was overwhelming. I had a gut feeling that he really was cheating on me. So I looked through everything. I was right. When we got home I packed all of his things and threw them out the door. He kept growing more and more mad, and I did not want him in my home any longer. But, it was starting to get scary. I was upset and just wanted him to leave. He shouldn’t have the right to be mad at me. But he did not want to leave. When I tried to get him out he shoved me. He kept pushing me and punching and kicking me. I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t strong enough for this. I thought I was about to die. I couldn’t let him win. I was screaming and crying. I look out of the corner of my eye. I see the knives right on the counter above me. It’s my only way out. I have to move quickly. I quickly got up, grabbed the knife and stabbed him. I wish there would have been another way out. But I know there wasn't. It was either going to be me or him.
Now, I’m just looking at him. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do or how to fix this. All I know is that I had to protect myself from him. The only way to do that was to unfortunately kill him.
