She’s trying to move on, but the past won’t let her go. I fell in love once. It was a big mistake, but the biggest mistake of all was staying with him. He pushed me around. He cheated and treated me like trash. I don’t feel sorry for myself, because I let him. But no more. I moved out. I’m saving my stripper’s salary for an education that will get me somewhere better. But breaking the chains of a shitty past isn’t easy. He says I owe him. He says we aren’t done. I don’t care what he says anymore. I do care about Adam. But my history tells me I’m not the best judge of men. And the fact Adam’s been married four times tells me he probably isn’t a safe choice. I need safe. I need better. I need out. If the past is any indication of my future, getting out isn’t going to be easy.
