Feeling safe and wanted again – Chapter 21
“Tina, hi.” The visitor says.
“Erin? What are you doing here?” Tina asks the woman.
“I heard about what happened and I wanted to make sure you were okay, that Evan was okay.” Erin says.
“We’re both okay. Come in, take a seat.” Tina says as she opens the door wider so Erin can enter the house. She sees the mess and the bags and everything.
“Are you moving?” Erin asks.
“Yeah. I can’t stay here any longer. To many bad memories.” Tina replies.
“I can imagine. Where are you moving?” Erin asks.
“Nashville.” Tina replies.
“Nashville? Why are you moving there? That’s so far away.” Erin asks.
“I know it’s far away, that is partly the point. And I’ve met someone, a friend, and she’s living there, so I’m going with her. I already have an apartment up there so.” Tina says, looking down on her hands, a little nervous.
“I bet it is a shock that I’m here, isn’t it?” Erin asks.
“Yeah, a little. I haven’t seen you in three years.” Tina replies.
“I know. I just had to get away. But I am sorry for leaving you here. I knew something was going on, I just didn’t have the guts to do anything about it.” Erin says.
“Well, that makes two of us then. I didn’t either. It was my new friend who got me out.” Tina says.
“So, where is this friend of yours, I’d like to meet her.” Erin says, looking around.
“She’s out getting some cardboard boxes to put everything in. She’ll be back here soon.” Tina says.
“Oh good. Tina can I ask you what happened to you? I see you still have some bruises and your limp. Did he do that to you?” Erin asks softly.
“Yeah. It was his final sendoff I guess. Knocked me out completely, broke several bones in my body, arm, ribs and the hip bone has a fracture. The nose he managed to break the week before, when he was arrested the first time. He somehow managed to get away from the police officers and took a hard swing at me.” Tina says.
“I hate him. He stopped being my brother a long time ago. You know in a way, this is all he knows. You know our father was the same way towards our mother. He also beat Eric and me a few times, at least that I know of. Eric changed in junior high. I tried talking to him but, he wouldn’t talk to me. And then when he met you a few years later, he seemed back to his old self. He was a happy boy again. But I guess the daemons got the best of him a little later.” Erin says.

Oh please, update soon!! Love this story…it’s weekend, you don’t need to go outside and soak in the sun…just take your laptop and write..pretty please;)))
Tina is slowing getting stronger and figuring out what she wants. Thanks for the update!
i don’t think tina should go and see eric… he gave up that right as a father… he is nothing to that baby now… and tina should never tell him what eric did… and lets hope erin doesn’t say to much to eric… because what the others have said… he won’t give up and he will go after her… even if its 10 years later… great chapter… pps
2 excellent updates. I’m a little worried that Tina wants to go see Eric. I don’t think she strong enough and I hope Bette goes with her. Thank you.
I will just say that I share the sentiment of the other comments.
Not sure if Tina should visit eric yet, maybe some years down the road.
I think it is not a good idea to visit Eric.Tin is not strong enough.Thank you for the update.
I wondered if eric had been abused as a child, abused children usually become abusive adults. Still I don’t think Tina should have told her where they are going or with whom. She might let it slip unintentionally and give that bastard a heads up to where to look for her when he gets out. And he probbably will. Abusers never give up and he will have 9 yrs. to make up for. Great post. Thanks for posting.
stories regarding abusive is always so hard..cause you have the adult that either hitting a spouse or child and society always tends hate toward that person …but somewhere in the history 80% of the time they were once subjects of abuse. It has to be stopped at the root….Erin comments however were true at some point either that person had to make a decision to take one path or another in life. Its always amazing to see two people with the same type of history of abuse journey down two very different roads. What makes one stronger than the other??
Big mistake Tina….mow Eric will know where she is…… PPS!
Tina needs to cut all ties w/ eric. Going to visit him one more time will either piss him off more or give him hope that he and tina are still connected some how/ thanks for the update…enjoy the weekend!
