     I am Adam September, I’m 18, currently in college, and I live in an apartment with my girlfriend. Her name is Alice Destin, and I love her with all my heart, like I can’t live without her. I pay attention to everything she says, and I love everything about her. But… If there was one thing I didn’t like about her…

SLAP!

     “YOU’RE PATHETIC!”

     “W-wait, but I.. I love y-“

SLAP!

     “YOU’RE FEELINGS ARE IRRELEVANT TO ME, BITCH!”

     Like I was saying, if there was one thing I didn’t like about her, she’s abusive, and any possible way. It doesn’t matter if it’s emotional, physical, or sexual. 

     That night, I ended up with two hand marks, a bandage on my right eye, a fractured leg and no sleep. Although, it's nothing new, we’ve been dating for a few months, almost a year. It just got worse day by day since we started college.

     But, that’s not what we need to focus on right now, more importantly, no one has seen me in weeks… As a child, I was also abused emotionally and physically. It lasted until high school when they got into a car crash at 12:35 in the afternoon while I was at school.

     I thought that I could finally leave the abuse behind after they died, until I started loving Alice, she was pretty, smart, and [In the public] she was kind, but [In private] she was still abusive. But I couldn’t bring myself to stop loving her, driven by having no love at all. Even though she abused me, she gave me a sense of comfort. 

     But, look, if you’re reading this… 

I killed myself.
