Why Didn't I Think of That?!

The phone rang and I woke up a little bit stumbling toward the receiver, and I answered the phone. Who is this? They said, this is your workers from your program, your mental health program. And I said, oh okay, I just woke up, I was trying to remember my dream, but it was something about like me moving or something out of here and they're like, oh did you want to move out? We can help you with that. And they said, but the reason for our call was we think you should graduate into the next level, stage of housing. Which is into an apartment of your own where you'll feel more comfortable without the people bothering you that you were complaining about around your town and neighborhood, we have somewhere out past the Massachusetts border. Actually, our scope has widened. And we're actually funding people's housing even out-of-state now and I said, wow, how do I do this without my boyfriend finding out and trying to stop me, he's very clingy and possessive, and they said, don't worry, we we can take care of that. We will do everything very low-key. And then on the day that he's at work We'll just come over and get your stuff. You just have to pack your stuff and hide it in the closet, I said, okay, so I silently, quietly started putting things in boxes and then who calls but my boyfriend and I said, hello. Steve, what's going on? And he said, well, I have to ask you to walk the dog, please and I said, okay, I'll be right down so I finished up my little bit of packing and then put stuff in the closet and covered it with a blanket and then went downstairs and then he was down there practically walking the dog himself cause I took too long. He said the dog had to go. What what took you so long? And I said, oh I was just finishing up stuff, some things on my computer, and then I started to feel really guilty and bad, even though it was worse to stay. So I decided to keep my momentum up in the move. And then so he said, okay, I'll walk the dog, he handed the leash over to me do you want to walk her and I did. And then afterward, he went in and I went upstairs and I cleaned up the poop and then made sure the dog was fed in his apartment and then I said, okay, I just got some more work to do with my business. I had an art business. So he said, okay, and he went back to his video game playing games on his computer in his apartment, we lived in the same building in separate apartments. And another girl lived in the same building too in her apartment. And there was a store downstairs from me. I lived in the top front floor so in the next few weeks, I privately, secretly talked to my workers at the program and they said they had a place out in the country, past the Massachusetts border, and I said, good that's near my sister anyway, so 1 day my stuff was packed and they said we're ready for you and I said, okay, and so I just he was away at work, my boyfriend so I just took off and I never told him where I was and I changed my number because I was being hurt too much and told to do things I didn't want to do so. I just ran away basically and I never looked back. And now I have like a new community around this house where the neighbors are very friendly and I get to talk to more animals and be more of an animal keeper, it's like a little bit of a farmland but we grow fruits and vegetables and we have little markets. And I took part in that and then I'm a little bit copying my sister by being out here but I try to keep to myself and let her live her life, but she is a little bit stoked and excited that I'm out here because I think she wanted someone to be more keeping her company but I only go over there. She comes picks me up sometimes. When she calls me but is not alone.She see she has to do her own thing, so other than that, I just started doing things around in my community, and it's very like I'm alone out here, so I took up more online things, and I have Wi-Fi and a service. It's just that nobody knows where I am from my old life. My program told me they'd keep it quiet. And as according to my wishes, so I'm very happy and I've left my own my old life behind. And I feel like I can build for the future and live out the rest of my years happily, they have good healthcare place here, and so I feel like I'm in retirement and What's apologies in my prayers toward my boyfriend?But I don't want to deal with that type of life anymore.So that's my new life , the end.

Epilogue: I heard from news from Afar that my boyfriend was looking for me and I let him be, and it soon faded, and I never heard from him again and I just recollected, I actually wrote a book about the whole experience. I'm a writer too, and I named it. Duped Again, and it had every little ins and outs and details of our relationship, which was crazy, and I felt like shell-shocked the whole time I was with him. And finally, I had my peace, I was at peace, I could enjoy myself on my own. I had energy. My energy wasn't stolen from me every day and I wasn't yelled at for things that were not my fault or my concern, and I wasn't treated harshly, etc, so I'm not saying anyone's to blame or anyone's bad; people are who they are. Everyone's innocent. I believe, but I just maybe it was our chemistry and I hope he can be happy and maybe he feels free without me there too.
