was a broken wreck of a woman, timid and petrified of my high school sweetheart.
Kace and I were inseparable during our college years, and he couldn’t see past me. I loved him deeply. Our friends weren’t so lucky. Ruby had split with her long term boyfriend, Dylan, the last year of college when Dylan’s band got signed and he was caught on camera having more than one clandestine relationship.
Julie and Brody were still a couple, but Julie wasn’t happy, Brody was living a very single guy’s lifestyle, in that he golfed, played football and baseball, and always seemed to be taking road trips with his football buddies.
Kace and I were a popular couple, and we had our little friendship group of the three couples and as a couple we were inseparable except when he had to go off on science trips as part of his degree, and when he took a summer job working in a recording studio in Sacramento.
Graduating summa cum laude, Kace and I had naturally progressed to moving in together straight after college ended and he proposed to me at our graduation party. It came as a bit of a shock because I still felt too young to get married.
I loved Kace with all my heart; and at that time, I couldn’t imagine my world without him in it, so I said yes. Refusing to get married straight away, we had moved back to Florida and I had opted for a long engagement. Mainly because I knew I wanted to do visual imagery for large productions and to work on either film or live events.
This was the only thing that Kace and I disagreed on, because realizing that dream may have meant moving state to make it happen. As fortune would have it, we had a pretty big venue for music events less than twenty minutes from where we lived, and I managed to land a job as a digital image designer for them.
The buzz of working in a concert venue and the bustling pace of live performances had me in my element. I had loved being a part of that scene.
Most of the bands that played there had their own set production teams, but occasionally there were some that were more about their music than the technical stuff so that’s where we kicked in and even if I do say so myself, I was pretty good at the visual stuff.
Kace was happy for me at first, but with the unsocial hours of a career such as that, it wasn’t long before he began to get pretty fed up with me not being around when he finished work. Being a much sought after sound engineer in a recording studio, Kace he didn’t exactly keep regular hours either.
So what started as bickering slowly became emotionally charged, heated exchanges between us, to the point where I constantly dreaded the subject of work coming up, because after a few months there was always conflict around me having the career I had studied hard for. I don’t even know when it happened, but Kace became more and more dismissive and depreciative of me.
Arguments about my work gradually became personal attacks about me as a partner and eventually about not being the woman I should be in his eyes. Eventually, Kace had chipped away at my self- esteem so much that he eroded my confidence in my own abilities, either in my work, or as someone worthy of a guy like him.
Becoming controlling and angry, Kace grabbed me by the throat one night and told me he was glad he hadn’t married me, but still expected me to be a loving partner and have sex with him whenever he decided to be intimate with me.
Our whole relationship shifted again when he stopped coming home at the usual time saying he had to stay late at work, until eventually, he was just blatant about going for drinks with the guys and girls he worked with at the recording studios.
So the mental abuse continued, but the physical violence was a slow burner. However, two months later it happened again. Kace came home drunk one night and forced himself on me when I refused to have sex with him.
Extremely aggressive towards me, Kace seemed to develop an intolerance of anything to do with me and
