want to hurt Tom any more that she already had, so she lied.
    “No. I’m just not in love with you. I’m so sorry.”
    “Can we go back to the way it was before and see if things change?”
    “Tom…”
    “No, Lucy, I can’t lose you.”
    “I can’t, Tom.”
    “Lucy, I love you.”
    “I’m going to pack a bag and stay at my parent’s house until you can find somewhere else to move to.”
    Tom grabbed Lucy and kissed her. Lucy didn’t kiss him back. Tom pushed her away.
    “I hate you, Lucy. I hate you for making me love you just so that you could throw me away.”
    “I’m so sorry, Tom. I do love you but…”
    Tom smacked Lucy across the face, the force knocked her to the floor. As Lucy stood up she started yelling, “GET OUT! GET OUT!”
    Lucy ran into the bedroom and locked the door behind her. Tom started banging on the door. Lucy was so afraid he was going to break the door down and beat her up. She pulled her phone from her pocket and called her father.
    “Hello.”
    “Dad, Tom is freaking out. I broke up with him. He hit me…”
    “I will fucking kill him. Where are you?”
    “I’m locked in my room.”
    “Lucy, call 911. I’m on my way.”
    Lucy dialed 911.
    “911, what’s you emergency?”
    “My boyfriend hit me, I locked myself in my room but he is going to bang the door down and I’m afraid he is going to hurt me. Please send help.”
    “I have someone about a minute away. Stay on the phone with me. I can hear him screaming and banging on the door. You did the right thing to call for help. What is your name?”
    “Lucy Jenkins.”
    “Hi, Lucy. My name is Sheryl. So you said he hit you. Are you alright or should I send an ambulance?”
    “I’m ok, I think.”
    “Alright. Do you have anything nearby that you can use as a weapon if he should gain entry before help arrives?”
    “I have mace in my purse.”
    “Perfect. Take it out of your purse and have it ready in the event that you need to use it.”
    “Ok.”
    “What is your boyfriend’s name?”
    “Tom.”
    “You’re doing great, Lucy. I see the police should be there any second.”
    “I hear sirens, they’re here.”
    “Don’t hang up.”
    “Ok. I don’t hear Tom anymore.”
    She heard the police tell him to stop and to move away from the door.
    “Ok. Once they remove him from your home, they will let you know that it is safe to open the door.”
    “Thank you for helping me.”
    “Lucy, its Dad, open the door.”
    “My father is here. I can hang up now. Thank you.”
    “I’m happy you’re alright, Lucy.”
    “Goodbye.”
    “Goodbye.”
    Lucy ran over and pulled the door open. Her father pulled her into his waiting arms. Her brothers hugged her as well.
    “He hit me. I was so scared.”
    Jon turned around and punched the wall.
    “I’ve fucking hated him since the day I met him.”
    Lucy pulled away from her father and grabbed Jon’s hand.
    “I’m ok, now.”
    “What made him so irate?”
    “Dad, he asked me to marry him. I thought maybe I could but this morning I realized I’m not in love with him. I told him that and he hit me so hard that he knocked me to the floor. I was so scared, I just ran in here and locked the door.”
    “Jon and I are going to kick his ass, Lucy.”
    “Jake, please. Let’s just…”
    “Miss Jenkins, we will need you to come down to the station so that we can get your statement and file charges.”
    “Would it be alright if I changed first and then my father can bring me down to the station?”
    “Yes.”
    “Thank you, Officer.”
    “No problem, that’s what we’re here for.”
    “Lucy, you get dressed, your brothers and I will wait out in the living room for you.”
    “Thank you, I love you all.”

    Shane had already been to the gym twice and out for a run. He was a bundle of nervous energy. He loved to fight but the countdown to the actual fight drove him insane. He was like a small child on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa to come.
