I think I saved her life

Thursday night, I heard commotion outside my door and looked in the peak hole. I watched her get punched in the face multiple times and it was scary. He was hitting her as if he was at a bar getting into a fist fight with a man. I called the police but when they arrived I did crack my door and told them what I saw. I wanted to make sure he didn’t try to spin it around, I have experience with that kind of thing and she’s a POC. I didn’t want anything to happen to her.

She kept repeating that nobody hit anyone but they arrested him. I’m sure she was afraid of the repercussions and it was a risk but he got evicted, our apartment has a strict rule with DV, and I even got a temporary no contact order with him in the mail.

I overheard her say that she’s finally free. I plan on getting her a gift card once I go back to work. It broke my heart. I have PTSD from my childhood and abusive relationships; I’ve been out of an abusive relationship for 4 years now so I get it. They always weasel their way back in. My anxiety has been crazy high and it disrupted my sleep but it was worth it. Plus I have time to recover. I injured my foot 2 weeks ago so I’m off.

I’m not sure if the flair was the right one but I needed to get this off my chest.
