The breakup Last night we were at bronco billy's for thursday night karaoke. Anita and I were playing partners in pool while waiting for our names to be called up to sing. Her cell phone goes off. I picked it up and it said there was one text message. Now she's always telling to look at the message and then tell her what it says. So after I told her she said, "you know what to do, go ahead and tell me what it says".
I picked it up, looked at the message and it said. "When are you going to tell your boyfriend we're getting back together again"?
That sure wasn't the message I wanted to see, and really, would I have ever seen it had she not told me to check it for her? I took acouple deep breaths and then after the game I showed it to her and said, "you wanna explain this"? She got another message stating that he was coming to the bar to see her.
Now her friends had no idea she was talking to the ex thru text messages. I knew how this guy has beaten her. Cracked her ribs, swollen her eye shut, they even had restraining orders on each other, so...why in the fuck would she even consider going back to that? She knew she was busted and she's going , ah..um..ah..". and I just said, "get honest". before she could say anything I just said, "is it true"? She nodded her head yes and I handed her phone to her. I started getting my stuff together (Jacket, riding gloves as I took the motorcycle out last night, roads were in good shape).I was just getting ready to leave.
She tried to explain it but what's really to explain? She's going back with a guy who beats her. I told her, "I don't chase anyone and I don't fight for anyone. I won't beg and plead since I've seen this same story too many times". I told her if she likes being a walking punching bag then have at it, just don't call me when he slaps you around again.
The ex came in as I was turning to leave. I walked past him and then he said something, "That's right, you better walk away". Needless to say I turned right back around and got in his face. friends were trying to keep it from going to another level. I looked at the guy and said, "Anytime you want to come outside, you and I can take it up out there, so either man up, or shut up". There was a long stare and he backed down. I added "Just as I thought, women beaters are usually the biggest wimps when they're confronted by a man". he didn't say a word and just kept backing away.
My friends and her friends (along with one of the bar staff) were wondering if I was gonna go after him. I said no, I made my point. I then looked at Anita and said, "enjoy yourself" and walked out.
Her best friend and another friend of hers came out after me and apologized for what she did, they had no idea this was gonna happen. I just said it's all comes back to her own actions which dictated her own fate.
my friends left with me and after I got the motorcycle started we all agreed to meet back at the chalet. I for the first time smoked the tires on the bike, thru the lot and out onto highway 13. I stayed at the chalet until closing.
Anita deleted her friends only journal she had on blurty. all the words she had said about me, her feelings, etc. all deleted. Boy doesn't this seem very familiar. First debbie did it and now anita. I guess there isn't many women who can actually keep their word. I seem to find the liars who either can't keep their word, or can't(or won't )stay faithful so it comes back to an old song by areosmith, "same ol, same ol song and dance".Different women, same shit. Can't stay loyal, can't keep their word
Needless to say I won't be changing what I do, I'll be at the showboat tonite for karaoke. I was going there before I met her and I'm still going to keep going there. I chase nobody and if she chooses to be a punching bag, I hope she enjoys the punches. She works at a hospital so I guess she can mend herself when he beats her again.
