IT WAS MID NOVEMBER OF 2016. MY HUSBAND AT THE TIME ASKED ME TO MAKE SURE HE HAD SOMETHING TO DRINK WHEN HE GOT OFF WORK. AND THAT WAS USUALLY AROUND 3:30 IN THE MORNING. BUT HE DIDNT CARE. SO I WALKED TO THE CORNER STORE. THANKFULLY THAT NIGHT MY BIG BROTHER WAS OVER AT HIS FRIENDS HOUSE. ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE STORE. FIVE GUYS TRIED PULLING ME INTO A WHITE WORK VAN. MY BROTHER HEARD ME SCREAMING FOR HELP. AND CAME RUNNING OUT. HE ENDED UP SHOOTING ALL FIVE OF THOSE GUYS. THEY TOOK HIM TO JAIL FOR SAVING MY LIFE. THEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE SAME THING HAPPEND TO ME AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME TWO GUYS IN A GREEN CAMERO STOPPED THEM. THE TALLEST ONE OUT OF THE 2 GRABBED ME FROM THE BACK OF THE VAN, CARRIED ME IN HIS ARMS, AND PUT ME IN THE BACK OF HIS CAR. HE TOLD HIS FRIEND TO DRIVE SO HE COULD SIT IN THE BACK WITH ME. HE HELD ME PRETTY TIGHT IN HIS ARMS TELLING ME EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT I WAS SAFE. HE HAD HIS FRIEND DRIVE AROUND UNTIL MY EX GOT HOME FROM WORK. ONCE THEY KNEW HE WAS HOME THEY DROPPED ME OFF. THEN LAST YEAR THE MAN WHO SAVED ME AND I RAN INTO ONE ANOTHER AGAIN. AND WE HAVE BEEN GLUED TO ONE ANOTHER EVER SINCE.
