Hey I'm Korra, I'm 21 years old. I live in Australia well ... born here practically. I live with my boyfriend named Zach Harris. Well ... he lives with me. We both have jobs, and a car. He's weird.

My parents love me to death and I have two older siblings. Kasey (Ka-See), Jake and well me. Kasey and Jake are the best I could have ever asked for.

My boyfriends parents told me that if Zach ever starts being abusive was to leave him immediately. Or abandon everything and then call the police. He was dangerous... I didn't know what that meant so I brushed it off.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned to months. Months turned into a year, then two, then three. We started dating when I was 18 turning 19 years old. Yeah, I should have my whole life figured out right? I graduated at 17 years old. Went to college a few months after then I graduated at 20 turning 21. I work a photography job for Fashion. So sometimes I fly all over the world to do photos for people. Weird huh? I guess. I've done it since I was ten years old.

My other side job from photography is being a cook at a café. I learned how to do two different things and still make everything work out perfect.

Yet, my boyfriend caused things to change. Everytime I left the house and came back. He'd yell at me, swear. I ignored it. Until I started getting slapped in the face or punched on the shoulder.

I never said anything because I just avoided it. He would act nice after the incident and then it would keep happening. Only worse, kicked in the stomach, he'd force me to have sex. He'd also tie me to the bed and do whatever he pleases without my consent.

Then weeks would go by and he would act like it never happened. I still ignore it. Act like it's not a thing. So now this is where I stand. At the mall looking for some clothes.

I was looking for some hoodies in the guy section hoping there would be some really cool ones. Or designer ones. When I kept walking not watching where I was going. I literally bump into someone.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry," I respond looking at him. Backing away from him.

"Hey, it's okay. Just an accident, it happens," he looks down at me.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going, I'm sorry, aahh I'm sorry," I respond feeling really guilty.

"It's okay, relax. You didn't mean it," He said resting his hands on my arms until I stopped talking. His hands fell to his sides as I studied this gorgeous man. His blue eyes met with my hazel ones. He had braces and had really good hair. When I put my hands up hoping he wouldn't do anything.

He grabbed my hand and looked at the bruises on my wrists, "Is Someone hurting you?" He asked.

"No why?" I sound oblivious to it. Not wanting to tell him anything. Knowing what I would get into or have to go through.

"It doesn't matter," I reply, he let go of my hands. I began walking away from him.

"Yes it does. I may not know you but a woman shouldn't be getting hurt-"

I cut him off, "I'm fine." He sighed then grabbed his phone. Taking pictures of my wrist. He put his phone away.

"I may not know you but I'd like to know that you're safe," He seems kind and so genuine. I just ... after Zach I don't trust it. How can I trust him?

"Whats your name?" I asked him.

"Caleb." I mumble it a couple time just so I can keep it in my mind.

"Nice to meet you, Caleb. I'm Korra," we shook hands then he smiled again. His smile was adorable and he was much taller than I.

"Well ... I got to go ... I'll see you around," I say leaving the store not buying anything. I continue to walk around. The mall hoping it was all a Dream.
