Maybe to get out of this house Oppression is a living and breathing thing when I’ve only been allowed to leave for class School and straight home I haven’t been allowed to stay in the library to study, and study groups are out of the question Who cares ifa career woman isn’t in the cards for me Not when I have…him to take care of me

Love me Dote on me Fuck me

Fuck me over

A slow blink and the world slowly starts filtering in The buzzing indown But the nu my insides It will never peel away

My feet are leading

I need out

I need out

I need out

I need out

Right as I lift my hand to knock on Ryan’s office door, his voice filters through He sounds excited Happy I’ve never heard hi

“…I fucking kneas hi… I know I can’t believe he didn’t figure it out, either… No, I’ a few et out of it… I will, rab drinks to celebrate…”

Hearing how happy Ryan sounds relaxes me and equal parts saddens me He’s hasn’t sounded that happy with es Not since the first year of our relationship, e hardly ever fought

No ood mood

“Baby?” I call as I lightly knock on the door ait He looks up froood ht he’d still be happy but work ht Apparently, he’s been dealing with a difficult client the past few days He doesn’t talk about ithto soot stuck with a tweaker who can’t shut the fuck up

His dad makes him accept one pro bono case a year, and he’s none too happy about working with a drug addict Ryan despises anyone who uses drugs
