5.7 Jomeo

Warning: Abuse in this chapter

1999

Dear Diary I'm really confused about everything that has been happening in the last two days.   I should start at the beginning 

Yesterday Mom took Hailey and I to a Café.  She told us, from then on,  we have to obey Reg, and to refer to him as "You're Grace" and we have to drop out of school, and learn to "be Lady-like" And all of these instructions, also means that we have to change our look as well, and to even bow to Reg.  I wasn't allowed to make jokes anymore even if my dream was to be a comedian.

 

The next day we had to bow to Reg and call him "Your Grace",  Mom for some reason kowtowed to him unlike the royal curtsey that Hailey and I did.   Then we went to  a Beauty salon, and had our hair done, got some new clothes, and some new make-up 

Somehow there was a problem with either my make-up or with my nail polish so I was leaving really late from the Beauty Salon after Mom and Hailey left.  I was in a really hurry to get a bus home (I know, I know, not lady-like),  and I ran into and crashed into Romeo! After he helped me back up he said, he was trying to get away from his dad and was picking up some make-up for his twin sister Kristie.    When he hugged me, he told me to meet me in the Ancient Ruins in our town. 

His Grace, yelled at my Mom for running her good clothes with gardening and that they'll need to hire a gardener for Mom's garden.     Then Mom, Hailey and I made supper.  We made BLTs but not only did His Grace, yelled at Mom for letting us make "unhealthy, and unladylike food"  but literally chocked and slapped her in front of us.  

That night I went and met Romeo in the Ancient Ruins. I knew from heresy that my great-grandparents Hannah and Jacob met here frequently when they're dating in secret much like what Romeo and I are doing.    I started complaining  about what a wicked step-father that Reg turned out to be and it was only a matter of time that either, Reg would become abusive to me and Hailey and/or to marry us off and attempt to have a son to inherited the Swanson Estate under HIS name and not Mom/ours.  We then had this idea that in a couple of days time to have Hailey meet Romeo here, and say I will meet him at Anneorine's  temple in Willow Creek and we'll take it from there. 

After that Romeo cheered me up by showing me parts of a dance he had to learn as the Dauphin. Which some part of me somehow knew. We then lit a flying lantern and then let it go. I think my great grandparents did the same thing when they're our age.  We now have officially started dating 

I then snuck back into the house and Hailey demanded to know where  I was and she had been covering for me.  She claimed to Mom and "his Grace" that I was at my last school event that I had paid for before "HIs Grace" had me and Hailey to drop out of school. And "His Grace believed her."  I then told her "Hey you rememebr last year when you knocked on our shared door?"  Hailey said "Yes I do, What about it?"   I said "Well, I had actually be taking to someone."   Hailey then asked "Whom is it?"  I said "The Dauphin Romeo. We been secretly dating since that night." I then mentioned "I told Romeo about our problems and what we think that you-know-whom might try to do to us. And I told him, that in a couple of nights, you will meet up with him, and tell him to meet me at the Anneorine temple"  I then finished and said "Thanks for covering me"   

The next morning Mom Hailey and I started making a Grand Breakfast for breakfast of pancakes and something else.  But "His Grace" hated the high fat content of the breakfast and yelled at Mom again.   I then practiced piano for a bit  

Then "his Grace" tried to teach Hailey and I have to do actually ballroom dancing with our male cousins Jude's and Reed's help  bur the boys kept messing up the steps that "His Grace" was trying to show us.  He dismissed the boys, and told us to "Stop fooling around" like it was OUR fault for the boys' "messing up" when they're the ones fooling around not us.  And I even told "His Grace" that to his face, and he didn't want to listen to me and said "Women should be seen and not heard" and once he got us married off,  we have to obey our husbands.   And he then reveled there's going to be an engagement ball for me in a couple of nights' time.  To someone I haven't even met yet.  He has already picked out a husband of HIS choosing for me. 

Both Hailey and I were shocked by this news, and we talked about maybe moving up the meeting of Romeo to inform him about the upcoming problem.  Hailey said "we shouldn't do that, and keep to the plan mostly, but tomorrow she will meet Romeo and give an invitation to "His Grace" ball for me. 

5.6 WHAT HAVE I DONE?

WARNING THUNDER ANIMATION WITH A PICTURE DOWN BELOW! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN CAUTION! 
________________________________________________________________________

Dear diary, I'm so upset. I wondering WHAT HAVE i DONE? I ended up marrying an aggressive man. I mean he started off real sweet man during her courting and at wedding. Let's start at the  beginning

On the first night as a married couple we decided to skip a honeymoon-. Reg starting making outrageous demands.  First thing he said "Things are going to change around here. One, you quit your job, two, the girls quit school, and learn how to be an actually lady how are they going to get good husbands looking like they do now?!, three, you put this house in MY name. and four you will make me the Duke and we have a boy together ."  I said "No, I can not make you the, duke 1)that will create the wrong impression that this is YOUR family legacy not MY family's and also making you the duke will make people think you're inheirted the title when you didn't, 2)I will not quit a job, I love, 3)and the girls needing schooling to get them a good job in life..I don't want them to end up teenager mother like I was. 4)I will not make the house in your name."  

So we argued a bit more about it and then he got so angry he punched me in the face.  

The next day Juliet and Hailey decided to make breakfast for family before they want to school and I went to work.  When they went to great me that morning they got a very big shocked. I apperently had a black eye from Reg's pushing me the previous night.  Reg was in a terrible mood at breakfast. He didn't say anything but a few swear words 

On the Saturday, I still had a black eye and my twin sister Cora and our Cousin Queen Regent Esmerlda Landgrabbie  told me, I should get rid of Reg. I refused too.  And I didn't stay to long because Reg insisted I come back home and make lunch for him.  After a demoralizing lunch (he wouldn't even let me eat until he was done!)  he did a little dance with me in the kitchen.  How nice is that?

That night we had another fight about the same thing and he started choking me. But a couple of days later he took me out on a picnic. That's so nice right? 

A couple of nights later we had another fight and he forced me to the floor before he punched me.  I was really weak on the floor after that I had this poential day-mare

I had this  flash of a medium-dark skin adult man with green clothing. I couldn't see anything else do the thunder around him it looked like he was having a vision maybe?  and then I got these flashes of a potential future of both me, but of my daughters if i kept up being this strong or technically this weak

The flashes were in strips of short, the first three was of me fallng down the stairs, and the girls finding me injuried  on the floor.  Juliet tries to give me  CPR.

   The 2nd set of three is of me on a stretcher, one going into an ambulance with paramedics, and Juliet crying in the said ambulance,  still on a stretcher but with nurses, and then with Juliet and Hailey visiting me in a coma, hoping I will wake up 

The third set of three I got of potential future was I potentially died, and the girls said goodbye to me, at the hosptial, and then Hailey carried a weak Juliet out of the room, and then the girls said their final goodbyes to me at the funeral 

the fourth set of pictures (which was a set of four) , is that Reg not only married the girls, but brought two other "sisters" he had in far off country  and built this huge castle on my family's land, and forced all the girls to learn basically harem clothing.  Two of the "sisters" got into trouble for going shopping wearing "inappropriate" clothing so they got put to work hand washing laundry in the house.  The next time they want out, they seem to be like my Aunt Rain*, before Aunt Rain before here with her family to be modestly covered especially the head when they want out. Ie in these sisters' cases niqab  

The last set of pictures als of four, was of Reg, woohooing  with Hailey, Hailey getting pregnant, and Juliet, giving her poison, because it was better she was dead, then to survive the agony's of having their fomer-step-father-turned-husband-being-the-father-of-their-children-and-the-problems-they-will-have -with-the-other-"sisters" -if-Hailey-gave-birth-to-a-boy and then I saw what I presumed to be Hailey's funereal.  But like my funeral in a previous flash, Juliet (or I think it was Juliet-I couldn't tell because this time, all the wives were dressed modestly) but Juliet was the chief morning and presumably was allowed to wear white to the funeral, was being comfortable by one of the two remaining "sisters"

The following day, Reg was once again gone, for part of the day so Juliet made me some coffee and we talked. She asked "Mom, what are you going to do with this marriage? It's not good for you or for us." I said "I don't know what to do, if the abuse is this bad already, wouldn't it get worse if I try to seperate from him? or do what he wants?"  Juliet replied  "no matter which option you do, what if Reg starting abusing me? abusing Hailey? abusing any of our girl cousins?" 

I then went to have my little meeting with my twin and my cousin again. They also said, I should divorce Reg.   I just can't..it will just get worse no matter what I do. And it took me so long to find Reg, I don't want to go through another divorce. Reg is always saying "I will never find another person to love if  I divorced him." 

I then went home and Reg had tempory point in a desk and business chair (which once belong to my great-grandma) in our bedroom-and Reg had a glass in hands and we had a talk and I still tried to stand strong but I was starting to bend to Reg's will.  And then we did a little dance in the bedroom

The following Tuesday, I came home early, and I found Reg choking my niece, Miley. I stopped it right away and I told him that he can abuse me, but he's not to lay a single finger on any of my female relatives.   I finally gave in to his demands.
