I hurriedly walked up to our new apartment in a lush condo building located
right in front of the Williamsburg waterfront. The mid-April spring brought a
slight chill as I walked up the steps into the lobby. The views from our place
were amazing—from our living room, you could see the Williamsburg Bridge
and the Manhattan skyline. It was only eight or nine blocks from mine and
Billie’s apartment, but it felt like I was a thousand miles away. I hadn’t seen or
talked to her in six weeks, not since the night I left Michael alone in that hotel
in Jersey City. My life had changed drastically since then. I had talked to Emily
only a handful of times, mostly to convince her that I was okay, that I had left
with Jack willingly, and that I was really fucking happy living my new life as
Mrs. Jack Maynor.

And that was mostly true.
I was okay. I was pretty happy, considering the circumstances that led me
to this. I did not leave Michael willingly, but I had to pretend I did. That was
the only way I could accept that I would never see him again. I pretended it
was my decision—that I had to let him go. Now he could move on and live a
happier life with a level-headed person that wouldn’t always have a violent
homicidal maniac hunting them down.
Of course, Jack wasn’t that way all the time. He had been a loving and
caring husband in the previous six weeks. He let me pick out our place. He
brought home flowers and took me on romantic dates. He continually
supported my creative ideas, gave me massages while we watched cheesy
movies, and made me feel like the most important and special person in the
world. He gave me the freedom to wander the streets of our neighborhood, but
still reminded me that he would always know where I was. He hadn’t laid a
hand on me, except during sex; then he still liked to slap me around, bruise me,
choke me, spit on me, call me his whore. And I still liked it.
But it left me with a little problem: I was potentially pregnant. I couldn’t
remember the last time I had gotten my Depo shot—was it before Michael and
I got together? Was it after we were engaged? That time was all fuzzy in my
brain; I think it was a coping mechanism. I was starting to forget his touch, his
voice, the look in his eyes when he told me he loved me.
I couldn’t even remember the last time I took my meds, or saw my
therapist or psychiatrist. Jack wouldn’t allow it. He liked me unmedicated and
not talking to anyone without knowing exactly what I was saying. I think he
worried that I would tell someone everything that had happened between me
and him. I didn’t want to talk to anyone, though—I was fine. I had been
perfectly content and hadn’t had any obvious hypomanic or depressive
episodes. So clearly, something was going right.
