Last night I am getting ready to play a few games on the PC. Eric and Jacob were sleeping and Justin was watching TV. It's 10:30 and the phone rings. It's my mom calling me from WA. I thought something had happened to my grandmother and she tells me I need to go and get Brittany. Jason, her boyfriend is beating her up. I tell her I am going to take Justin with me and I will call her in a little bit. Justin and I get to her house, she and Jason are fighing. I tell her to get her things that she is coming with me. Justin is also yelling at her telling her the same thing. Justin starts walking to the back of the house with her to help her and Jason starts punching Justin. I call 911 while they are fighting and Brittany is trying to break it up. When I first got there I could tell that Jason had been hitting Brittany. Her face was swollen and she has some bruising already. Things calm down a bit and Brittany continues getting her things. I am outside waiting for them. Justin carries some things to the truck and as he is walking down the front steps Jason punches Justin in the back of the head. A fight begins again. I jump in the middle because Jason has picked up a little metal table and is going to throw it at Justin. I slap Jason and tell him he better back off! Justin is yelling at him that he better not hit his mother or else. I am happy to say that Justin kicked his ass! There was blood every where, Jason's blood that is. We finally get some of Britt's things in the car and the police show up. She doesn't want to press charges, just wants to leave. The cops don't push the issue because they aren't married and have no children together. They do tell her she can still press charges if she wants to. They also tell her she needs to go to the ER. We get her back to my house and then she flips out and says she is leaving, she isn't staying here. We are ruining her life and blah, blah, blah! I get her in the house and we get into a shouting match. Mind you, Eric is sleeping and has no idea what went on. He wakes up and she runs to Dad. I tell him that Jason has beat her ass and she needs to get to the ER. Her face is swollen and I am not sure if anything is broken. He finally talks her into going. Oh, but she won't go unless her brother goes. So off we go. On the way there she is feeling sick, her head hurts and she is dizzy. We get there and we get checked in right away. Then the waiting begins. First a cat scan of her head to make sure nothing is broken. The nurse talks to her about pressing charges and a few other things. Sophia was wonderful with her! Then the doc comes in, he tells her some of the same things that Sophia has told her. He checks her out and tells me that the cat scan came back good. Nothing broken. Britt is complaining about her neck hurting. So, doc orders and x-ray. We wait and wait, finally they came and got her for x-ray. More waiting. Neck is fine and Sophia comes in with Britt's discharge papers, her script and some phone numbers for Brittany to call in case she wants to talk to someone. While we are at the ER they give her some pain meds. We finally get home about 4 this morning. I get her into bed and talk with Eric for a bit. It's about 5 before I get to sleep. Jacob was almost late for school this morning because I didn't hear the alarm. Thank god he wasn't. He hates begin late. He did miss the bus though. I took him to school and then went to Wal-Mart to get Britt's scripts filled. I just got home and gave her a muscle relaxer and pain killer. Hopefully she will sleep all day. I need to get Jacob's rooms switch around now so she can have her old room back. I am not sure what that girl is going to do. While we were in the ER she was telling us that she hoped to be back with Jason in a couple of days! When I was at Jason's he told me he didn't want her back and has been trying to get her to leave for a couple months. I just hope she decides to do the right thing. My Uncle offered to pay her gas to AZ and she could live there with him. He has an extra room and he said there were plenty of jobs there. I just pray she makes the right choice. This picture is just the right side of her face. She has bruises on the other side as well. I think I am going try and get some sleep. This post is now going all over the place. I am tired and physically exhausted!
~Adios~
