There's alot going on right now. I hope I don't end up amoungst the 546687 other journals you all have because something very trumatic happened to me last night and I'm extremely tempermental.
Not only am I physically injured, I am mentaly scarred.
Go ahead and not belive me and continue to harrass me, I can show you the legal doccumentation I can put the video I had to watch 3 times now of what happened, I can youtube the 911 call.
FYI: Everyone. I do not want sympathy. I know it sucks, the situation I'm in but you need to be let known:
I am homeless.
I live in a room and board and for those of you who don't know. There's alot of shady homeless people. (I know it sounds like "WELL I KNEW THAT" You have no clue, These people can be dangerous. But not all.)
This was my reality check last night:
Skip the story if you want. i'm doing this for me and court case number: 9120696 Look It up, Orange County.
My roomate, Mellisa, has been being harrassed by one of her Ex's. We went to a public parking lot of a 711 to tell him, "You need to stop harrassing her or a restraining order will be filed."
That's ALOT Easier said than done.
I know you've seen domestic abuse in movies. We all have.
IT IS NOTHING, NOTHING, COMPARED TO REAL LIFE.
It was the scariest moment of my life, He was waiting for us, when we pulled into the parking lot, mellisa was in the driver, me in pass, I had my window down, her's was up. When we parked in the stall he ran up to the car, immediatley to my window screaming and shouting. Mellisa screamed for me to put the window up. (Her windows are a PAIN because they're the roll-up manualy kind) I DID IT IN LESS THAN .002 SECONDS) Next thing I know he's punching the window calling me a "D**e B****" and all sorts of other names, then called out, "WHO WANTS TO GET THEIR @$$ BEAT FIRST?! C'MON YOU LITTLE C***S! IM WAITING!" Mellisa then opened the driver door, exited the car while Calmly verbaly warning him: "Tony, you need to stop harrassing me, or I will have to put a restraint on you." He ran around the car so fast to her I swear I didn't see him run, but the next thing I knew he was in her face pinning her to the driver's side door screaming at the top of his lungs. Calling her names and all amounts of broken threats. He then procceded to bend the antenna to her car ENTIRELY, still screaming at her, demanding his things (which were not present) back. (At this point I was dialing 9-1-1 and was un-successful due to a broken phone screen) Mellisa calmly stated she did not have said things, and he got livid with his cussing and name calling. He kept comming at her pinning her to the car door (pushing the car mind you)(This was my second 911 failure) Mellisa warned him, "Tony, please get away from me, 5 feet minimum or I will have to defend myself." He continued to push her, at that point mellisa took out a can of pepper spray and attempted (and was unsuccessful) to spray him.
This is all a blur still: Here Goes:
Tony, noticing said pepper spray went balistic, he closed fisted rolled punches at mellisa and attempted to pry the pepper spray from her, (He was unsuccessful, thankfully) (And I was able to connect with the 9-1-1 Operator!) Tony threw melissa like a karate instructor throws a dummy during a demonstraition. And she flipped over, whole body, that's when he charged at the car, dove into the drivers side and came for me, he dug his hands into the center console and I slamed into my closed door.(Still on the phone with the dispatcher) "YOU'RE UP B****!" Was all I heard before he started swinging, I heard mellisa in the background screamning "TONY! STOP IT! DON'T TOUCH HER! TONY STOP!" I was not hit, thank god but what happened next. made me almost yell at the 9-1-1 dispatcher, she ripped him away from me in the most non-violent way possible, (I can't descibe it better than that.) and he flipped her again. I kept calm somehow, describing everything as it happened, every horrific grizly detail. AS EVERYONE WATCHED, MIND YOU Tony (himself) yelled "CALL THE COPS! THIS B**** IS ABUSING ME!" (I know...He's seriously messed up in the head.) I kept telling myself, "This isn't real... It's a movie... It's a bad dream... Someone's going to show up and this'll all be a bad joke." Of course that never happened. A man finally came forth telling him he needed to back off, after he'd wailed on mellisa (who was at this point, thrown into a bush) When he finished, He came for me again, the man tried to stop him, but 1/2 way there, A siren could be heard in the distance. (I'D NEVER BEEN MORE HAPPY IN MY LIFE TO SEE A COP I WAS PRASING JESUS CHRIST HALIELUJAH!) he was completly pale, he turned sharply and ran to his big SUV and booked it out of there faster than any SUV that size has EVER gone (so far that I've seen) When I told the 9-1-1 dispatcher that, she yelled at me for more info so I asked a bi-stander and he played stupid (I have a feeling they were connected in some way, his girlfriend laughed at mellisa to her face later) And the police arrived, I've never moved so fast, I was to mellisa faster than you can say any letter of the alphabet with less a sylable than A.
By this time he interveiwed a very shaky me, (i'd thrown my cellphone which later ended up in my hands) and we gave our statements. Mellisa was checked out by paramedics, had contusions, all over. And the one man that helped her gave a witness statement also.
This was such a reality check. It scarred me. I'm still crying and it's been a while since the last time I had a good cry. Almost a year.
BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE. OH NO.
That was last night....
TODAY:
Spent 5 hours in court to get MELLISA a restraing order against him, turns out I qualify under her order because he came at me too. So it went to the judge, we had to present it to her personally and do the run around. Mellisa. Poor thing... I had to help her through it. I didn't go for my benifit, I went for moral support. I knew she'd need it.
We called the police station. Orange PD. (Where it happened and where tony lives) They're not charging him with assult, nor battery, nor domestic abuse. Even though this is his 6th filed police report that he's evaded by running. How is that right?! >(
I'm very scared/sad/angry and extremly stressed and tempermental right now.
If I snap at you i am so sorry.
Mellisa and I are okay now, we both break down and have flashbacks.
Goodthings today:
Another reality check
You see them everywhere, freeway off ramp panhandlers. Mellisa and I personally know, it takes GUTS to do that. Her sign read "SINGLE MOTHER OUT OF JOB WITH KIDS" Her face said. "Please god help me" She was in tears, Mellisa and I don't have much so she opened her wallet and handed her, not change, not a dollar or two, BUT A 10 DOLLAR BILL.
She broke down. She said. "God Bless you." Mellisa said "Times are hard, I know. Have a merry christmas."
I broke down. It all became real today. I could've been there.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE UNTIL IT IS GONE. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. I HATE SAYING IT, IT'S SO CLICHE BUT IT IS A VERY SCARY WORLD OUT THERE. THERE IS ALOT WE AS MIDDLE-CLASS HUMAN BEINGS DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
i have to go. i'm in tears again.
ttyl.
