"It's like in a movie in slow motion. I'm running towards Butch, and he's running towards me, he gets up to me, and he goes pow and punches me in the stomach." "Even though he had hit me, I looked at him as my protector, and anybody that I thought was going to be my protector and keep me safe, that's what I was drawn to," she says. "Until ultimately, I would find out that they were the person that I needed to be protected from."
