The third point of view:
Anabelle was free at last and that had to be the happiest day of her life, however, to her horror, it wasn't. The girl couldn't explain it but she wanted more time with Julie.
It was true that the asshole bullied and made her do difficult things - some of them being things she had never done in her entire life- but he never made her do inappropriate things and knew how to appease her anger. Although he hadn't been that sweet the first time they met, Anabelle had come to discover that was the mask he hid beneath; he always appeared to be tough and uncaring. But in reality, he was a big, bad, softie.
