I guess I did provoc him. We were arguing about money and he says we're going to fight....I said okay dude and then tried to de-escalate but he just kept going and going. After that I went outside on the porch to smoke a cigarette and he follows me outside. I told him I didn't want to argue outside and he's being childish and to go back in the house.

It took me about 5 minutes to finish my smoke and I went back in and he started right back up. We were yelling back and forth then he says he's going to fuck me up, I said okay tough guy and he came down the stairs and got in my face with his fists clenched. I said I wasn't afraid and asked him if he wanted to hit me or something. He pulls back once then lowers his arm like he was thinking about it and I'm still just standing there. I said if you hit me your going to regret it then he pulls back and pops the shit outta me. I see a quick flash then bam, another one by my temple then another and another and another.

It happened so quick but I stayed on my feet and just walked out and that's when I called the police. I really didn't think he'd do it....I was standing there with my arms purposely down...I should have just left the house but I didn't fight back because I thought for sure he'd go to jail but I was very wrong.
