Chapter 3 the change

Natasha POV

I walked on the side walk avoiding people.

I still couldn't believe this was happening to me, why do horrible things come my way? When will I find my peace? No one believes me, not even him.

I winced when I remember the look tuck gave me when I was in the interrogation room. I shook my head as I kept walking, I had nothing on me but I know that I needed to reach that bank. I need to get my money and leave as soon as I can. But one thing for sure, I will find out who killed Jeff, I will clear my name. I looked up when I reach the street, a group of people around me waiting for the right moment to cross.

When it was time we all started walking, I blend in the crowd. I was almost near the bank that I made my private account in. As I was walking I couldn't help thinking who would do something like this? Who would kill him? I didn't even have the guts to do... Then again I don't have the guts to take away a human life.

This person who did this was crazy, and capable of doing more things. I'm not stupid I have to get ready if I want to face this person. I have to be strong, all my life I have been weak. But I'm done I won't be weak anymore; I won't let anyone hurt me anymore. I look up when I realized that I reached the bank, I pulled the door opened and the cold A.C hit me. I love the cold air; it makes my skin feel wonderful.

I look around to see if there was anyone there would notice me being Jeff wife but I saw no familiar faces of his friends. I was glad I choose this bank; I made sure Jeff had no Allies or friends in this bank. I walk towards the lady, she smiled at me "Hello what can I help you with?" she asked me.

"Hi my name's Natasha Baez and I want to draw out the money I have in my account." I told her as she nodded and put my name in the computer. "Password to account?" she asked me and I gave her my password and said my proof of verification, showing her my ID and account card.



"Wow! You have a lot of money in this account." She said looking up at me from the computer. I nodded "Well that's what you get when you marry a rich man." I said trying to push her mind away from the amount of money I have in my account. "Must be nice huh? Find me one." She said laughing. I manage to let out a giggle, she doesn't want the life I live I know that for a fact. She told me to follow her and we went in the room.

She pulled out the key and opened the safe my money was in. "Would you like a bag? I realized you didn't bring one." I smiled and nodded.

"Thanks um?" she smiled and said "Ireland." I must have look have look shock cause she laughed and said "I know I know but that's where my parents met and that's where they conceived me." I smiled at the thought of that and she grabbed a bag with the Bank logo on it and handed it to me. I thank her and started placing the money in the bag, I didn't how it happened but she grabbed my arm and that's when I realized that a bruised was showing. It was when I had pulled up the sleeves of the sweat shirt that I'm wearing because of the heat from walking. "I know bruises like these from anywhere, no wonder you're piling all these money in the bag. You're running away." She said looking at me.

Great I thought, planned ruined I barely made it out and now I'm going to be send back. "Why are you standing here in a daze? We got to hurry up and put the money in the bags." I looked up her shock as she placed the money in the bag and zipped it up handing me the key. She's helping me? She handed me the bag and we walked out the room. "I used to be abuse by my boyfriend who I was in a relationship with ever since I was 16 and now I'm 25. I broke up with him when I was 23. So I know what you're going through." Tears started falling down my eyes when I realized that she did understand when she showed me a scar on her stomach. "I'm getting off work about now, if you want a place to crash. You can crash at mine." She said smiling. I nodded my head, I don't why but I felt like I could trust her at least until she proves me wrong. She told me to wait in the lobby for her, a part of me was scared that she probably found out who I was and went to go turn me and but I let out a breath of relief when I saw her come out with her stuff smiling.

"First thing to do Natasha is change your looks, you ready for that?" she asked smiling. I looked at the pretty brunette lady that was next to me with her blue eyes. I smiled back and nodded. "Great cause I'm taking you to the hair salon, we're dying your hair and getting you contacts. There's my car" she said pointing towards her car. As we walk towards the car I held the bag close to me, can I really do this? I now have someone that's willing to help me. "Hey Ireland, I need to tell you the whole story. I'll understand If you wouldn't want me around you anymore or anything else. But since you're involved I'll have to tell you." I said as we reach her car and got in. she started the engine and turned to look at me "Natasha honey, I'll listen and believe you because honestly you remind me of me. You can tell me your story after we're done making you a new you." She said smiling and driving off.

But the question that was running through my head was that will she really believe me? Is she really going to be a friend to me?
