Brynn's POV

It's been so long since I felt love. Since I felt anything but fear, stuck in survival mode. I was so terrified when Becca and her brother-in-law approached and tried talking to me at the Mommy-n-Me classes. I thought I was going to faint. We'd been going to them around the city for a year. I was terrified that Ryan would find out and that would be it. I'd get another beating. Poor Quinn, he's terrified of men because of his Dad.

Ryan thinks because he didn't push me around too much in front of Quinn that all would be okay. I wanted us to stay out of the house as much as possible because that meant that he couldn't hit us. He could also go out and do whatever he wanted. Usually other women, and lots of alcohol or drugs. I didn't care what he did, as long as it wasn't around Quinn or myself.

Ryan got so mad that I'd made a friend at the Mommy-n-Me classes he told me to either stop attending, or he'd kick me out. Not the first time he'd made the threat, but this time, I said no. So, he beat me so bad I had bruises on me and I could hardly lift Quinn. Another time, when I first started going to the classes and didn't want to stop, he kicked us out. We lived in my car for a month.

In the short time frame of each of the classes, I got closer to Becca and her brother and brother-in-law. They were nice, and I didn't mind if he hit me. I had friends. I had someone who cared. They helped me get a job at the hospital.

After Ryan 'disappeared', Becca helped me get into a nursing program to get my RN at night. She and her brother and brother-in-law even set me up with housing on the MC compound they're a part of.

The doctor the MC has, works at the hospital also. He was there when we first came to the compound. He doesn't have a house here, he stays in the clubhouse, but he comes to our home in the back of the compound to check on us. He never pushes anything. If I'm having a rough day, he will always tell me he can come back and he'll check a couple of dates to see which work for me. He's also never pushed me for answers if I feel I can't give them. He's...considerate? I don't know if that's him being a doctor or what but it's nice. I've also never met a doctor or nurse as nice as him. Aside from Becca, and Parker. Doc is really nice. He's handsome, but usually, men like that want something from you.

And I've sworn off all men.

Forever.

Except Quinn. My little guy.

We're close to Becca's little family and her brother-in-law's family. There are a ton of kids on the compound, so Quinn has been making friends. We've been going to therapy, at least twice a week. Parker, Becca's brother, is married to Kai. His twin, Indiana, opened up to me about the abuse and horrors she went through at the hands of her husband. It was nice knowing I'm not alone, but it hurt at the same time knowing someone else has had to go through that hell. She told me about when he put her through a literal wall before her brother came and took her and her son, Bear out of that house of horrors.

Becca was coming over today. It was the day before I go see my therapist, and frankly, I felt a little like I was drowning with no idea which way was up, or if I should grab a life preserver or just let myself drift to god knows where. I don't know how I'm supposed to function on a compound where most of the people who live here are men. I can barely go to people's houses, even if I want to. Indie has brought her kids around me, which is great and it's helping Quinn. His therapist said he's doing wonderful, and to keep it up.

The knock at the door startled me, and I looked out the peephole. Becca. I opened the door, and she came into our living room. Indie promised to keep Grey and Quinn for us while we talked. Becca said she'd been through some pretty rough stuff too growing up. From people meant to protect you.
