Chapter 17 Lone Wolf

"It's all your fault! You're the one who fucking did this to me!"

I took a step back, getting further cornered into the wall.

"I didn't mean to! I'm so sorry!"

"No you're not. Not yet."

He lunged forward, digging my back into the plaster. I didn't struggle, I could only stare into his empty eyes.

"Please Leo, let me go. I love you." I choked out as a last ditch attempt.

"I know you do, but who cares about you?"

I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, I held I tightly. I looked around and found myself still in my truck. I looked down at my belly, an electric, searing cramp swelled. I felt a hot wetness down in my panties, soaking through my pants. I slammed my head back down on the seat, pressing down onto my stomach.

"I forgot about you fucker."

Periods

And I thought things couldn't get worse.

I twisted around, desperate to get comfy. I didn't have any pain killers or pads/tampons. I kicked the cushions and screamed, hoping to release some of the pain.

And of course, the agony raged on.

"Wonderful."

I took me forever to fall back asleep. But I when I woke back up, I immediately went to the nearest pharmacy.

I grabbed a couple twenties from the money that I hid in the glove box for emergencies, mainly for gas only, or, such as now, extreme emergencies.

I tide my jacket around my waist to hide the Red Sea on my ass and marched into CVS.

As I was walking through the store, I had the sinking realization that I've had less then 8 hours of sleep over the course of two days and spent the rest of that time literally non stop driving. I began dozing off, possibly falling in and out of sleep in the toiletries aisle.

The lady behind the counter looked at me wide eyed as she ringed up my ibuprofen.

"Are you ok?"

"Please tell me there's a place to get coffee around here." I said with my eyes half open.

The lady kindly gave me directions to the nearest coffee shop and a map of the town.

"Are you sure your ok?"

"Yah yah, I'm fine."

After getting changed, I walked into the shop. It had a nice, quiet vibe. I took a seat up at a bar they had.

"What can I get you?"

I looked up and locked eyes with an older man with an white apron. I gave a small smile and respond.

"Just a normal cup of coffee, please."

He handed me a mug filled with the warm, dark beverage with the complimentary cream and sugar. I added three creamers and five packs of sugar. The man chuckle at the amount of sugar I poured into my coffee. I can't help it, I like it sweet.

He looked up and locked eyes with someone at the door. His smile instantly drop and his eyes narrowed.

"What's up doc?" Someone jumped onto the stool next to me.

"What do you want."

"A red eye, as usual." The stool creaked as it spun around.

"Who's the new kid."
