Chapter 1

"You stupid bitch! When I tell you to get my clothes ready you do it!" Evan yelled at me.

He then punched me in the rib cage, and then strikes me in the face.

"Understand! When I speak to you, you respond! Do you get it?" He yells once again and he strikes me in the face once again.

"Y-Y-Yes Evan..." The words quietly make out of my mouth.

"Good now go get dressed you worthless piece of shit! You have to go I work, then food shopping. Go now!" He says and kicks me.

I quickly get off the bedroom floor and walk over to the closet. Evan was so horrible. But the question is, why do I stay with the scum bag? Well, because he was the only person I have. Without him I would be on the streets by now. But Evan is a terrible man; he is the spawn of Satan, especially when he was drunk. Evan thinks that putting his hands on a woman shows control and power, which I think is complete bullshit. He is a worthless piece of shit and if I had the chance to leave him, I would.

That is what I am planning to do; every time I get my pay check I go and cash it out. I keep fifty dollars and give the rest to him. So far I have got five thousand dollars. But I just needed a bit more and I needed an escape plan.

"Are you done yet you bitch! You're going to lose your job if you don't hurry! If you lose your job you will get what's coming for you!" Evan screams.

I put on some jeans, a baggy sweatshirt, and my black vans. Uniform was not needed at my job as long as I looked presentable. I was a professional photographer for Rise Records.

I loved my job, it's my dream job. But I would soon have to quit.

"Get the fuck out." Evan says once we get there. He doesn't even make contact. I get out the big, black Toyota truck and walk up to the front doors. Once I'm inside I am greeted by the secretary Jane.

"Hello Jane!" I say trying to sound happy.

"Hello! Aww, poor child, did Satan hit you again. I don't know why you stay with him!" Jane says examining my cheek.

"Unfortunately he did put his hands on me again. I just need a bit more money then I'm leaving him Jane. So do I have any clients today?" I say trying to get off the subject.

"Yes! You have quite a few; you probably will have to come home late tonight." Jane says say the word 'late' extremely low.

"Well just send me the clients to my work email. I'll check them when I get into my office. Nice seeing you Jane!" I say while walking to my office. Once I come to view of my office I open the door to be greeted by a stack of papers on my desk. Seriously, I hate paper work. I sit at my desk and check my email, both work and regular.

While I check my regular email that I share with Evan, I see an email that catches my eye. Well curiosity killed the cat. I clicked on it and read through the email it was definitely for Evan and it wasn't for work.

To: Evan

From: not listed

Subject: hey baby

Hey baby. When are you going to dump that cunt you have in your house. I can't wait to see you this weekend. You were perfect last night. Well see you soon darling. ;)

xoxoxoxo

Ugh. I hate Evan. I can't wait to leave him. The looks of it he won't care that I leave.

Knock! Knock!

"Abby, your first client of the day is here to see you." Jane says while peeking her head through.

"Be there in a sec." I say.

I get up and grab my camera. That's it; I'm not going home tonight. I'm not even taking my stuff, Evan can keep it. I have all my important stuff here in my office.

Today's photo shoots consisted of taking photos for bands named:

-Of mice & Men

-Tonight Alive

-All Time Low

-Motionless in White

-Ghost Town

-Sleeping with Sirens

And my last client before I go away, Pierce the Veil.

"Hello. Are you our photographer today?" A man says from behind me.

"I guess so. Come on in!" I say trying to sound happy and positive as possible.

"Guys come on we're in here!" The man say then comes back with three other guys.

"Abby? Is that you?!?" I hear a voice behind me, is that Hime-Time.

"Jaime?" I question and turn around.

"Jaime! Oh my fucking god I thought I would never see you again!" I say jumping on to him.

"Yeah! This is my band. This is Vic, lead singer, Mike, brother of Vic and our drummer. Tony, my main man aka our guitarist. Then me, Hime-Time the bassists." Jaime says. Oh god still same old Jaime.

"Nice to meet y'all, let's get this photo shoot started." I say.

Once I get snap shots of them separately then all together the shoot is done and I give my goodbyes.

"Hey Abby, we have a shoot next week; I hope we have you again!" Jaime says.

"You won't have me. Today's my last day." I say then get sad.

"Why?" He questions coming back towards me.

"I'm running away. You know how I dated that guy Evan?" I question.

"Yeah I hated him." Jaime says.

"Well I'm still dating him for now and I'm done with him abusing me so I'm running away. It's not safe for me here anymore Jaime." I say.

"Come back to my home. Tell me this story before I kill this Evan guy." Jaime says.

I get all my stuff from my office and clean it out with the help of Jaime. I say good bye to Jane, she was sad but she knew what I was up to, and then we head to Jaime's home.
