****MENTIONS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE, RAPE, AND ADULT LANGUAGE!!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED****

Keira POV

It was another normal and boring day in the office that I worked for in LA. That is until my boyfriend showed up, again. "What the hell Keira?! I told you not to work here any more! Stupid bitch!" David, my clearly pissed off boyfriend, was shouting at the top of his lungs. Causing everyone in the office to look at us. 'Great. This again. Bad enough I gotta deal with this at home and now here. Jesus fucking Christ. Shit's getting old' I thought to myself as I quickly guided David to a more private area. "Look baby I'm sorry. I know you told me to quit, but if I stay a couple more days I'll get this big bonus that I know you'll love. I was going to surprise you with it. Like an early birthday present. Please baby. I wanna give you this. After I get it I'll wait a day or two and say that I got another job. And then I can stay at home like you want. Please baby." I was trying to buy time honestly. I had no intention of giving him a damn penny. I just needed a couple more days. "How much is this bonus?" He crossed his arms over his chest awaiting my answer. "It's 30,000 dollars. We got a really big case and won a lot. I got one of the biggest shares of it." The look on his face said it all. He silently nodded to me and grunted as if saying okay. He left afterwards and I stood in the empty room for a couple minutes. That's when I knew I had a choice to make. And that choice would either give me a new life or end the one I was currently living. Either way one of those would be better than what I would face when I got home later that night.


***** 1 week later******

"WHERE THE FUCK IS IT YOU BITCH?!?! IT'S NOT IN YOUR BANK, IT'S NOT IN YOUR USUAL HIDING SPOTS, AND IT'S NOT IN YOUR CAR. SO I'LL ASK AGAIN WHERE IN THE FUCK IS MY DAMN MONEY!!!" It's been a couple days since I got that bonus. Little did David know that I told my boss everything from the beating to the rape. He told me he'd help in anyway possible. Hell he even gave me his share of the money, 70,000 dollars. Meaning I now had 100,000 dollars. Not that I would ever tell David that. My boss set up another account for me through a different bank in my hometown. He personally called my parents and told them what was happening and gave them the information so I'd have it when I got there. But getting away was shaping up to be harder than I thought. "I'm sorry baby. I don't know what is going on. I swear. They said it should be there." I knew I was asking for trouble. He knew I knew but I just had to hold off until tonight. He'd get drunk, like usual, then beat me and probably force his way on me. I've gotten used to the pain though. I've dealt with it for going on 3 years now. But tonight.... Tonight was going to be the last night.

*****5 hours later******

I quietly made my way through the house. Making sure not to wake up David who had passed out about 2 hours ago on the bed. I grabbed my prepacked duffel bags and my purse and made my way to the car. I started the car and quickly left. Making sure to take public roads and random turns so if David or someone he knew followed me I'd know. After I was a couple miles away I started my 10 hour drive back to my hometown. A place I thought I'd never go to again.

It was around 10am when I passed the 'Welcome to Charming' sign. Ironic name for what happens in this town. A couple minutes later I was pulling into the Teller-Morrow Automotive lot. I saw a row of motorcycles parked perfectly to my left as I pulled my SUV into a spot on the right of the lot. It was Sunday so I'd figured the garage would be closed. But there were still people working on the cars. 'Mechanic's work is never done' I thought as I got out of the car. My presence had drawn the attention of the people in the shop as I walked over. People I thought I'd never see again.
