When Happiness Leads to Death

Prompt: She was finally happy, So of course She's dead now. - Why do you want to help, Most people turn and run at this point 

Home, wasn't home. Most people say 'home is where the heart is', this was not true for you. They say about 90% of people look for people like their father, and with your luck you found someone who was worse. Someone who not only mentally abused you, but physically and every other way in the book.

You had to get away, it took you three years, to finally find the courage to leave. You ran as far as possible, you changed your name, and dyed your hair to change it as much as you possible could, just enough that if you were to run into any one you would know then they wouldn't be able to recognize you. You could not look back, if you did you were waiting for your death, so you escaped.

You found yourself a small apartment in the city, a job in which you worked part time just to pay for the bills. You were afraid that every person that entered was going to be him finding you. You had moved from Settle to the Boston area. You currently worked at a dunking donuts in the mornings, well you used your afternoons to talk to some one, and work a second part time job using her degree inputting data at your own home.

It had been just over a month. You didn't stop looking over your shoulder constantly where you were. You had been running in quite a few times as a barista , he came in at the same time every day and ordered the same thing, you both kind of flirted, you were not ready to jump into anything, but that didn't mean you were not open for the extra couple dollars of a tip he gave you at the end of the week.

"you know what, we have been doing this flirting thing for weeks now, can I give you my number and take you out on a proper date?" He wondered as he handed you a slip of paper that read his number

"ill text you and see if I can make that happen" you responded as you bite your inner lip and handed him the coffee you had come to memorize that he ordered every day.

You hesitated to text him back , in fact you even avoided him for about a week, letting someone else help him and always disappear in the back when he came around. You knew the moment that you became happy everything you had done, your walls, your defenses would be put on hold. How could you resist that perfect smile, and those blue eyes.

About a month later, you finally decided to text him. You opted to go on the first date in a very public place. This way if you needed to escape you could quickly and without being really noticed. It was like love at first date. The two of you just clicked, and he was like no other man that you had met before. He was Chris and you were, allowed to be you. Not some scared little girl looking over her shoulder for the big bad ex.

Your first date, was perfect, everything you could have imagined, he was a true gentleman, someone you had never met before, a way you were never treated even growing up. You didn't know that men would be this nice. It was a Shame that it was not going to work out between the two of you. You knew you couldn't put that person that was so nice, so innocent into your world.

The next day you said Chris a text message. "im so sorry, I can't let you into my life, knowing how it might end, I can't let it hurt you too, we can't date, im so sorry" you said simply. That day he didn't show up at the coffee shop at his normal time. You sighed as you walked out of the coffee shop and a hand grabbed you as you were rounding the corner

Your heart stopped, your worst fears came into your body. Chills got sent down your body as you spun around and saw who it was you took a deep breath as nothing happened.

"you owe me something better than, I can't let it hurt you too" Chris said back to you as he leaned forward and kissed you.

The kiss you felt it in your toes, the kind of kiss that made you forget why you were running. You wrapped your arms around his neck before you pulled away "i can't, I just can't" you reply and pushed him away before you quickly tried to walk away.

"no you can't just do that" he said as he followed you "whatever you are running from you don't have to do it alone"

"yah I do and if I Don't then someone I know is going to get hurt and I wouldn't be able to live with myself Chris, I just can't okay" you replied as you looked up at him. As he held you against the wall

Chris nodded "well don't think that I am going to give up, ill break you" He said back to you as he slowly let his hands run down your sides "you know ill protect you, no matter what" he said simply before he ran his hand though his head and walked away

You took a deep breath.. you watched him walk away. You couldn't let that man ruin all of your life. You couldn't let your life pass you by and the only good thing to maybe come out of it, and walk away with it. You hesitated but he was still in ear shot as you changed your mind "wait" you said back to him as he quickly walked to him. "if we are going to date and this is going to go anywhere you need to know the truth" she said "but not here" you said as you grabbed his arm and pulled him to your apartment which was right there. It was not a big, maybe bigger than a shoe box, but it was a studio where the paint was pealing, and everything looked old.. and the building most likely had mice. But it was all you could afford

"y/n" he said back to you "you are really freaking me out" He said back to you, as you lead him to the couch

"All of my life I've thought love was pain. I thought pain was something to be in a expected" you replied "i was abused. For year I finally got the courage to get out of there, I ran as far as possible which ended me up here. You have to understand if he ever finds me I will end up dead, and I don't want to bring anyone else into that life with me"

Chris put his hand on your cheek and looked at you "pain I not love. And I will do what I can to help protect you, im not going to let anything happen to you y/n' I know we haven't known each other long, but I know you deserve to be happy, and I know you deserve to know what love actually is. " he replied to you as he wiped the tear that had slowly started to fall down your cheek.

The two of you, fall madly in love with each-other, spending every moment together, you ended up telling him your real name, which looking back now was a mistake, the two of you move in together. You finally found out what love actually is. You fell in love with the most amazing man. You wanted to spend your life with him, so the moment that he proposed to you, about six months later you didn't hesitate. You said yes. So fast and grabbed him kissing him right after that moment.

You didn't understand after everything and the constantly being afraid he didn't run, he stayed though all of it. The extra security in the house, the always checking in with you as you were just afraid. He stuck around and you never knew a person who cared so deeply

The two of you started to plan this wedding, as Chris was busy with work, and you were still working part time at the coffee shop. You started to feel off, as if someone was following you. Was someone really there? You didn't know if someone actually was, or if it was just your worry that you were actually happy that something bad was going to go on.

You walked into your apartment that you now shared with Chris. You throw your bag on the couch and he wasn't usually home at this time of day, but there was still some music playing "babe are you here?" You wondered as you carefully walked though the house.

That was when you felt the arm around your body, and a knife held close to your neck "did you really think that you could hid?" He raspy voice said behind you.

You swallowed hard as you could feel the blade push harder against your neck, and a warm drop of blood run down the rest of your neck "im sorry" you said to the man to try and plead for your life "ill come home I am so sorry"

"no you are not" he said "you brought this upon yourself." He said back to you. Little did he know you were not going to go down easily, you had been taking self defense classes with Chris. You were working on protecting yourself.

You take a deep breath as you hit him right in the balls with that he released his grip. You quickly run to the room you came form to grab your phone to try and dial 911, or the security company. You quickly tried to dial before you got pulled and then hit "Please I am sorry" she said "please don't hurt me" you plead one more time as you struggled against him.

Though you had fight and you both struggled for a little bit as you were just not strong enough and only were able to dial 91 before he got the better of you.

Six stab wounds later. You laid there as you gasped for air and he left. You could feel the life draining out of your body.

Chris came home about two hours later and saw you laying there, in your own blood, lifeless.. He tried to wake you up and he could not. He finished what you were doing and called the police as he was now covered in your blood and dying on the inside trying to stay strong.
