Basically, my life and my future baby's life depends on Vikki knowing the red door's address. Cody stands on top of me, beating me constantly. He breathes in my face, and it's a very dull, sour breath. He throws my phone at the window, and breaks it in half. Shards of glass are now on the first floor, cutting me. How could he be so abusive? Does he do this to Celeste when he's drunk too? In a way, I don't hate her as much now. I've come up with a getaway plan. If this doesn't work, I don't know what else does. While he is hunched over me, I start to cry, giving him a reaction.

"You're so whiny. Stop." He asks. I got him to stop for a second. That's when I swooped in. I kiss Cody. It's an intimate, long kiss, one that you see in weddings. He stares at me for a second. what he doesn't know is that was just tricking him. He leans back, and I get on top of him. I do the grind on me dance on Cody, and I can tell that I completely changed his mood.

I ask, "Can you show me Celeste's closet so I can get some sexy lingerie for what's about to happen?" Cody escorts me to their room, and I see his phone lying on the bed. I go through the entry to the closet and Cody is standing in the doorway, watching me.

"Which one do you like?"

"I want it to be a surprise," I go over for a cute, little kiss, "Go in the den and give me a minute."

"Oh, alright." He smiles, and walks out. I take his phone from the bed, and run into the closet, and lock the door behind me. I call Vikki and the 9-1-1 operator again.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"I'm the girl who's back is broken. It's stinging and I can't feel it. I'm in a house with a drunkard, and he's abusing me. Help. Come quick, I'm pregnant." I cry softly.

"Ma'm, stay calm. Do you know the address of which this is happening?"

"No.. Vikki?" Yet again, a long pause. On the line, it sounds like she is looking through the trash or through papers or something. Did she write down the address?

"I'm sorry. I don't." Before I cry, I remember my client papers. They have all personal information.

"My client papers! Vikki, they are in my room on the floor, next to my bed. It has the address on there." For a good five minutes, her line is silent. That's when Cody starts knocking on the door.

"Sierra, is everything alright in there?"

"Yes, Cody. I'm practicing my sexy dance. I'll be out in five." Vikki is back on the line. She found them.

"I have them in my hand. 127 Monarch Park Lane 77316, Vanves, France." Now that I think of it, I remember seeing a 127 on the side of the window.

"Okay. We have policemen stationed near there. Please wait five more minutes." Then, they hung up.

"Open up Sierra! I know how to break it down!" Cody yells. I have no choice but to either hide or get some lingerie on. I find a corset-like one piece from Victoria's Secret. It is small on me, but it will do. I open up the door with it on, and Cody stares at me for minutes. Someone knocks on the door.

"Shit it's Celeste. Hide!" I start to walk off, but after he walks away, I follow him like stealth. It's the police, and they come over to me with two doctors. They examine me for what feels like years.

"Her back isn't straight. I can't move it back in line."

"How could she even have possibly stood up? Are you in pain?"

"Yes, very much. I can't feel my back. It's aching, too. But look at my eye, and-"

"She has a concussion! And a black eye."

Then the officer joins in on the conversation and says, "You need to get a restraining order on this man. He must have hurt your child. And look at all those cuts."

After a while, they send me to the hospital in critical condition. Two new doctors examine me now. One is a man, tall and fair, with brown eyes and blonde, curly hair. The other is a girl, who could basically be twins with Meghan Fox. They both seem too good looking to be doctors.

"My name is Doctor Alaina, and this is Doctor Kyle. We will be doing your operations." Operations? What do I need to be operated on? Later that night, I went in for an MRI, and I feel woozy afterwards. I think the doctors put me on crack, but I'm not sure. the stuff knocks me out for the night, and they do the operation while I am asleep.

In the morning, I try to get up, but I can't. My back cannot move at all. Doctor Kyle walks in, relived that I am awake.

"Look, we have to break it to you. I'll start with the good news. The fetus of the child wasn't damaged, and our baby will be healthy. As for the bad news, you're paralyzed in your whole upper body. You have to be in a wheel chair for the rest of your life." What? Cody has ruined my life forever. I can't go out in public anymore and have people not stare at me. Look at me! I'll forever remember the incident because I can't walk without it! They lift my body into it, and I can't help but cry. If only I hadn't gone through the red door.
