The Abusive Man(EDITING AT THE MOMENT)

CHAPTER 3:THE BOSS

I was laying on my back with my phone to my ear as I chatted to Claire. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen her and that was a record for us. I miss her! I miss our chats!

But the two weeks that I've spent in LA have been pretty okay. I've spent most of it indoors except for my walks with Max. But I feel safe in Zachary's home. I like it here.

"How are you doing?"Claire asked."I worry about you being alone all the time,it's not good for you."

I clicked my tongue off the roof of my mouth."I'm okay, don't worry. I have Max for company."

"A Dog is not company,Milly. It's not as if you can have a conversation with him."

"I chuckled."A dog doesn't argue with me,he's exactly what I need. I feel safe here-In this house. When I'm outside it's a different story."

"That's understandable,Hon. You're going to feel out of sorts for awhile and that's perfectly normal. Healing takes time!"She always knows just how to cheer me up.

I sat up in bed,tucking my blonde hair behind my ear."Do you think that he's alive?"It's a question that's been on my mind constantly since that night.

I wanted to know!!

I wasn't sure what answer I wanted. If Liam's dead then that means that I'm a Murderer. If he's alive then I know he's going to do everything in his power to find me.

"I don't know."Claire sighed."It's been two weeks since. I hate to say it but I'm sure we would have heard something by now if he was dead."

I guess she's right. Surely she would of seen it on the paper or something."I worry about you,Claire. Liam knows where you live,I'm worried about him trying something."

She sighed."Don't you worry about me, You don't need to. I know how to take care of myself, and my building has security so Liam is getting nowhere near."

I'd hate if anything happened to her because of me-Because of a man that I got involved with.I wouldn't put it past Liam to hurt her if he was desperate enough.

I heard the front doorbell ring from downstairs and my heart jumped into my throat,even Max did a jump from the bed. No one has called by in the two weeks that I've been here.

Automatically I thought of Liam!!

"Someone is at the door."I stood from my bed and walked out of my room with Max following behind me.

"Who is it?"Claire asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's Liam coming for me."I joked,but of course it could be a possibility. I was nervous so I was trying to do my best and lighten the mood.

"I'm sure he wouldn't just knock on the front door."

I walked into Zachary's room that was dark,but from what I could see it was just as fancy as the rest of the house.I crossed his bedroom and had a sneaky look out his front window.

"It's okay, It's just Michelle!"I walked out of the room,breathing a sigh of relief.

"Well isn't that great. Now you have some company other than that dog." She chuckled."Michelle mentioned that she was going to call over,It must have slipped my mind."

I walked down the stairs with Max by my side."I should go. Call you in a few days?"

"Sure,Have Fun!! Bye,Hon!"Claire hung up the phone and I quickly made my way to the front door. I'm sure Michelle is getting tired of waiting at this stage.

"Well about time,I was starting to lose hope."She held the bottle of wine out towards me and smiled."It's Party Time! Can I come in?"

"Sure."I opened the door wider for her to come in. I followed Michelle towards the kitchen."So it's Party Time?"
