It was never clearly abuse but it was never clearly not either. --------------------------- Water cascaded over my back as I hid in the shower. I sat on the floor, hugging my knees to my chest tightly. Mom would be back any minute now and the screaming would stop. I peaked my head out of the shower at my kid sister who sat perched on the counter top next to the sink. Her eyes glazed over as she gazed outside. "You two better open up right now or I swear I'll kill you both!" came a harsh voice and Chloe's eyes caught mine. the earsplitting sound of wood snapping made us both jump and I motioned for Chloe to come in the shower with me and away from the door. Another earsplitting crack and the door burst open. My heart was beating through my chest, blood rushing in my ears as I turned Chloe so that my body shielded hers. there were tears in her eyes and then pure terror took over her face. --------------------------- Saylor has finally managed to get her life together after a below average childhood to say the least.

He asked and I looked up at his eyes. I didn't have to ponder over the matter long. "I don't know." I said softly. Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do." ********* Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different. When high school was over River and Daimen became ghosts to each other but then years later fate decides to bring them back together. River Sparrow hates confrontation. She's jumpy, but tries to see the bright side of situations. She's quiet, soft spoken, the "teacher's pet," and keeps to herself a lot. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter and loves one dog in particular the most. Daimen Princeston would fight in a heartbeat. He's strong, intimidating, and pretty much has people running for the hills at the very aspect of him getting angry. His devil-may-care attitude swirls around him and no one wants to get on his bad side. Of course River is afraid of him, and she has a good right to be. But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?
