After the loud knock Liam and I both looked at each other. He was about to go towards the door when the door creaked open to someone popping their head in. I looked at the brown curly hair and those deep brown eyes and recognized him as the man who held me up as I fainted after the car incident. He stayed at the door awkwardly. I started to shift in the bed feeling uncomfortable myself.
Liam was in the middle of the room, looking between me and the newcomer. When he finally nodded at the new comer he opened the door wider and walked into the room. "Lorna this is Detective Jacob Sanchez, he's the detective assigned to your case. He's also one of my best friends." Liam smiled softly looking back at he's friend. I could tell they had more of a brotherly relationship. I gave both of them a tight smile. My brain seems to be broken, I guess having a psychotic soon to be ex and finding myself around gorgeous guys my brain has decided to short circuit.

I pulled my phone out slowly and swiped the screen up to unlock it. I glanced back at Liam his hand still on my shoulder, I turned to Jacob his hands still on my knees. I took another deep breath trying to center myself. I have never showed anyone the things I am about to show these two strangers. James was only abusive physically recently but the emotional abuse started several years before. The controlling behavior started after we said "I do" but it was small changes that I began to notice a year ago. Several weeks before the incident that turned physical I had went over my budget for grocceries. James had come home upset fuming, breaking everything screaming that I was ungrateful and stupid ranting and raving and for some reason I decided to record it. I never thought of bringing it forward. I just wanted proof that he was in a sense going wild. I guess now that I think about it, it probably had to do with the fact that he was seeing Anna on the side. It probably was to much for

It's not fair how beautful these men are, and the way they are with each other, I sit and watch them from the living room as they interact about what Liam had ordered. I watch as they push each other around. They interact the same way my cousins used to when we'd all meet up for family gatherings. I smiled at the thought that they obviously loved each other like family. Seeing as they all lived in the same house and none of them were together.They interact with such comfortability, that I find myself getting jealous. For as long as I lived in my home with James we have never had such comfortabilty. I walked around the house on what felt like constantly walking on eggshells. Even now somewhat out of his reach I still have to tip toe around afraid he will retaliate in some way.The doorbell rings, meaning dinner was here Liam walked out of the kitchen, giving me a small smile on the way headed to the door."Lorna." Jacob called out to me beckoning me

We finshed eating in tense silence, well the guys were tense, I was enjoying my dinner and happy to be eating in peace for once. No one was commenting on how fat I was, or the fact that I was eating to much to keep my figure. My kids weren't huffing about what I made for dinner. It was a nice break for me.When I finished, I stood up and walked over to the sink and started washing the dishes that were in the sink. In the middle of washing up a hand landed on my waist, I look up to see Derek looking down at me. "You dont have to wash the dishes." "I don't mind honeslty I need something to keep me busy."He nods and grabs a rag, and starts drying off the dishes already in the drainer. I tilt my head towards him and watch him for a second. I noticed tattoos creeping out of his shirt, feeling awkward that I dont actually know anything about these men. So i decided I needed to know more."Is he mad that im here?" Derek looks over his shoulder from the cab

"Where are you, honey?" My mom's sweet voice cooed over the phone. The lump in my throat made it harder for me to swallow and keep down the tears that are trying to break free. I haven't talked to my mom in years. James said they were embarrassing, I didn't think so though. We were a loud loving family that always wanted to be together. When we got married and had the kids that changed we stopped going over because James claimed that we needed to make our own traditions as a family. It was hard. Incredibly hard. I was close with my cousins and my aunts and uncles. I was the miracle baby, my parents had the hardest time convincing me each of my parent's siblings had buckets of children but they made the best surrogate siblings a girl could have. James took them all away from me. I'm sure they thought it was my choice to stop talking to them, but never in my life would I turn my back on my family, not by my own choice. I swallowed down the lump in my throat, trying to figure out

I awoke to the impending sound of the garbage truck coming down the street. I jolted out of the bed knowing my husband forgot to pull the trash can out on the curb this morning. I knew i shouldnt have fallen to sleep after i dropped my kids off at the bus stop. "stupid stupid stupid" i chanted to myself as I tripped down the stairs to the front door. I ran to the side of the house where my overflowing trashbin was sitting. I pushed with all my might determined to beat the garbage men who seem to be working at super speed this morning. The truck slowed to a stop right in front of my house. I looked up to the truck to see the kind eyes of a beautiful man, I turned a little towards his coworker who was equally has goregous but he had a playful glint in his eyes and a smirk on his face. "You guys are early this morning" i said softly "And your a little underdressed beautiful." said the playful one. I looked down at my bare

Trigger warning *Domestic Violence* I just stared at my husband in complete shock. "Well?" "ummmm..I just was taking the trash out I panicked. I heard the truck coming and just hopped out of the bed." "Bed? What were you doing in bed so late?" His face started to turn red with anger and i knew I was never gonna hear the end of it. James liked to be the victim, he portrayed me as a horrible person a lazy person an ugly woman. Which I did not understand because I did everything he asked and everything that he wanted. I was a dutiful wife and a doting mother but none of that ever mattered to him. *slap* I blinked my eyes a couple times realizing what had just happened. Tears started to flow steadily from my eyes "wh-" " Shut your mouth Lorna! I am honestly tired of hearing you talk. Were you trying to whore yourself out to the trashmen? To the neighborhood? If I dont want to touch you know o

Ryan The minute i saw that beauty run out of her home in nothing but a tank top and a pair of underwear. I could not get her out of my head. I was driving the truck while my two best friends actually got to talk to her. I was trying not to be jealous because there moment was so brief but they got to hear her voice and look her in the eyes. I could tell by the way she acted and the way she looked although she was beautiful it looked as if she could shine so much more than she was. Something or somebody was making her sad. Since i have always been protective of my friends its always been the four of us I have never wanted to protect someone as much as i did that women. I had seen her husband before pulling the trash out and he looked like a scrawny douche. I hope i saw more of the woman and less of the douche because something in me wanted to make me want to fight him. I wouldnt say im intuitive but I got a bad feeling about that house and that fami

The week went by slowly and so did the healing of my bruises. I waited and waited for my kids and husband to get home or to even get a phone call and i got nothing. Friday came and there was no sign of my family coming home. I heard the trash truck coming down the street this time i was fully clothed and more I had a long sleeve shirt on and a pair of black leggings on. My hair was down to cover as much as my face as i could. I walked out slowly to the trash can and pulled it to the curb waiting for the trash men to come. Thankfully there were two different men on the back of the truck both equally as handsome as the two that came last week. I gave a small smile avoiding eye contact as much as possible. "hi, i had a quick question to ask if you guys have the time?" I said as meekly as possible. "I can answer any questions you have miss" A goregous pair of green eyes met mine as they sparkled in the beautiful sunlight. He was a tall m
