Nicoles POV I can't fucking believe this, it's all too much. I should have known better than to sleep with him, yet it felt so right. I run until I can't anymore, out of breath, I find a spot under some brush to try and keep out of the rain. Again, I'm hiding, only this time I care for him and it sounds ridiculous as I met him only mere hours ago. Hearing a twig break, I hold my breath, it's still raining so hopefully whoever is out there doesn't pick my scent up. The thought still freaks me out but it is what it is. Some minutes pass by, I peak around the bush and see nothing. Whew, it must have been a passerby. "Got you girl", my eyes widen at the fear of a man I do not recognize. Grabbing for me, I kick him in his chest, "You aren't getting away that quick you bitch!". "I'm not who you're looking for, I don't know you!" picking myself up, I start dashing through the trees, stumbling over a root, falling face first into the dirt. This man grabs me by my leg, brings his hand back an
" Well, well well....if it isn't the most distgusting and ugly thing I've ever looked at", my mother says with a sneer on her face. Giving me a sharp kick to my ribs, feeling as if the last breath has escaped my lungs. My thoughts running rampid and hoping today is the day that I die. Anything else has to be better than this shithole that I live in. " I hate you! You are nothing and will never be anything!" as she lands a hard slap to my face. I know better than to stand up for myself anymore, the last time I did that, I got a sharp heel to my thigh and the bruise was there for days. No one was going to save me.... "WAKE UP!" Feeling hands grasping my shoulders, I wake up startled and look around for any threats. Allie leaning in my face, "It's just a nightmare, take deep breaths okay? No one is going to hurt you, you are safe." She says. Tears threatening to slide down my face, reaching out to her arms, "I'm okay....really.". Her mouth set in a thin line and not buying my b
Walking outside, taking a deep breath of fresh country air. I do love my life, just not the past that plagues my dreams. Allie and I saved up to buy this house, a little cabin nestled back into the woods where you can't see from the road. I installed a gate at the entrance of the driveway so no one can enter unless the correct pin is entered. Climbing into my truck, my dream truck at that. I worked really hard for what I have and decided that I needed to start enjoying life when Allie and I became roomates. She gets me, she rarely asks questions about what happens but doesn't question why I do certain things. After moving in, I bought a p****l and received my cpl, I need to feel safe in my own home. I fear that one day, my mother will come back to torture me more and she won't leave me alive this time.Cranking my favorite rock song, I skid out of the driveway as I may be late. One thing about living in the country, not too many cops out this way so stepping on the pedal, I head into
"You look really good Nicole!". Allie did a good job at picking out an outfit that I approve of. A pair of faux leather pants, a black deep v neck body suit with a blazer and a pair of high heels. "I love this outfit, thank you." I look at her. "Don't worry about it, lets find you a man eh?" as she wiggles her eyebrows. "I'm not sure if I'm ready for that but I want to apologize if I made it seem that this idea of going out to the new place is stupid. I am going to let loose tonight and enjoy it". Her eyes widens and grabs my shoulders "Where is my friend Nicole and what have you done with her!". We both start laughing uncontrollably. Allie went ahead and did my make up too. I hardly recognize myself, she truly has talent. Deciding to take my truck as it's four wheel drive, she climbs into the drivers seat. "How do you manage to operate this thing?" looking shocked. "What can I say, I like my truck. Want me to drive there?". Shaking her head no, she starts up the engine and off we go
Allie and Megan make it back to the table, "Are you okay?" Allie sits next to me. "I'm fine, just had enough of her shit for one day". Megan looks around..maybe we should go?". "I'm not leaving, I refuse to let someone push me around" Looking at the girls. Allie looks at my interestingly "So is this the new Nicole because I like it!". I smile while shaking my head. "That girl likes to cause trouble, she's entitled and always been that way" Megan adds. "Does she bother you or something, you kinda seem scared" I say. "Nicole, she can ruin lives if she wants too. She has. All I'm saying is don't play with fire" megan looks at me. Interesting I thought. Just at that time, Eliza comes back and looks to have some of her friends with her. She throws a drink in my face, "That'll teach you bitch!" Her minions start laughing. I gather my thoughts and stand up slowly, keeping my face neutral. Megan and Allie both stand up "Nicole, don't." Allie says. She knows when I get pushed so far, I will s
"You ran off quick, didn't like dancing with me?" Westin asks. Him and his friend have invited themselves to sit by us. "This is my friend Axel". Allie makes googly eyes at him and smiles. We make the introductions. Westin wraps his arm around my shoulder. "I needed a drink, sorry" I tell him. Whispering in my ear, "Why don't we finish the dance at your place?" Although a good fuck sounds nice right about now and the alcohol has hit full force. I shake my head, "Sorry handsome, no offense but I'm not interested". He gently grabs my chin and brings my face up to his, he plants a soft kiss on my lips "Are you sure?". Westin freezes just for a second and suddenly lets go of me..."uhhh sorry about that, Axel, lets go". They walk away quickly, "How rude" I say to Allie. "I guess I won't be bringing anyone home tonight". We are drunk and decided it's time to head home. Thank goodness neither one of us have to work tomorrow. Allie grabs my arm "Elizas boyfriend is watching you like a hawk N
Blakes POVWhat a long ass day, Blake says to himself at his desk. Running his hands down his face, I'm exhausted. Already sensing someone is at the door "Come in!" Westing walks in, "What's up man?" running a hand through his hair. "Just finishing up some of the pack paperwork before the deadline, what's going on with you?" not looking at him. "You need a break ya know that, why don't you find a hot chick and have fun for once?" westin replies with a smirk, "I do it all the time" he adds. "This is what you want to talk about? Me getting laid?". Although I've had a few women in my past, I learned that it doesn't bring any satisfactions having meaningless sex. Plus, they get attached. "I'm just saying you work alot, it's been a while since we've done anything fun and relaxing", "What's on your mind" I say. Westin getting up out of his chair, walking up to my desk "Lets just get out for awhile, grab a few beers and take a drive, go to a bar, have a bonfire and shoot the shit". He's righ
Nicoles POVSlamming the door, locking it. I slide down the door and try to keep my emotions in tact. Tears slowly make their way down my face. "What's wrong Nicole?" Allie walks up to me. "Some weird shit has happened tonight and I'm feeling a lot of different things, I seen things that I'm not sure were real or not and I could sense a lot in that bar". Allie sits down next to me "Yeah, you got that shit right. I'd like to get out of these clothes and shower. I'll meet you after with a bottle of wine" I nod, helping me up, she leads me to my room and heads to hers. Turning on the water, I want it scolding hot. I love water, it grounds me and brings me peace. It's unexplainable. My mind wonders to Blake, gorgeous Blake. How a part of me wanted him to lift me up and fuck me against my truck and the other part of me wanting to run as this feeling is foreign to me. Touching my bruised lip, it's sore but could be worse. I throw my hair up in a clip and grab my lilac body wash. I feel dir
