I came down the stairs, eyeing Darren. I was furious he had Steve arrested and also a bit guilty, if it weren’t for me Steve wouldn’t be in jail. I looked him over, “How long are you planning on staying here?” He didn’t even look at me, he was fiddling with his phone. “Forever.” I shook my head, “Nope that’s not an option. We aren’t together anymore Darren. I don’t want you here. My dad will be here in a few days and you better not be here.” He looked at me, “So your talking to your dad again? Guess I didn’t do enough to make him hate you eh? I need to head back to town and do some work, guess I can do that while he visits then I’m coming back do you understand?” I nodded, I knew I would take those days to find a way out of this. Guess I’ll need to run for it again, I looked around and I felt sad my happy place was gone. I felt so happy and safe here and in just a little bit he ruined everything again. “But there’s one thing I want before I leave.” I knew where this was going h
I waited a bit for Darren to get back, he wasn’t getting here very quickly, I was getting impatient. I just wanted to know he was gone, it was after supper when I finally got Jeremy to sleep and Darren finally showed up. He tried to walk in but the door was locked so he started hitting it, I ran over quickly and unlocked it,“Don’t ever fucking lock the door again, do you got it. You make sure it’s always open for me, I don’t want to wait until you come open it. That will be the same for your legs too got it?” I simply nodded, there’s no way I would let Darren touch me. I knew I needed to put on a show for him to leave and trust me, but I couldn’t be too obvious. I watched as he packed his bag,“When are you leaving?”He looked me over, “In a few hours.” “And when should I expect you back?”“By Friday night”That only gave me 3 days to get out of here, “Okay, I’ll be going to the grocery store this week is there anything you want?”“Yeah grab some pop and chips all you have here is
I stayed up late packing everything, I looked around I was finally beginning to feel like home here, it was supposed to be my safe place. Now I’m going to need to find a place and be homeless with a baby, could I stay hidden this time.First thing in the morning my dad called, I knew he had a lot of questions and I wanted to be honest for once,“Hey dad”“Hey Hunny what is going on?”I felt the tears start, I had let my dad down once again. “I’m sorry dad, he’s been released from jail and he found me. He put my friend Steve in jail for something he didn’t do and he’s threatening me.”My dad didn’t say anything for a moment,“I’ll be there soon, is he there should I bring my rifle?”“No he’s gone for a few days and he said he will be back he wants me here or he will find me and make sure I lose Jeremy.” “We will work this out hunny, I think I have an idea for you to go somewhere for a bit.”The phone went dead, I bet my father was furious he was going through this again with me. My mi
We heading down to my father’s for the night, the entire time I felt sick to my stomach, I just wanted to talk to Steve and make sure he was okay. I was hoping that the camera footage would help set him free but I know nothing is ever that simple.I made sure to keep my ringer on the entire time in case he called me but I didn’t receive any calls. Once we got to my father’s he unloaded our overnight bag and grabbed Jeremy, we walked in and I was anxious and nervous to hear what his plan was.“Are you absolutely sure you are not going to contact Darren? Cause this place I don’t want anyone to know where it is, I want this to be your safe place and it’s were I plan to retire.”I nodded at him.“Well I bought a cabin about an hour from here, it’s lake access so right now we can only make it by snow machine, then when the ice begins to melt you won’t be able to go across unless it’s an absolute emergency and you called 911 they would be able to make it out there. So there are about 4 weeks
I woke up with a big smile, knowing today was the day I could see him. I got up with Jeremy and put him back to sleep while I took a shower and began to get myself ready. I looked outside the truck was gone, my dad must have already left early. I picked out my best outfit and curled my hair. I put on a light amount of makeup, I didn’t want to make it obvious I was trying to look good for him.It bothered me I wouldn’t be able to see him often, so I wanted to look good when I did. I began cleaning up my dad’s breakfast mess and made myself a coffee. I sat at the table and started to make myself a list of stuff to pick up, I need to make sure I get myself some books and lots of stuff to write. I was planning on writing Steve a lot of letters, I needed to get Jeremy a few sizes of clothing too, I didn’t even know if there was a washer and dryer there or how I would do laundry.I was a bit excited too see the cabin, I’m sure Jeremy would love it there too. In the summer we would be able to
My first instinct was to turn around and leave, I knew Darren was here just a few hours ago. But I couldn’t back away now, I needed to see him I sign the guest book, ‘Kay Myler Relationship: Girlfriend’ I knew if he came back he would see that, I wanted to piss him off and realize he needed to back off. I got called in immediately as they brought me through these large heavy steel doors. They walked me down a hall into a small room with a Plexiglas in front of it. In the room next to me was a young woman with her little girl on her lap talking to a man in an orange jumpsuit on the other side of the glass, it made me sad to see them need to be so far from each other when that was their family. I heard the big steel door open on the other side and I saw Steve walk in, his blond hair was a mess and he’s blue eyes were dark. He looked like he hasn’t been sleeping much, he looked surprised to see me sitting there. Once he heard the guard close the door, he immediately asked me, “What t
As I walked out of the steel door I immediately spotted my dad and Jeremy, my dad was eyeing me curiously. I signed out and asked the lady if I can put money in Steve’s canteen. “You can dear, but that man, your father I believe he said he was, he put some in there while you were in your visit.”I smiled at her and my father as we headed out, I just wanted to get out of this city as fast as possible. We got into the car and began to drive out of the city, I got a text from Darren,Darren: Heard you went to visit Steve, didn’t I tell you to stay away from him Kay, get home now! I’m on my way back home.I felt my stomach drop, we were just outside of town and Darren was on his way this way how did he even know I seen him. I needed to think of a way of stalling him.Kay: What are you talking about I’m home with Jeremy, I just put him to sleep. My dad just dropped us off and he said tomorrow night he will be dropping off a gift for Christmas, I think it’s some cash I hope anyways.I waite
“Okay Kay, are you ready?” “More then I’ve ever been, I left a letter to be mailed out on the seat.” He looked over and smiled. I grabbed Jeremy and we both sat in the trailer, just wrapped him up in a big blanket and put a blanket over our heads to try and keep him warm. We drove for only about 10 minutes and we were at the cabin when I felt the snow machine come to a complete stop. I peaked out and saw a small light on the porch , I could tell it was a log cabin, I grabbed Jeremy and his car seat and rushed inside since it was really cold tonight. I walked into the little cabin and from the inside I could tell it was completely log all around it had a small living room with a couch and chair and a large fireplace in front of the couch, it had a small TV in the corner. Off the living room it has a small kitchen with a little table, it was all open concept. There were two bedrooms and a big loft above the kitchen and bedrooms. It was so cute and cozy, I was actually excited to be h
