“What are you doing Rae?” I rubbed my forehead. I felt a headache coming on.

“What does it look like? I’m not about to let you go in there alone.”

“I’m a grown ass woman. I can take care of myself.” I jumped out of the car and slammed the door behind me. I was so sick and tired of people treating me as if I were handicap or something.

It’s been three weeks since my attack. I’ve been staying at Rae’s house since I was released from the hospital a few days ago. I woke up this morning and decided today was the day I would face my fears and go home. I knew the longer I put it off the harder it would be for my healing process to begin.

“Don’t be a bitter bitch. Shutting me out is not an option for you,” Rae yelled from her car.

“I can be a bitter bitch as long as I want to. You didn’t go through half of the shit I did. Don’t you dare fuckin’ tell me how to feel. Not you or nobody else for that matter.”

She let out a sigh. “I understand where you coming from. Just call me if you need me alright.”

She sounded sad. Hurting her feelings wasn’t my intentions. “Look I apologize for snapping. I know you mean well but I just need to be alone right now.” She gave me a semi smile. Her window rolled up and that was my cue to go inside.

She made sure I was inside the house before she backed out the driveway. I looked through the peep hole to make sure she was gone. Only one of her security details followed behind her. The other stayed parked at my curb. I felt a little better knowing someone was watching out for me.

Looking around the living room everything seemed as if it was never touched. I started to feel nauseous. All of the memories I tried my hardest to block out came rushing back. I don’t think the words could be found in the dictionary to describe the way I’m feeling right now. Why did this have to happen to me of all people?

I let out a raging scream. I threw a vase against the wall out of frustration. I watched the vase slam into the wall and shatter into tiny pieces. Once I regained my composure I grabbed my bible off the coffee table. I paced the floor a few times lost in deep thought.

I took a deep breath and fell back onto the couch. I held the bible close to my chest thinking this is what they were after the whole time. The code to my safe, the formula to OKAY, and all of my back account numbers are located on the very first page. I hid the information in plain sight. I knew nobody would ever think to look there.

I heard the front door open and slowly close. I wasn’t in the mood for a visitor. “I tried to have everything put back just the way it was before.
