Chapter 12

Lost, lonely, and confused, Izzy had been aimlessly walking down Dort Highway for almost an hour. She couldn’t believe that Shawn had moved on without her. She couldn’t understand why her life had been so fucked up for her. Every time she thought things were going to get better, something worse would happen.

When she met Shawn, she thought God had finally answered her prayers and she had found her Prince Charming. They met at the strip club, and when he found out that she didn’t have a place to stay, he moved her in to his apartment and things started to look up. She was still working her nightshifts at the club, but instead of working every night, she cut her schedule down to just four days a week. On her days off, she would clean the house, cook her man breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and sit with him while he played his beloved video games.

Shawn was the perfect boyfriend to her. He had a good, steady job, paid the bills all on his own, and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with her.

He got a few job offers, but he turned them all down because they were all offering him less money than what he was making. Eventually, the phone stopped ringing and e-mails stopped coming in.

Elizabeth went back to working six days a week to pick up the slack and cover the bills. When Shawn realized that she was bringing in more than he was before he got fired, he stopped looking for work. He started going out with his friends, hanging out at bars, and spending money as fast as Izzy was making it. Izzy didn’t mind stepping up and helping out with everything if it weren’t for the fact that Shawn was still expecting her to cook, clean, and take care of everything in the house when she got off work in the morning.

She would get home around four in the morning and usually find the apartment a mess with bottles thrown about and cigarettes put out everywhere. Shawn and his friends would be passed out in different places throughout the apartment. Instead of going to bed to get some rest,
