I stumble from the reception area and out the exit door; the fresh night breeze hits my face. I inhale it into my lungs, promising myself this was the last time that man will ever touch me. If he ever tries again I will kill him myself.

I jump into a taxi after it drops someone off. I give the driver the address for Drew’s bar and close my eyes as he drives me there.

I’m almost asleep when he says, “We’re here, sweetheart.”

My eyes flutter open, and pulling the handle on the car door I scoot out. “I just need to go and get some money.”

He opens his door and comes around to me. “You okay, sweetheart? Let me help you.” He grips my elbow and helps me into the bar. The doors are open and I’m grateful I don’t have to knock. The bar is empty except for Drew who’s sitting at the bar with a bottle of whisky. He turns when the door opens. He rushes over to me, taking me from the cab driver. “What are you doing here? I thought they were keeping you overnight.”

“I couldn’t stay there. Have you seen Jared?” He looks down at me with sympathy on his face.

“He left, babe.”

My heart plummets. I knew when he walked away at the hospital I had lost him again, but it still hurts to hear it spoken out loud. I turn to the cab driver. “Would you mind taking me to the airport?”

“Of course not, sweetheart.”

“Drew, can you bring my suitcase out? It’s behind the bar.”

He strokes down my arms. “You sure you don’t want to stay? You’re pretty banged up.”

I shake my head and hurry back out of the bar. I slip into the cab and wait for Drew to bring out my suitcase. He hands the cab driver some money and kisses the top of my head before shutting the door and tapping the roof to signal for the driver to leave.
