Harmony Wells’

Home

Harmony was emotionally and physically drained. Today made her so exhausted.

The truth had set her free, but it also sucked everything she had out of her. Coming home from the Hoover Building, she parked in her garage, headed upstairs, and took a long, hot shower.

In there, she thought about it all.

The hardest part about pulling the scab off a raw wound was that as she stood there, in the water, she saw the rape in her mind.

She felt it all over again.

She lived it over.

The whole thing had stripped her bare and made her empty and raw.

This was hard for her.

In her life, there were a few constants.

She would be one of the boys, she was badass and tough, and she kept that incident close to her vest in shame. Now it was out, and while she felt better at first, at home, alone, and scared, she only wanted to escape it.

Where would she run?

Where would she be safe enough?

Nowhere.

So, she struggled. Maybe coming home had been a bad idea. Maybe she should have gone to the firing range, shot off some rounds, and went to the office.

Being alone…sucked.

That was why she rarely spent time here but to sleep and shower. It reminded her of her past, and how after she’d been violated, she came home to the silence.

The degradation.

The horror.

After that day, nothing had ever been right for her. She’d lost everything, and she’d run.

She was a coward.

Now she would live it all over again.

Heading into her kitchen, she put on a pot of coffee, and stared at the drip as it brewed.

With each one, she wept.

That old wound festered.

At that moment, she wanted to curl up into a ball and weep over the whole thing.

“I can do this,” she whispered, battling for control of her life. “I can survive anything.”

She had no choice.

There was, again, no one to save her.
