Chapter 22

~Sarah~

I thrust my fist into the punching bag. Argh! Just like the last four times, it has absolutely no impact. No dent. Nothing. Well, at least it’s helping me to get my frustrations out through being physical. Physically violent. Who knew I had that in me? Usually I’m a very calm person.

But with everything that’s happened lately, I guess it has changed something in me.

I’d thought that the awful helpless and powerless feeling I’d experienced during my time with my asshole ex, Eddie, had been firmly entrenched in the past. I’d been living my own way and on my own terms for years and I hadn’t felt that way in all that time.

Until that night he’d walked back into my life, into my diner.

The moment that’d happened, it’d seemed as if those feelings had never really left me. I’d felt helpless again and powerless against him. Weak and submissive.

Him coming into my home and attacking me had been such a huge violation. It’d really shaken me up. But I had managed to rally some power. I’d stabbed him. I’d stopped him. In that moment, something had shifted in me.

It was Zeb. His influence over me. I don’t know how, but he just somehow brings out this fire in me. He sparks a no-nonsense attitude within me. For goodness sake, in my attempt to protect him at the safe house, I had a gun in my hand! Me. I fired a gun and then pistol-whipped my ex with it. The past version of me—the girl from a few years ago—would never have even considered doing something like that. It’s become clear to me that the scared little girl from before is now a stranger to this new me.

But now I need to learn how to use this new fiery conviction.

Now I have the strength to stand up and refuse to be bullied. To refuse to take that abuse. Now I have that, I just need the know-how. That was made clear to me that night at the safe house when I didn’t have the means to protect Zeb, to fight with him.

Maybe if I had…no…I can’t go there.

Oh God. He’s in so much pain.

He let me in during our garage confrontation and the extremely intense sex that’d followed.

But since then he’s just shut down again. He’s had a smile on his face, but I know it hasn’t been real. He’s been faking that he’s okay.

I think I know why.

He thinks I’m too much of a good girl to be able to deal with the dark aspects of his world. He’s clearly failed to recall what I’d told him about what I’ve been through with my ex. The things he put me through were as dark as could be. Sure, Zeb’s issues with narcotics are a different type of darkness, but it’s still a similar sort of thing. I know how it is to feel trapped in the dark with no hope. Just pain and more pain. I can help him.

I’d planned to talk to him today, but I’d woken up to find him gone and a note on my pillow.
