I've finally done it! I think to myself as I lay in bed day dreaming. I've created a life for myself abuse free. I can't help congratulating myself for getting away from my abusive father, and moving to a completely different city. The thing is when I turned 18 I couldn't wait to high tail it right out of the hell hole I grew up in. Now a few years later I'm finally in a place I feel I can call home. I'm all by myself and I love it. I've sworn off men content with being alone because I will never allow myself to be abused again. I vowed long ago to never fall in love. I've had a crazy couple of days though I met james at my bar, and he is determined to find out who I am. Tall, gorgeous tan skin, red hair, muscles for days, and amazing ocean eyes is making that vow pretty hard to keep. Fuck!
