*FLASHBACK(ON THE NIGHT OF VICTORIA’S BIRTHDAY PARTY)*Elena was in her own world.She lay on her bed with her headset on, music pouring into her ears loud enough to block out everything else. Her eyes were closed. Her feet were crossed at the ankle. She was completely immersed in her own world.The headset was yanked off her head. Elena’s eyes flew open.Victoria stood over her, dangling the headset above her head with a wide grin on her face. “Ughhh. You are always like this.”“Victoria.” Elena sat up. “Give it back.”“No.” Victoria took a step back, still grinning. “If you want it, you are going to have to come and get it.”Victoria was taller. She knew it and she was using it. She held the headset just high enough for Elena to struggle. Elena stood up and reached for it and Victoria moved it higher and they went back and forth like that for a few seconds until Elena jumped for it and caught Victoria’s arm instead and they both toppled sideways onto the bed.They burst out laughing

Fifteen minutes later the heat came.It started at the back of her neck and spread quickly. She felt dizzy.She found Victoria in the crowd and touched her arm."Victoria." Her voice came out hoarse and disoriented. "I don't feel good."Victoria looked at her. "Already? You didn't even drink that much." She took Elena's arm gently. "Come on. I booked rooms for the night. I will take you to lie down."She guided Elena away from the bar, away from the pool, toward the doors that led back inside the hotel. Elena leaned into her slightly, grateful, trusting.They moved through the doors and into the hallway that was filled with a series of rooms. The music faded behind them.Victoria stopped."Oh no." She pressed her hand to her forehead. "I forgot to tell the girls something important. I have to go back for just a second."Elena turned to look at her. The hallway was tilting slightly. "Vic, don't leave me alone. I feel really strange.""Room 801," Victoria said, already stepping back tow

Elena locked her bedroom door and leaned against it.Her hand went straight to her chest. Her heart was beating so fast it was almost embarrassing. She pressed her palm flat against it like she could slow it down by force.She walked to the mirror and looked at herself.Her cheeks were still red. She touched her lips slowly and the whole kiss came rushing back. The way he had moved between her upper lip and her lower lip without rushing, like he had decided to take his time and nothing was going to change that. His hand on her waist. The other one wrapped against the side of her neck. The way her knees had simply stopped working.She pressed her fingers against her mouth.It didn't help.She stood there for a full minute letting her heart do whatever it wanted. Then the smile on her face began to fade on its own.Reality dawned on her. She had a purpose, she had a list of people who had taken things from her that she intended to get back. A kiss, however much her body had responded to

Patricia’s office door slammed shut behind her with a loud thud. She didn’t stop at her desk. She walked straight past it and kept going, pacing back and forth from the window to the door repeatedly. Her bag was still on her shoulder. She hadn’t even put it down yet and she had been in the room for two full minutes.“How could she know?” She asked no one in particular.Elena’s voice came back to her, she had dropped a bombshell on her. It felt as though Elena was threatening her. “I will make sure your daughter rots in jail for drugging me. You think I wouldn’t find out? Relax. I will send you right along with her. A mother and daughter should always be together. Don’t you think so?”Patricia pressed her lips together.“Who told her,” she said. “Who could have possibly told her.”She moving and stood in the middle of the floor and stared at the wall, a flashback flooded her mind. *FLASHBACK*The front door opened. Elena came through it without looking at anyone, her head down, her

The car moved through the evening traffic and Elena sat with her hands in her lap quietly throughout the ride. She was occupied with her own thoughts..‘Why did she freeze back there’She had asked herself. She remembered how every muscle in her froze despite her desperate urge to fight, she felt grateful that the driver was present if not she didn't know what would have gone down at the park.She took a slow breath and let it out, she suddenly grabbed the camera that had been given to her by the driver. She turned it on, the camera had recorded everything. She stared at the video with thoughts on whether to watch it or not, she finally tapped the play button on the screen. The video started from when she had walked, when she got to the part where George was assaulting her, her voice pleading for him to stop. She quickly turned it off, her hands were shaking.She calmed herself down, despite the ugly scene that played out she decided to take this as a win because she had the video t
