“Sarah too, if you can’t keep your pretty littlerid of both of you” He rubs hly, I have to holdHe makeslike this I think of Sarah and s hard

Sarah, ht of her I won’t let her be hurt because of me He’s serious I can see it written all over his face I know for a fact he has connections I help seal those connections I shaketo understand

“Do you understand me Eleanor?” Chet seethes

I say nothing, I just nod I have to get away fro on his desk, it’s hard with hirip the they won’t do et away… alive That realization falls over me, I could die

“Say it Eleanor!” Chet’s voice rises

“II won’t say anything” I stutter

“Good girl” He s in me and it pisses me off I count to three silently and take a deep breath I use all my

force to stab Chet in his stomach with one of his keys and push off him

“You bitch!”

I take off running, grabbingour scuffle

“Stop right this fucking minute Eleanor!”

I don’t look back as he yells for me to stop I run as hard and as fast as I can out of his office to the elevator and down to the first floor I take off out the doors to the parking garage I realize his keys are still clutched in my hand Fuck it His car is closer than et in and lock the sleek, silver car I don’t even care I start it and back out of his spot Baker painted on the stu spot What a piece of shit I think to myself I start to drive off as Chet steps out of the door Anger is seeping from his face as he yells, what I don’t know What I do know is, It’s quite scary seeing hi I’ve never seen him mad

As I drive towards ho at a red light It’s from Chet and it has me scared to even breathe

“You will enjoy spending the rest of your days withwhatever he wants froer needed he’ll discard of you Maybe I’ll throw Sarah in too A two for one deal”

He’s damn crazy I don’t put it past him to know someone like this Some of the wealthiest ht a gli with them I realize what I have to do to protect Sarah I must leave town Maybe I can persuade her to come too Doubtful I have to leave and fast Daain I know I a down one numb

I pull onto the dirt road leading up to our driveway As I turn in, I notice Sarah’s car is there

“Great, et her to just leave with me” I say out loud to no one

I put the car in park and shut off the engine No point in taking out the keys so I leave theht away

“Eleanor! What is wrong?”

“Sis there’s so much, I can’t explain I need to leave Please come with me”

My eyes plead with her All I see back in her eyes is confusion

“Really Eleanor, what is going on?” She calls after me as I makeand start shoving clothes inside of it

“Eleanor! What are you doing?” Sarah yells

Itthe duffle I brush past her to go into the bathroo and she answers almost immediately “Hey baby”
