Growing up in a S.W. Missouri town, she had everything a girl could want. She graduated in the top 10 of her class and had plans to go college and get a degree in business. That was until she met T.J. He was the bad boy, the one that road up on his Harley and swept her off her feet with his great smile and leather jacket...every mom's nightmare.
Things went well for her for a while. T.J. was the greatest guy in the world or so she thought. Every night he would come home later or not at all. His temper go worse and so did the guys he started hanging out with. Bringing them home making her wait on them hand and foot, getting their beers, running for food or smokes. It wasn't long till she couldn't take it anymore and decided she was going to leave him. That was the first night he hit her. Leaving her with a black eye and bloody lip. It went on for 3 long years and several emergency room visits.
She started waiting tables, knowing he couldn't ever know for sure how much she made, putting back an extra 20 or 30 dollars here and there till she had enough saved up to finally get out and make a new start. The night she had packed her bags, she wasn't expecting him to come home. But when she heard the roar of the Harley she knew it was now or never and nothing was going to stop her.
He stormed in the house seeing the stuff in her backseat. She kept outta arms reach and when he lunged she pulled the gun from the waist of her jeans and pulled the trigger. He didn't know that she had been taking self defense classes or started going to the shooting range, he never saw it coming. Looking down at him she knew he wasn't dead, she knew she didn't care if he was, she just wanted out. Before she ran out the door she remembered the duffel bag full of money he had hidden in the closet in the floor board. He owed her, he owed her alot. Looking in it seeing there was at least 50k she grabbed it and jumped in her car and didn't look back.
She got out of the state and changed her name, her hair and a few other things money could buy and hopped from town to town for the next year. Always looking over shoulder, never trusting anyone and never settling down anywhere for more then a couple months at a time. But the City had its perks and it was big enough to get lost in and make a new start.
