she couldnt stop looking over her sholder. she new she would never be able to walk alone without holding her breath. she would never let him touch her again that was for sure. maggie tossed a magazeene, turkey sandwitch and a bottle of coke onto the front counter. "$6.00 is your change." she glanced at the man barley understanding him. she slapped down a 10 and headed out the door. she checked both ways and saw nothing. no trace of him. even while she walked down the broad sidwalk she couldnt help but feel his moist breaths on her neck and his whisper in her ear, "you wont get away with it this time, remember last time you tried to leave me?" she found herself at a jog. finally she reached the car feeling like she had ran a triathalon. her lungs still burnt from her fight last night. she wasnt sure she could keep doing this. she didnt think he would ever stop. he was standing half the block down with glasses and a newspaper infront of his face. he noticed her heavy breathing and almost laughed aloud at how pathetic she was. he would never stop loving her. he loved her so fiercly that she could never speak to anyone earthly again.... she couldnt, she wouldnt. casually he followed her to her car and moved behind a couple when he saw her starting to turn her head while entering the front seat. "perfect" he smiled.... just perfect. he cool air circled through her car. she didnt even notice. she just had to get away. she bit her lip too hard and it started to bleed. rust spilt through her mouth and covered her tounge. "shit!" she picked up a napkin and patted her tounge."girl, calm down you're going to be fine." she didnt see the van that was following her to the nearest hotel. as the rain picked up. she hardley noticed anyone around.
he was walking in after she got her room. "yes the woman that just walked in here was my wife... did that pretty lady pay already?" he grabbed a spare set of keys and walked to their new room. she turned at the sound of his boot scruffing the cement behind her. "oh my god"
