Chapter One
Waking up to a new city and trying to live life for myself; my name is Hannah Bailey, I'm 22 years old I just moved to Manhattan. It's only two weeks since I buried my mom but instead of grief I feel relieved. I know it sounds cold but when you see the person you love going through domestic abuse and can't do anything about it it breaks you. My mom was abused both emotionally and physically by my step dad and it by his hands that she left this world and me her only child.
Don't feel sad for me I still have a bright future ahead of me I'm only 22 and because of my mom's college friend Rebecca I got a job most people would kill for. It's Friday and I start work at Lite Communications Company on Monday as the Personal Assistant to the CEO of the company. I've been told that he is very hard to please but I hope that my degree in Communications and part time job at the local newspaper and my work ethic can keep me employed.
I hear the sound of my phone ringing. "Hello" I answer my friend from college Kimberly is on the other end of the line." Are you coming out with us tonight? She asks. I hesitated for a moment. "Come on it will be fun" she begged. "Ok" I gave in. " I'll pick you up at eight and wear something cute." She ended the call. I wonder what these girls have in mind. It's already six thirty. I take a shower and looking through my things I find a sexy black off shoulder dress which compliments my figure just right. I'm a little on the curvy side with shoulder length brunette hair which I let loose in curls to frame my face. I add some light makeup and a pair of black stilettos. By the time I'm done it's 7:55pm. I make my way to the lobby downstairs to save Kim from coming up. She's right on time as always. We pull up to a club with XOTIC in neon lights and Beck and Trish are waiting outside for us. This will be one epic night!
