Meeting a wolf who is my Saviour

Finally Leaving

I walked over to the bus board and looked. There would be a bus in 15 mins going to Texas. I noticed I was the only one there, I was wishing the time away just so I could get out of this place. Time went quick and the bus pulled in, I climbed aboard and told the driver one way to Texas. I paid him cash then took my seat.

As the bus pulled away I could feel my shoulders relax, I was still in pain with my ribs so I tried to make myself comfortable. I have no idea how long this journey was going to take. I started to relax some and the next thing I knew someone was shaking me lightly,

It was the bus driver, 'miss, miss can you hear me?.

I opened my eyes, 'yes um are we there'?

'No miss we have stopped for a 15 minute pit stop'.

'if you want to get something to eat or a drink or use the bathroom now is the time to do it'. 'It's our only stop'.

'yes thank you i will do that'.

I get up slowy and make my way to the front of the bus, the driver goes into the cafe, I looked around once I got off from the bus then took a breath then went into the cafe. I heard the waitress talk to the driver,

'hi Bill what can I do you for'.

"hi Marlene nice to see you again".

"you to Bill, how have you been"?

"am good Marlene just doing the run" as he laughs

"not busy tonight then"? she laughs

"no only 1 passenger tonight, Can I have a sandwich and a mug of tea please",

"sure thing hun".

I made my way to the toilets and did what I needed to do. I was moving slowly as my ribs were still painful. When i came back out I went to the counter and ordered a sandwich and a cup of coffee.The waitress who I now no the name of smiled at me,

"Go sit down huni I will bring it over to you",

"thanks", i replied.

I found a table and sat down, looking around I saw Bill looking at me he smiled and nodded his head, I smiled back at him and turned to look out the window.

Marlene brought my sandwich and coffee over and I started eating it was heaven, it was a bit uncomfortable because the inside of my cheek was swollen and sore. I picked up my coffee mug and took a sip,

"ouch",

I looked over at Bill and he was looking at me, I just turned away and carried on eating and trying to drink my coffee.

As I was drinking the last bit of my coffee, I heard

"lovely as always Marlene thanks so much see you again in a couple of days",

"yeh sure Hun, you are welcome see you again soon", Marlene replied.

I got up and took my cup over to the counter, I smiled at Marlene.

"thank you" I said.

"your very welcome huni".

I walked outside the cafe and entered the bus. I took my seat and waited for Bill to get started. Within a couple of minutes the bus was on the move. I felt alot better after having some food and a hot drink, I made myself comfy in the chair and settled down. After a few minute I looked up as Bill spoke.

"Hey! as you know now my name is Bill".

I just stared at him then turned my head away. There was silence for a few minutes, then he spoke again.

"You don't have to speak to me but it is a very long drive and just thought a bit of light conversation would pass the time".

I just sat there not knowing what to say to him. I just looked out the window but all I could see was my reflection staring back at me.

"look im not going to bite you".

I didn't look at him

"well if you do want to talk just let me know".

I just sat quietly thinking about my life I was running from, trying to dig deep inside wandering when in my marriage it started to go wrong.

As I was sitting there thinkng back the lull of the bus sent me to sleep.

I went back to the day when Donna came into our lives.

In one way she saved me. Silly I know but at least while she was around the beatings became less, as Damon was out with her most nights. It was only a few nights in the week he would come home drunk and cause me harm. Some nights he was to drunk and just fell asleep.

Damon had many affairs. I first noticed it after he had a Business meeting one night. He said I couldn't go, wives werent allowed. I had been in bed sleeping when I had felt something caressing my face. When I woke I saw Damon sitting on the side of the bed. I had turned slighlty to turn on the bedside light. He smelt strongly of alchol. That was when I noticed lipstick on his shirt collar. He tried kissing me but I pushed him away. He got up and walked over to the walk in wardrobe.

My heart was racing as I couldn't think clearly. I pulled back the bed covers and got up and walked over to were he was. I stood there then asked him why there was lipstick on his collar.

He blantly told me he had been with someone, I couldn't believe he just came out and told me without evening trying to hide it. We ended up in a heated argument, that was when he lashed out at me. He walked over to me and hit me so hard I fell to the floor. But it didn't end there. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me up all the while calling me abusive names, before he threw me onto the bed. He stalked towards me and stood over looking down at me. Tears were coming down hard and fast from me eyes. He then kneeled on the bed and straddled me, Before slapping me again and again. Shouting at me to never question what he does.

He called me a w***e then tore my night gown. That night he took what he wanted. Not caring as to how it made me feel. I cried and begged him to stop, but he just want rougher and more insane. After he had finished he rolled over and fell asleep.

I just laid there crying endlessly, Sobbing, my body sore, my face stinging, I couldn't feel my legs. I couldn't believe he had raped me.
