Great, Alex thought grumpily as she woke up, how do I hide all these bruises, I still can't believe he came back................................

Flashback(********)

"Hang on, I'm coming" Who the hell would be here at this hour,she wondered as she opened the door.

"Deryk" she gasped, taking a step backwards "What are you doing here, you're not supposed to come near me, or have you forgotten?"

"No Alex I haven't forgotten just came back for some fun, like we were going to"

"Deryk, no" Alex cried backing up, as he advanced on her "Please, don't do this" She was in the kitchen, could feel his hot breath on her face.

"What? You have got to be kidding Alex, after all you put me through you expect me to leave you alone when you ask nicely!!!" He lunged at her knocking her to the ground. This his fist connected with her chest and her head smashed into the counter corner.

End flashback

What am I going to do, I can't tell anybody, it wouldn't help anyway, should I got to work today? Alex thought as she examined the bruises on her chest and back, my ribs are probably just bruised, no reason not to go, no one will know. It'll be fine, I'll just take it easy today, tell Kim I didn't get very much sleep last night, its not exactly lying. Besides if she knew, she'd do something stupid and get herself in trouble. It will all work out...but what if he comes back? Then what will I do? Oh well I'll worry about that later.
