Revealing the Truth

Chapter 1

Pulling into a narrow side street on the edge of the small town, Bo shuts off the engine of her faded red 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback. Sitting there for a moment she thinks about what shopping is needed for the next week. Realising that she's left her list at home, she starts to verbalise what she needs.

"Bread, milk, eggs, cheese, ice cream, butter, sugar, noodles – lots of noodles. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet roll." Finishing her new mental list, Bo's mind starts to drift as to why she ended up in such a small town in the heart of England. 9 weeks is how long she's been here. 9 weeks is how long it's been since that night with Sean. The thought of that night makes her shudder. "Has it really been only a couple of months? It seems so much longer than that." She starts to think about that horrible night again; the one that haunts her dreams, giving her restless nights.

Whilst sitting on her sofa watching "The Big Bang Theory" Bo's phone had started to ring. Looking at the caller I.D that said "Sean" Bo knew it was her boyfriend. Smiling she answered the phone. "Hey babe. How's your day been?" "Hey to you too! It's been a pretty boring day at work if I'm honest. But that doesn't matter because I'm taking you out for dinner, so make sure you're ready for 7pm" he cheerfully replied to her. "umm… okay? Do I need to be smart or casual?" Bo was confused by his sudden spontaneity but she was willing to appease him. "Just be yourself, you're always beautiful no matter what you wear! Any way I need to run I've just got to the car. Bye Beautiful" He hung up before Bo even got a chance to reply. "Well that was odd" she thought, then looked at the clock to see it was 5:45pm. "Shit." She practically ran to the bathroom when she realised that there was just over an hour to get ready.

By 6:50pm Bo was dressed in black half cotton, half leather look leggings, black boots, a simple purple shirt that was cut so you could see a fair amount of cleavage. And her infamous black leather jacket. Her hair was down and hung in loose curls, while her makeup included dark eye shadow, eye liner and some mascara. After checking over her outfit one final time, she decided to get a glass of water and wait for Sean to pick her up.

When the doorbell rang Bo jumped up and practically ran to the door. Once she had opened it, her breath hitched as she looked at Sean shocked. He was wearing a plain black button up shirt with a dark grey suit jacket and simple black jeans. His normally untamed brown hair was jelled back and he had groomed himself so that his stubble was oh so sexy! Bo looked up at his hazel green eyes after seeing the single red rose he held, they were looking back at her lovingly. "oh wow, how I could get lost in those eyes" she thought, but was brought out it when Sean cleared his throat and asked if she was ready to go. Bo nodded still unable to speak for the time being. He handed her the rose and held out his arm for her to take.

"We're going to be walking to the restaurant, it's only about 10 minutes away" Sean said to her. Bo looked up at him with adoration in her eyes, smiled and nodded, then let her head rest on his shoulder as they walked.

Two hours later…

Bo and Sean stood up after he had paid for the food. They started to walk slowly down the street when Sean suddenly stopped. Bo looked at him confused as he turned her to face him. "I'm not very good with words Bo, so I'm just going to say it." Bo started to feel nervous."Is he going to end it between us?" He saw the look of sadness creep up on Bo's face. "It's nothing bad Bo!" he chuckled and when he saw her face relax he continued "we've been seeing each other for a while now and I've come to realise just how much I am falling in love with you. I just... I..." Bo could see that he was nervous so she grabbed his hands in hers. "It's okay Sean" He smiled at her with and with a little bit of new found courage he continued "Bo, what I'm trying to say is… Iwantyoutomoveinwithme" Sean said the last part so fast that Bo didn't understand a single word. "Sorry what?" she replied. Sean took a deep, calming breath and said again "I. Want. You. To. Move. In. With. Me."

It took a second for Bo to register what it was that Sean was saying. Then it clicked. Sean watched her as the biggest smile he's ever seen appeared on her face. She grabbed him by the lapels of his jacket and kissed him deeply. "YesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesYES!" she replied. Then she kissed him again more gently. After that they walked home and made love for the first time in their relationship.

Bo woke up the next morning in the best mood she could ever remember being in. Her boyfriend had taken her out for a romantic dinner, asked her to move in with him and given her the best sex she's ever had in her life. She felt Ah-May-Zing! Bo knew that Sean would be behind her so she rolled over, but what she saw terrified her. He was whiter than a ghost. His eyes were wide open but had no sparkle...no life in them and when she touched him, he was colder than ice. Then the memories of the night before hit her. They were both close to climax when her inner monster took control. She had pinned him to the bed and had started to pull his life-force from him. She looked at him in horror, she knew she was going to kill him but she couldn't stop the inner monster. Once she had finished sucking him dry she came to her senses for a split second before falling into unconsciousness.

Finally the memory faded and Bo broke down in tears, collapsing onto the steering wheel of her mustang. After what felt like an eternity she managed to calm herself down. "Screw going shopping now" she thought as she turned the ignition key, the engine roared to life. She turned the car around in someone's driveway and drove the three miles home to her large shack in the middle of nowhere. When she first found the shack she named it 'Crack Shack Mk2.' It reminded her of the shack she had back in Canada. As much as this shack had A LOT less holes and actually had some solid glass windows in its walls, it still didn't feel as homely as her old shack. However at the moment she didn't care, she just wanted to slip into an old T-shirt and a pair of flannel pyjama bottoms, fall into her bed and sleep away the exhaustion that the memory had left her with.

A.N: Hey guys, sorry that most of this is a flashback I didn't really know where to begin with it being my first fanfic. But it helped me when it comes to the rest of the story. The first few chapters might be a bit slow to read, they introduce Lauren and explain how Bo and her meet and get to know each other. rated K for the moment and might *cough* will *cough* get steamy in later chapters. Also I don't have a beta so if anyone thinks I could improve anywhere please let me know in reviews? :) thanks for reading!
