*Stephanie's Diary*

My God! Who could do that? I mean, I've done some pretty screwed up stuff in my life, but I have never done something like that! I find it hard to believe that someone could be so evil and malicious as to send a fake videotape to my own mother and husband saying that I was a liar and was, in fact, not pregnant at all!! I am pregnant!! With Hunter's child, I might add. How could he ever believe I would ever lie about something so serious?? This isn't some little white lie about someone's appearance or gossip we're talking about here . . . we're talking about a human life!!! I refuse to believe that Hunter and my mother would think I was capable of something like that.

You know, Hunter scares me . . . he really does. I've lost count of the number of fights we've gotten into, or the number of bruises I've gotten from him. I've lost count of the times I've called Shane in the middle of the night: either from out front of bars where Hunter has either left me or when he's too busy or too drunk to notice me. Or from our apartment when Hunter's lost his temper and hit me so hard that I can hardly walk to the table and pick up the phone. I've probably given Shane more gray hairs than Dad, Mom, and this business combined. And I feel terrible . . . I really do. Shane's my big brother, and he shouldn't have to worry about me, in addition to work, Mom and Dad, and his own life. I love Shane so much, and I don't know how he puts up with someone like me for a little sister . . .

Shane's told me time and again . . . I should leave Hunter and find someone who really cares about me. A "Prince Charming", Shane calls it. "A princess like you needs a guy who treats her like a princess should be treated . . . not like his own personal punching bag."

Shane's always saying that, but what can I really do?? If I left Hunter, Daddy'd never believe the reason why. Then I'd just get dragged back into it. Or worse, Hunter would go after me himself, and make my life even more of a living hell than it is now. I wish I could stay with Shane. He'd protect me . . . he always has. But someday, a girl has to make her own life for herself. One with a prince of her own choosing. I used to think Hunter was my prince . . . but what kind of a prince beats up his princess??
