Chapter 1-"Where Is Your Heart?"
Now living together,Reba and her boyfriend Jack were seriously dating.He wanted to get married,but she thought it would be better to wait.After her divorce from Brock,she was afraid to go that far again.It was just a scary thing to her.She was also afraid of commiting herself to this man for the rest of her life.He scared her. Of course,nobody knew.She was always known as the tough gal,she never wanted anyone to see her cry.
They had been living together for five months now.Jack even moved into Reba's room with her,which made her uncomfortable.She was always nervous,thinking of what he might try and do.
Of course,they always had small fights over burnning the toast,forgetting to get the mail,and simple things like that.They were now in another fight.
They were sitting in the bed watching television when the power went out."Reba".Annoyed she asked, "What"."Did you pay the bill this month"."Nope,you were supposed to".
"So you are saying this is my fault",Jack asked in an angry tone."Yeah,I payed last month and the rest of this months bills"."Reba"!"You only wanna blame me for everything".
She walked away."Dont walk away from me when Im talking to you",he ran to her and grabbed he arm."Let me go",she said pulling away.He tightened his grip and she pushed him back to get away.He pushed her, causing her to fall down the stairs.
He ran to get to her,"Reba,Reba talk to me".She was waking up.He picked her up and layed her gently down on the couch."Leave me alone",she said sitting up."Honey",he tried to put his arm around her.She just got up and walked away.
Turning back and looking at him,she saw he looked as innocent as a puppy.The many thoughts raced through her mind as to what to do.She loved him,but she couldnt take him anymore.
She got in the car and drove around for a while.About dark she decided to just go home.She walked into the house and went into the bedroom.She shut the door and Jack came out from behind it.
Reba jumped,"What are you doing".He gave her that look and picked her up and layed her on the bed.He postitioned himself on top of her.Reba finally knew what was going on.She fought back yelling "No".
"Damnit get off of me",she pushed him back.He was just too strong for her."Jack,please dont do this to me".She was starting to get a little scared.She couldnt hold him off any longer.She could only scream no,and he just wouldnt take it.
