Chapter 1.
"If you ever leave me I will kill myself!"
Kelly coward into a corner as Bill came towards her, face red, foaming at the mouth, she thought that this is it, this is how it's going to end for me. Kelly then blacked out.
2 Hours Later.
"Finally your awake" Bill said, is this a dream Kelly thought but no the blood was still running down her face and the bruises still on her wrists.
"I love you you know, you know I don't mean to hurt you but you know you deserve it, I've got to go to work now, Ill see you tonight, bye" Bill left the apartment and Kelly was straight onto the phone to her best friend Michelle.
"I have to get out of here but I just don't know what to do" Kelly sighed as she bandaged up her face.
"You could always skip the country, leave here and go where that prick will never think to find you" Michelle also sighed as history was repeating itself over the phone.
"You know he checks my credit cards, and bank accounts there is no way I could get away with that"
Silence on the phone.
"I'll do it, I will book you a flight to where ever you want to go" Anticipation laced Michelle's voice as she waited for Kelly to say something.
"I do have an uncle living in America, but thats too expensive because I will have to get a flight from Auckland to Los Angeles then on to Seattle, I am looking at least a day's travel, thats not fast enough for me"
"Honey, that may be your only choice"
"Ok, ok lets do it, but we need a plan and we need to think quick, I have to be gone by the end of the week" Kelly was beginning to feel nervous but excited of the thought of leaving behind the monster that scars her everyday.
The girls decided that next time Bill had to leave the city on business that was when they were going to get Kelly out of there, flights from Auckland to LA were schedualed to go out in the afternoon then a day layover in Los Angeles.
3 Days Later.
Bill woke Kelly up at 7am, he was hungry and wanted breakfast.
"I am going out of town today, i'll be gone for 3 days, I want this place spotless by the time I get back, you should eat while I am gone you look sick" he looked at her with an evil gleam in his eye, he knows the hold he has on her, and it gives him great pleasure to see the pain that Kelly is in.
After breakfast Kelly was trembling with excitement, she was itching to ring Michelle to give her the go ahead, Michelle had arranged for a ticket where she can make a last minute booking.
At 12pm Friday 11th February Michelle picked Kelly up from her flat, Kelly had packed all her belongings, she did not have much as Bill chose what she could buy. Kelly donated to Michelle what she could not take with her.
At 4pm Kelly was on her way to Los Angeles away from her nightmare on he way to something new, something better.
The sun shone through the plane windows as it set on her old life.
Los Angeles.
Kelly took a deep breath as she left the airport, Michelle had arranged for Kelly to a night staying at a hotel close by. Kelly checked in and went to have a lie down before her next flight that was the next day.
Kelly had left New Zealand in such a rush she had not bothered to ring her uncle, she hoped he was alright with her just turning up on the door step.
