Calleigh Duquesne was running for her life or rather running from the pain he had caused her. She actually thought he was going to be 'the one'. Some dream that turned out to be... 2 hours previously Calleigh was on her way home from a hard days work and was tired of hearing about why they did what they did and wasnt expecting to have to hear it in her own condo after catching 'her' Jake in bed with another woman Calleigh didnt recognize. She yelled like a southern woman would (i should know :D im a southern girl myself) and ran after jake as he was running for his life from the famous Calleigh temper. She caught him and beat him while the unknown woman jumped on top of her trying to pull the blonde off of her new boyfriend, which just ended with them both on the floor groaning like they had been beatin like there mama should have (i love that saying xDDDD) Calleigh ran to her hummer where the previous events flashed before her eyes, and those beautiful emerald ocean eyes had nothing but pain filled tears in them. She drove to an old friends house trying to call them so as not to wake the children living there.

"You were right Alexx.... hes just as bad as the others! can i please come over and talk to you, i really need someone right now." Calleigh said practically begging.

"sure baby come on over here and ill help you like i should have before this happened. I'll see you real soon shug." Alexx said as she hung up the phone. "Dear lord what has that boy done...."

Calleigh arrived at the Woods home in record time. She sat in the car trying to gain a little of herself before she let it pour out onto her old friend who was really like a mother figure to her. Alexx had seen the lights outside her window and waited to hear the car door shut before running outside and catching Calleigh in a soft, embracing hug. Calleigh couldnt hold back the tears anymore and let them soak into her friends robe. "there there baby... its ok let it out... come on inside and ill get you something to drink." "Thankyou so much Alexx, you have no idea how much this means to me." Calleigh said, her southern accent showing more than usual. Both women walked into the house. It was warm and cozy, spacious but cozy. Calleigh sat on the nearest couch or chair in this case a comphy couch and wiped away what was left of her tears. "sorry i had to wake you up so late its just that, i hate him so much for what he did to me but i still love him" "nonsence baby its okay. and that boy was a scumbag looking for tail in every corner. im suprised this is the first time he did it to you. now tell me.... did you beat him?" Alexx said, the last bit a bit fast and knowing but still curious. "ofcourse i beat him." Calleigh laughed a bit at this.

"okay Cal. i want you to tell me something. who do you feel safest with when you are around them" Alexx said knowing the answer. "uuhhhhh. Eric" Calleigh blushed at this. "then you should go to his house and explain what happened. he will do 1 of 2 choices. or both. 1 he will freak and go looking for the scum or ask you if he can beat him like his mama should have (still lovin it :D). 2 he will hug you and say you can stay the night. or he will do both. "if you say so Alexx. you know your like a 2nd mother right." Calleigh laughed a bit. "i know honey. now get goin before he falls asleep. youll be okay with him. Goodnight shug." Alexx said as she was standing next to the hummer Calleigh was curently sitting in (when did that happen .) Alexx kissed her forehead as a sign that she should go. "Bye Alexx!" "Bye Baby!" they both called as Calleigh drove away. "i hope shes right about this....."
