Hailey drove for 4 hours. Stopping only for coffee and red bull. She knew if she stopped to sleep, he would find her and surely kill her. When Hailey pulled up in front of the house she let out a sigh of relief. She was safe.

*Knock Knock*

Hailey stood there for a moment, hoping he had no idea where she was.

*Knock Knock*

"Do you realize what time…."

Hailey jumped by the jerk of the door.

"Hey Dom." She whispered.

"Hales."

Dom was stunned and pulled her into his arms. She relished in his embrace but tensed by the pain. Feeling her tense against him, he pulled away and just looked at her as she looked down at the ground.

"What are you doing here Hales?" asked Dom stepping aside and tugging her to come in.

"I… umm.."

"Hales… what happened to your face?" growled Dom. "Did he do this?"

"Please Dom." Whispered Hailey feeling the tears well up. "I left him. I ran away. Please just let it go."

"I'll kill him if he shows his face here."

"I know. I just want to be safe."

"You are now." Sighed Dom pulling her into his arms. "You are always welcome home."

"Can I just go to bed?"

"Uhh.. The couch will have to do tonight. Tomorrow we'll get into the spare room and get you some furniture and settled." He explained.

"What's wrong with my room?"

"Leon is in it."

"Oh."

"Sorry baby girl. You know you're my sister but you know his history. His dad got to him and I had to get him out of there. I know y'alls history. But he's changed a lot."

"It's fine. I'm sure we are both different people now. We can be under the same roof and be civil."

"Ok. Let me get you a blanket and pillow."

"Thanks."

Hailey lied. The moment she heard his name… her heart broke all over again. Leon was the only man to get her. Understand her completely. He knew just how to handle her in every aspect but he hurt her.

"Night Hales. See you in the morning." Said Dom hugging her one more time before heading back to bed.

"Night."

Haley laid on the couch, trying to sleep for the first time in a long time but couldn't. She laid there in her head just thinking about the past. She was relieved to be home but scared to face Leon after so long. She was giving herself a headache so she sat up and put her headphones on and listened to her iPad. She never felt so relieved at the fact that she kept pricey items in her bag for safety.

She froze momentarily hearing movement upstairs. Multiple footsteps. She watched the stairs waiting. Down came a straggling women pawing at a man as he rushed her toward the door.

"You are so sexy Leon." She said.

"Thanks. There is a cab waiting." He chuckled.

"Don't forget about me… Call me."

"Uh huh."

Leon scooted her out the door, quickly closing it behind her. He sighed with relief when she was finally gone. As he turned toward the kitchen he froze at the sight of her.

"Hailey…" he said breathy.

"Leon."
