Chapter 7

"Hey honey. How was work? I made your favorite pot roast." Gaven slumped in a chair at the dinner table as his fresh faced fiancé glided into the room carrying two plates of food. He watched her as she walked back into the kitchen. Her dress was classy and hugged her curves. She came back with a bottle of wine in one hand and beer in the other. Gaven gestured towards the beer and she graciously removed the cap and set it down in front of him. He watched her as she sat down across from him, studying her, noticing that she had a small hickey on the side of her neck. Anger flourished inside of him as he downed his beer. His love, without being told headed back into the kitchen and came back with a couple more beers and set them down on the table for him. "Rough night?" She asked him. Funny, she thought that he was upset because of something that happened at work, never mind the fact that she was a cheating whore. He reached towards her and moved her hair away from her neck, revealing the mark more clearly. "What happened here?" He asked her, his voice flat with no suggestion to his rage. A small smile grew upon her face, providing fuel to the fire that was growing within him. "You left that little reminder last night." She said, still smiling at him. Gaven shook his head, looking down at his food. "No I didn't." He said. She leaned closer to him. "Remember, you were kissing my neck and you whispered in my ear and…"

Suddenly her world went black and white as the back of Gaven's hand met her cheek with incredible force. Such force, she was sent flying backward, hitting the wall. Tears welled into her eyes as Gaven's blurred image came near. She tried to crawl away but his strong hands wrapped around her ankle and pulled her back towards him. "WHO HAVE YOU BEEN SLEEPING WITH?!" He yelled. She cried, "Only you! Only ever you!" The second hit sent her mind spinning. Tears fell freely as he yelled at her again. "WHO!?"

"Only you. I swear it's only ever been you." This time when he tried to hit her she raised her hands to shield herself but Gaven gripped her wrists and pinned her down. "DON'T YOU LIE TO ME ALEX!" He growled with his face inches from her. "YOU'RE A LYING, CHEATING WHORE! AM I NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU? IS THAT IT?" Alex whimpered and cried, unable to move beneath him. "Gaven, please…stop. You're hurting me." His grip tightened on her as he pulled up her dress. "I'll show you how much of a man I am." He snarled. Alex wriggled beneath him, trying to get free. This was her fiancé. He had promised to protect her, to cherish and to never treat her badly. She had only ever imagined being with him through acts of love, never like this. "Gaven please!" She cried, "Stop." Unable to get away she had to let Gaven have his way.

Alex shot up in bed, eyes wide, heart pounding and breath heavy. Seeing the blue walls and white curtains she forced herself to breathe and calm down. It had been a while since she had that dream; the dream about the first time Gaven hit her. She draped her legs over the side of the bed and steadied herself. She was relieved and proud that she wasn't as shaky as she used to be. After taking a moment she grabbed some clothes and went to take a shower. She stood under the warm water, allowing it to wash away her nerves and relax her muscles. She pushed thoughts of the far past and brought forward her date with Brian. She had learned that he used to race cars with Dom, he used to be married but had lost his wife and that he had a very interesting past but he did not go into the details of it. She couldn't blame him; if she wasn't willing to go into certain details why should he? She caught herself remembering how it felt to be in his arms when they had danced. It felt for lack of a better word…safe, and that realization stunned her. Ever since she escaped Gaven's wrath she hadn't allowed anyone in close enough on that level. She had been with one person since Gaven; that man was now dead. Since then she hadn't allowed anyone that close but now she found herself wondering if she could ever allow herself that luxury again. Gaven hadn't found her. She doubted he knew where she was or where she had headed given that she had lied through her teeth to so many people so no one would truly know where she went. For now, she decided she would see where things went and at the very least, try to learn to trust Brian and the Toretto family.

She headed out with the intent of catching the bus into town. She wanted to buy pieces so that she could make a three-fold divider. She had the other day when she had gone out for her run that her curtains were a little see-through and she wanted to make something that she could change behind. Her ability to make a variety of things from scratch had irritated Gaven. Nowadays she found it more pleasurable.

"Hey Alex!" She heard from down the road and turned to see Letty waving at her from her car. "Where're you headed?"

"Hardware store."

"Get it. I'll give you a ride. The auto shop is next door." Alex smiled and thanked her as she got in the car. Letty didn't drive quite like Brian. She pushed the pedal to the floor and soon they were flying down the highway. "What do you need from the hardware store?" Letty asked her. Alex explained what she was going to try to do. Letty smiled at her, seemingly impressed. "You're perfect for Brian." She said.

Alex appeared a little confused. "What do you mean?"

"Brian's the kind of guy who like a woman who's self-sufficient and from what I do know about you, you're perfect."

"I…I don't know."

Letty pulled into a parking spot and looked over to Alex. "Look, no matter what your past is, Brian likes you and you seem like a nice enough person. Brian's my brother in-law and he has pretty good judgment. So do I. It's been a long time since I've seen him smile the way he did when he came home the other night. Long story short. He likes you and you're the kind of girl he needs. Don't break his heart okay." She got out of the car and looked at Alex over the hood.

Alex got out and looked at Letty, a little stunned. "I don't want to hurt him Letty."

"Good, then we won't have any problems." She teased. "Meet you here in twenty minutes."
