Chapter 8
He was running after her, the pounding of his feet on the floor of the hallway echoed in her head. Her heart rate sped up as she felt him grab her around the waist. He was much stronger than she was and she couldn't get out of his grip. He clapped a hand over her mouth to keep her quiet as he brought her back to his apartment.
'No one runs away from ME sweetie.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vanni's eyes shot open and she sat up. She tried to calm herself down. Why was she having dreams about him again? "Him" was Johnny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He had been her savior; he was also the reason why she lost touch with Bosco. He had kept her safe, though, and away from her father. The first two months with him were like Heaven on Earth for her. Then he became hooked on coke again. Her heaven became a dark hell after that.
She had been living in his apartment for the time they were going out and one night, Johnny came home from his job, or so she thought. He was furious and grabbed Vanni off of the couch, throwing her against the wall. She tried not to cry, but the tears couldn't keep from flowing. They continued to leak from the corners of her closed eyes as his hand flew across her face. She would never be the same after that night. That night that Johnny beat and raped her so bad, leaving her close to death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She started crying, sitting alone on the couch in Ty's apartment. She had no clue what time it was, but was pleasantly surprised when Ty came walking through the apartment door. He was immediately at her side.
"What's wrong?" he whispered into her hair. He had his arms wrapped around her, but she just stayed silent and stiff. He pulled away, sensing her tense nature.
"You want to talk about it?" he asked her, while pushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear.
At first, all she did was stare at the floor, but she felt so safe in his presence that she decided to tell him the whole story. When she was done, she started crying again, collapsing into Ty's warm arms.
"Don't worry...I will NEVER let anyone hurt you like that again. I'm here for you whenever you need me, no matter what."
She cried for a little while longer and then pulled away from him, wiping her eyes. They stared at each other until they both leaned closer, their lips meeting. Ty could sense Vanni was hesitating and he reassuringly rubbed her back, which made her more calm. They continued kissing and for that moment, Vanni forgot about all her problems. Every single bad thing that had happened to her in her past was erased from her memory and replaced with images of Ty.
They finally broke the kiss which had seemed to last a lifetime. Vanni rested her head against Ty's chest, falling into her first peaceful sleep in a long time. Ty kept his arms protectively around her as he fell asleep not long after she did.
This was how life was supposed to be.
