The moment Evana kissed Stan back, memories flood her mind once again. The memories of her mother's disapproval of Stan's influence in her daughter's life and her constant complaints that she preferred to die instead of using that dirty money for her treatment.

"Start over your life and get your dignity back. You don't need a dirty man's money to make your living. You still have time to make a better life for you and a future where you won't be ashamed of yourself. You will always be my little girl, but I won't be happy if you won't be either."

Those were some of the words of her mother's final letter to her. Evana cried out as she felt that man's hands on her body and the scent of his perfume causing her nauseas. She needed to stop that cycle, she needed to be strong and determined not to cede to that man's dirty whims. That wasn't love. That wasn't what she needed.

"No!" she yelled out as she pushed him furiously away from her

"What the hell!?" the man spoke in astonishment

"You had your last time. We won't meet ever again!" she spoke fiercely

"You really want to play hard, don't you, bitch?!" he replied angrily steeping closer to her

Evana dodged him, "Nico!" she yelled running to the door trying to unlock

Stan ran after her and took her from behind and carried her and threw her abruptly on the bed "You will be mine weather you like it or not!" he spoke angrily as he tried to ease the woman debating under him

"Nico! Help!" she screamed loud in despair repeatedly

Those were seconds of horror, but it seemed they lasted forever until she heard the click on the door as Nico opened it and stepped in the room, "Let go of her!" the tall and muscular man demanded pointing his gun to Stan

Stan knew he alone had no chance against the securities in the club and immediately let Evana free, who ran away from the room to a safe area without looking back.

Evana cried while she washed her mouth and neck in disgust of Stan's saliva on her skin. However, there was something that nothing could remove the disgusting memories from her mind. They rolled in her head like a stuck horror movie. All of her body trembled and several times, she rested herself on the sink for support. More than ever, she felt alone. She knew no one would care for what happened, and many would even blame her or even tell her she got what she deserved because that was something people like her – who had no dignity- deserved after all. By that time, Yana –her only support- couldn't be with her as she was busy with her own performance at the stage, being praised for the horny monsters.

Evana didn't mind about the blurred makeup, in fact, she started removing it. She could not be the femme fatale anymore. Her natural beauty was revealed slowly as she removed the mask products that turned her into someone she wasn't in essence. The water washed away the mask that fate made her become. However, there was a good feeling after all that horror, the blonde woman was more decided and determined than ever to stop the cycle that started when she was just 20 years old, a cycle that stole her innocence and her dreams. A cycle that took from her the best years of her life, a cycle that blurred her dignity as a human being, a cycle that brought her the loneliness and no respect.

The mirror reflected a broken woman, devastated by the shame, desolated by the destiny. A woman that so many times questioned why she was still alive, why should her live when there was no one left? She had no blood family anymore. She had no children or real friends besides Yana. She knew Yana would be fine without her. The mirror reflected the shadow of a woman that in a desperate move beat the mirror with her delicate hand hurting it. It bled a lot. The red fluid cored on the white sink while she cried even more for the pain to remove any trace of broken parts from her flesh. However, those tears weren't really from the physical pain, actually she didn't feel it hurting at all. That woman was in a stage that no pain was worse than the soul ache. Her body was numb; her soul was empty. How much she wished to die…to forget…

Among all those turbulent moments and thoughts, she had finally remembered for the only one that was bringing herself back, "Chris…" she spoke in a whisperer while tears fell down harder due to her broken heart without a real reason for it since they were just friends, right?

At that moment, she felt it would be a blessing to go through an amnesia like him.

It didn't matter how long had passed, surely it had been a long time. Evana pressed her wound and used a towel to cover it after cleaning it. She was too scared to leave the bathroom. After some time, she heard knocks on the door.

"Sis, are you there?" Yana yelled out from the other side

Hearing the ginger's voice was a relief to her ears. Evana rushed to open the door for her.

Yana's eyes widened in horror after seeing the ugly scenario of the usual so clean bathroom. Broken mirror and blood everywhere, but what really got her horrified was to see the state of her best friend. Immediately the women got into a long embrace. Evana cried the last tears remaining in her body. Yana wasn't the crying type, but that was an exception moment and some tears fell down on her face. She could feel the blonde's pain and she knew that strong woman very well to know that if she was like that, she had reached her limit.

"We should go to the hospital to take care of your wound." Yana spoke

"I don't care if I bleed to death…"

"What about me, don't you care about me?"

"You will be fine. You have Nico, your brother, J.D. and that cousin of yours…"

"But I won't have you… my soul sister."

"There will be one less bitch in the world."

"There will be one less wonderful person in the world!"

Evana cried more against her friend's shoulder, her only consolation. Some minutes passed until Evana could recollect herself a bit. The enough to take her friend's suggestion and with her help to put on her clothes as she didn't want to go to the hospital wearing just a tiny black bikini.

Yana asked for Nico's help to give them a ride to the local hospital since the area was clear from Stan's presence.

It was 8:30 o'clock in the morning when Evana arrived at her home alongside Yana and Nico. The sun illuminated the town and the inside of her house.

"I'm going to prepare us something to eat." Yana told her while she headed to the kitchen

Evana nodded and subconsciously Evana looked at the space where Chris used to sleep, that was a habit she had every time she was back from work. It was natural for her to check on him at distance. However, this time, there was nobody there. She looked twice to make sure of it, but there was no sign of him. She thought he was taking his shower, since he was a morning person, so she waited in the living room for him to leave the bathroom so she could finally lock herself in the bedroom.

The house was too silent, so she turned on the TV to distract herself. It was 9o' clock in the morning when a morning show started and Evana finally realized that Chris' bath was taking too long, so she decided to check on him. No water sound, no bath scent. Evana knocked on the bathroom's door, but she got no answer.

Evana bit her lips with a thoughtful expression, "Maybe he's wasted on the bathroom floor again…" she thought as she slowly opened the door. Evana made a surprised face as she entered in the room, there was nobody in there. It was good to know everything seemed fine. No broken house or man sleeping on the ground.

"Where's Chris?" Yana asked when she entered the bedroom

"I don't know…Maybe he's at the gym, working or whatever..." Evana replied not demonstrating concern about his absence

"The gym… where you keep the…"

"Yeah." Evana didn't let her finish the sentence already knowing what her friend was going to say

"So he knows about the club…"

"No, he doesn't because I don't practice in front of him, but I wouldn't have any problem telling that to him if someday he finds out."

"Oh okay. Well, now you won't need to train any time soon…" Yana commented the obvious looking at Evana's hand

"Yeah, at least I have some saved money and honestly, I won't miss working at that place."

"That's true, but you can't get jobless forever."

"I know... Now I'm going to take a shower. I really need it."

"Let me help you." The ginger said helping Evana to take off her clothes

Evana took 3 baths to remove Stan's scent from her skin which gave her nauseas as the thoughts of him came to haunt her. Those baths gave her the illusion of a cleaner skin.

"Dear Diary,

Today has been a horrible day. I never feared for my life. I never thought someone would ever abuse me. I was terrified about that thought. I so want to leave this life! I've been into it for so long that I'm not sure I'm capable to do anything else for a living. I know there are no fairy-tales or a prince charming will come to my rescue, fall in love with me, get married and live happily ever after. I have no value. It hurts me so badly the thought that I won't fulfill my promise to you dear mother…

Mommy, the film of last night keeps rolling in my head. I fear going to the window. The "stray dog" left me alone without saying anything. I don't know how good or bad that is. I don't know him. I feel vulnerable alone like now. Now I do realize how safe I felt subconsciously having him in the living room, but I guess it's just his way to run away from things. He knows he broke the promise, but he doesn't know that that wasn't the real reason why I felt so bad about him… he started making me feel important, something I didn't feel since you died. My life is starting to get upside down just as Yana had warned me… I wonder if it's too late…
What do I do mommy?"

Later at night, Chris wasn't still home. Evana was home alone since Yana had gone to work. The concern started taking over her, but also the bad thoughts he might had been with someone else or even in trouble... The house was empty like it used to be before him. She had her freedom again, but also the loneliness.

Evana went to the kitchen to get something to eat and sat on the table that was behind the couch. That part of the house wasn't the same anymore. The couch and the space between it was her roomie's 'bedroom'.

She had a bittersweet feeling watching that spot, she laughed a bit after remembering of his fall from the couch another day; it was funny to witness such a big man having a clumsy moment, or the special and tender moments they were starting to develop as they opened up more with each other, "The house is not the same without you… Chris" she sighed

Knock, Knock

Her saddened moment was interrupted when she heard loud noises on the door. She widened her eyes in scare, her heart was so accelerated she thought it was going to pump out from her chest. She stood up slowly walking to the kitchen to get a knife not making any noises, she pretended not to be home.

Thank you Xaori, Bearfield003 and Otori Kaede for the reviews.

I thought I wouldn't update this week because I wasn't in the mood for fics, not even to edit them and then I got sick, crowded home and so many things happened that affected my mood. I guess now I'm fine again :D
