“Yes, I moved out of Cleas house two weeks ago and have staying here until I figure out what my next move is.”

“Why did you move out, “Shane asked taking a seat next to Alice on the bed.

“Uhmm, wow I really don’t know how to say this I’m really embarrassed.”

Thinking about the physical abuse she endured at the hands of Clea Alice begins to tear up.

“A few months back me and Clea got into an argument over sex and she hit me.”

“She fucking did what, “Bette says in anger.

Max looking at her with empathy, “Al, “he whispers.

“She slapped me so hard and when she connected it knocked me back since then her being physically abusive towards me has gotten worse.”

Tina with tears in her eyes, “Al how long has this been going on?”

“I can answer that question, “Kit says. “Let me guess since Tasha has been home right?”

“Yes, Kit but how did you know?”

“At my party. You could tell from how she was acting Tasha poised as a threat to her weak people like that always show there true colors.”

“Well that’s not even the bad part.”

“Alice please tell me it doesn’t get any worse, “Helena begged.

“After Kits party I was upset with Clea but really I was more upset with myself. When we got home we got into another argument and I decided to sleep in the guest bedroom. Because Clea had been so damn unpredictable I locked the door behind me. I fell asleep and five hours later I awaken out of my sleep with her on top of me with her hands around my throat. The more I fought to get her off me the harder she kept hitting me. Finally I was able to get her off me, I grabbed my keys, and left.”

“OMG——-Al, “Tina says now crying.

“And you’ve been here ever since, “Shane says.

“Not exactly.”

“What do you mean not exactly?”

“After Clea attacked me I couldn’t stop shaking out of fear and I didn’t want to be alone or bother any of you guys so sub-consciously without even realizing it I found myself sitting in the drive way of the one person on this planet that always made me feel safe.”
