Shane walked out of the rehab center with papers in her hands. She sighed and walked down the street. She knew this was a big step for her to be taken, but if she wanted Carmen back in her life she knew what she had to. She walked past her block, and someone stopped her.

He grabbed a hold of her arm. “Hey, where you going?”

She snatched her arm out of his grasp. “I’m going home Jay.” She walked away from him and headed down the street.

He walked behind her and tried to keep up with her. “Hey, why aren’t you  buying?”

Shane stopped and turned around. “Jay, I’m trying to get myself clean, and I’m trying to get my life back. I won’t be seeing you again.” She turned back around and headed towards her apartment.

“Hey, don’t you walk away from me! Come back here!” Jay started to run towards Shane. She started to run towards her apartment. She made it up the steps and ran to her door. Jay was right behind her and coming fast. Shane got her door open and tried to close the door. Jay came through the door, pushing Shane to the floor. Shane got up and started to run to her room. Jay finally got to her and pulled her by her hood.

“Ughhh!” Shane fell back onto her head. She rolled over and grabbed the back of her head. She winced in pain when Jay pulled her by her jacket.

“You *****’ *****! You’re going to buy from me or you’re going to pay.”

“No! Get the ***** off of me!” Jay let go of her and straddled her. Shane got a punch, making his head fly back. He punched her in the jaw. Shane’s head bounced off the floor and fell back. He punched her again in her eye. She turned her head and spit out blood. She tried to fight him off of her, but couldn’t do it. He was too strong for her and put her arms above her head. She reached her knee inbetween his legs and kneed him. He groaned in pain and fell off of her. She started to crawl away from him to get to the door. He got to his feet and walked over to her. He kicked her in the ribs, and Shane dropped to the floor.
