So, no money meant no hotel.
Hence, why I was now parked in a Cracker Barrel parking lot, right next to a truck stop.
I’d already used the showers in the truck stop to wash away the blood from my ordeal earlier and had changed into the only set of clothes that were in my car.
Now, I was lying on the back seat, wondering what the hell I had done to deserve this kind of life.
Was I a bad person in my previous life?
Had I done something to someone, once, that had caused Karma to deliver a shitty existence to me over and over again?
When would enough be enough?
When would my dues be paid?
When would I wake up, and this crazy ass life be over?
I didn’t want to end my life.
I just wanted a new one.
I wanted one where I was married to a man who cherished me. Who always, always chose me over everyone else. I wanted two kids, a house with a white picket fence, and a dog.
I wanted a life that I would love.
Not the one I was given.
I rolled over and felt the tell-tale sign of blood as it started to seep out of me.
I’d luckily had pads in my car, because the moment I’d walked out of the hospital, the blood had gotten much heavier.
If it kept going, I’d need to change again.
But I couldn’t force myself to stand up.
I couldn’t think about why I would need to change soon.
I couldn’t think about what had happened to put me in the position I was in now.
I couldn’t think about anything or anyone.
All I could do was stare numbly as the cash price on the sign for fuel changed over and over again.
Something moved outside the door, and I looked up to see a familiar blond head move into my field of vision.
And something overtook me.
Something strange and all encompassing.
I got out of my back seat, threw the door open so hard that it knocked into the woman standing in front of it, and snarled.
“You are not here right now!” I insisted.
Elliette grinned. “Oh, but I am.”
“You are not,” I snapped, thinking about the gun I had in my back seat. “Leave.”
“I’m sorry, but this is a free world.” She smirked. “What happened? Get kicked out? Can’t go home? No money to buy a hotel room for the night?”
