Chapter Two
"Bye!" Katie yelled as she stepped out of the house that she and Nick shared.
They just got back from their weekend at the cabin, with Katie promising to
give serious thought about marriage. As she stepped into her car and headed
for her part-time job, she began to thinking. She wanted more than anything
in thw world to marry Nick, but she knew she couldn't handle college and
being with him at the time. She would just wait until after college. She
flipped on the music and "I Wanna Love You Forever" by Jessica Simpson had
come on. She laughed to herself. It was her and Nick's song. How ironic life
was. Her life was coming together for the first time in 20 years. Throughout
her whole life, she had been dealt the wrong cards. Her biological father
left when she was six, and her mother had a hard time raising her by herself.
She often left alone with a babysitter, while her mother desperately saved to
keep the house and spend time with Katie. By the time she was 8 her mother
remarried and just as things started going good, her parents had been killed
in a plane crash when she 16. She had had an abusive relationship before she
met Nick and only a couple months after she had met Nick, she began to trust
again. As she parked 2 blocks away from the store she worked at, she realized
she was late. She had to hurry to get there before her boss realized. She was
going to have to take the shortcut in the alley. She grabbed her purse and
hurridly ran across the street and into the deserted alley. She walked fast
and brisk and as she reached the end, a hand grabbed her mouth and a knife
went across her throut. Fear ran through her entire body and before she could
think to scream, a bat hit her in the stomach and knocked her unconscious.
