Corey and I laid in each other's arms for hours in those woods. It was the most the peace I've had in months.

"We should get back home soon." I said making his eyes open

"Time flies when your having fun." Corey said poking my nose making me laugh

We both walked to his car. It was serene. There were crickets chirping on both sides of the forest we walked through.
I could swear I heard footsteps behind us.

It was starting.
Paranoia.
I couldn't let him see my weakness, it could ruin everything.
He opened the car door for me and got in on his side.
I swear to whoever the hell created us that someone was watching us.

--
"I don't want you to go." I said when we got to his car.

"I'll be around Penny. I'll call you everyday when we leave for tour."

"Please." I said staring out of the window as Corey drove us back to Peyton's house.
But he surprised me again by turning his turning signal on.

"I can't leave after this." He said pulling to the side of the road. "Penelope. Please come with us."

"What?" He put the car in park. "Come with us."

"Come with you? Like Slipknot? That's a horrible idea, I have to take care of my nephews and help my sister out." I said as I noticed cars passing us.

"You just moved in with them. Believe me Penny." I looked at Corey. He had hope in his eyes. Something I did not ever believe in.

"Give me two days." I said "I need time to think."

"You mean to talk it all through with Danny." He smirked getting back on the road "you belong on the road with us. We need someone like you to help us stay sane."

"There's 9 of you. I'm sure you'll figure it out." I laughed

"There's no figuring out." He shook his head. I watched him stare head at the road. "I've never met someone with such life in their eyes. You-Penelope, you have to put this idea in my head that there might actually be hope in my life."

"Corey." I said looking outside the window as he drove us to my sisters home. "You already have hope."

"I just need you to tell me if you can come with us." I heard him say quietly.
I sighed. The thought of my dangerous ex following me back to Peyton's home with her young kids was a nightmare. This was my chance. I could finally get out of Des Moines.

"Okay." I said "I'll go."

I watched his mouth turn into a huge smirk. I just needed to get away.
Corey was my ticket to freedom. Maybe even safety.

Once we got back to Peyton's. It was late. All of the lights were off except for the front light and the living room.
"I'll call you tomorrow. We leave Saturday. So I suppose you have all week to pack." He said to me "I might not stop by to say hey. It may be Jim or Shawn I have some stuff to do."

"Cool." I smiled at him and hopped out of the car.

"Just wait for second." He said getting out after me.
We stood in my sisters front yard.
Corey put his hands on my waist. I wrapped my arms around his built figure and his neck. He kissed me. It was soft, gently, and slow.
We moved with the wind. Back and forth.
I let him go.

"I'll call you." He said touching my cheek and then leaving. I watched him leave.
There was a feeling in my gut. Watching him leave. It felt wrong.

I let myself inside of Peyton's house. Something was wrong. 
"Peyton?"
"Wes?" I yelled. I swallowed. I was shaking in my shoes. Literally.

"Don't say a word" I felt a hard force push me against the wall. My mouth was covered with a large familiar hand.
I felt the other hand roam around. My body.
This was it. This was his revenge.
I was choking, I could feel the air surfacing out of my lungs.
Where was my family?
I felt his hand grasp my breast hard. It made me squirm.
He stared to yank at my pants and let go of my mouth.
I screamed. "Peyton!" "WES!" I yelled

"Their at dinner." Ronnie said in my ear "there's no one to help you now. You're mine. All mine. Did you think those trashy masked men were going to help you? What was his name? Corey? The long haired blonde? He only wants you just for this beautiful body of yours. Both of his hands were squeezing my tits so hard. I was wincing in pain.
It felt like I had car charging cables clasped onto my breasts.
No one was here to save me.
"So. Tell me Penelope Mullens. Tell me why you ran away?"
I whimpered as I felt his hand enter my underwear.
He started to fumble around roughly. He shoved me to the hard cold floor.

"Please." I said as I felt fingers enter me. 2. 3. 4. I screamed.

"You can't cry for help. You feel that babe? Its me your Ronnie."

"Stop." I tried to push him off

"Did Corey do you better than me?" He looked at me his hand was still in my pants. The other was so close to my face.
I tried to push him off

"That long haired piece of trash. He's a drug head, a drunk. He'll never love you like I still do. He won't ever give you this." I squirmed as he grew rougher.
Here it came. He slapped me hard across my cheek.
"Ronnie." I said quietly "please don't." He pulled his pants down and yanked mine down.
He punched me. Hard. I felt my right eye close and blood flood into my mouth just like last time.
Once this one healed.. would it be Another cracked tooth? Busted gum? Black eye for 4 weeks? Damaged eye sight? Or worse. A broken nose.

"I'm going to fuck the stupid out of you." Just before he sealed my fate. I heard a familiar voice.

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER."
I heard a voice.. I was in shock from the abuse I couldn't tell who it was. Ronnie was picked up off of me. And I felt a last kick to my face. Before I was out cold.
