Last Straw
Shauna put her phone down for a moment and looked around her room. In his rage her father had thrown her into her beside table, and broken both it and the lamp that was sitting on it. Shauna was sporting a few nasty bruises. One on her back from hitting the table, one on her left cheek and a few on her arms and stomach. Her lower lip had split a tiny bit, but for the most part she was okay. She had been through worse, even if she didn’t like to admit it. Her father had left the room after throwing her against the table, He forbid her from leaving the house, then stormed off and passed out on the couch in front of the TV another drink in hand.
Even if she wanted to, Shauna knew that she couldn’t leave while he was still awake, and that if she did leave, this would be the last time. So, with that, she apologized to Ryder and told her that she would be missing her flight. Well, she would be missing that flight at least. Instead she booked a new one for later that night and called her teammate and close friend Evelyn over to help her pack up everything she owned. They had to work fast and quiet to get everything done before her father work up, but they managed. They packed everything up into Eve’s car, then Even drove Shauna to her place. They had just enough time for Shauna to put a bit of mack up on, covering the bruising best they cold before she went out into public.
The flight was extremely uncomfortable, thanks to the injury on her back, but she toughed it out. Getting a Lyft from the airport, Shauna made her way to the hotel that Ryder was staying at, then she texted one of Ryder’s teammates to convince Ryder to go to the lobby for some reason or another. Shauna waited. @nxfxlibata
