AVERY
Two Weeks Earlier
“Momma?” my daughter calls out from the backseat of my car, now
deceased Citroën, to be specific. “We’re cold!”
“I know, honey,” I reply, trying to make myself heard over the howling
of a raging winter storm. “Keep your sister close and stay under the
blanket!”
Miley is only five years old but smart enough to know when to listen to
me. Annie is three and doesn’t understand what’s going on. Hell, I’m even
baffled as to how we got to this point, but I had no other choice. This is
what I get for trying to work things out with a narcissistic psychopath. I
never should’ve married Daniel. I never should’ve stuck around for as long
as I did. That’s all part of the past, though and that’s where it will stay.
Besides, there is nothing I can do to change it. All I can do now is look
forward and make a better life for my kids.
We’re a few feet away from Johnson Lake, stuck on the side of the road
with too many miles between us and the next town. My car died, and I am
nowhere near capable or equipped to fix it myself. To top it all, this
snowstorm has me stranded and unable to walk all the way to Lexington
with my daughters to an overnight shelter. The snow is too heavy, the wind
is biting cold, and I can barely see ten feet ahead of me.
It’s the middle of winter in Nebraska. What did I expect?
“Mommy is trying to find a way to get us somewhere nice and warm,” I
tell my daughters, hoping they can hold on for at least a couple more hours.
We only have what little heat the engine delivered before the car died,
so I told Miley to keep the windows up so we can preserve that for as long
as possible. I keep looking around, praying for a pair of headlights to appear
from either direction but even that could end up being a double-edged
sword. What if it’s Daniel?
I smacked him over the head pretty good with that lamp. I would’ve
bashed it all the way in, but Miley and Annie were screaming, terrified of
their own father. He wasn’t supposed to be able to find us and I don’t
understand how he did. The restraining order didn’t faze him in the least.
He just wanted to hurt me, to make me suffer for having had the audacity to
divorce him.
Shuddering, I check my phone again. The battery is drained, and the
screen is black. We’re stuck out here on the side of the road in a Nebraska
snowstorm, and I don’t know whether I can rely on the kindness of
strangers. With this low visibility, it could be Daniel who finds us.
And then
it’ll be over. I’ve not doubt he will kill me. I hit him with the lamp, I
grabbed my daughters, and then I drove off as fast as I could, not caring
about the thickening snowstorm at that point. I had to survive. I had to put
some distance between us and him.
