I am still recovering from my attack. I am mentally and physically battered and I just want all this

to be over. Three times someone has tried to kill me. Three times I managed to survive. I just don’t

know when my luck will run out because at this point whoever wants me dead seems hell–bent on

making sure I don’t see Noah again.

I shiver when I remember how close to meeting my maker I had been. He had been right there in

my house. He’d planned to rape me there before killing me. Tears fill my eyes and it takes

everything in me not to let them fall.

“I’m okay, thank you” I try to smile, but I just don’t feel like it.

I’ve been in a kind of funk since my attack happened. I’m just going through the motions. Nothing

feels real, it all just feels like a bad dream. I was still waiting for myself to wake up. Deep down I

know that this is real, but a part of me thinks if just pretend then it will all go away.
