Rewriting My Heart's Fate

Seizing the chance, I flung Ethan's hand away from me and darted toward the boarding gate without even sparing him a glance. "Evelyn! Stop right there!" Ethan hollered after me. "Get lost, you filthy security guards. Let go of me!"

He yelled like crazy behind me, but I shut him out. All I wanted was to leave this place as quickly as possible and head home.

After I finally got on the plane, I plopped down and slumped in my seat. Then, I closed my eyes and tried hard to calm my breathing.

The plane took off, and my heart gradually calmed down too.

"Goodbye, Ethan." I thought to myself. "This time, I'm really letting you go."

During the several hours of flight, I slept like the dead. In my dreams, I had returned to that horrible night when Ethan took hold of me to satisfy his needs.

"Don't... Don't do this to me..." I sobbed. Tears blurred my vision, even in my dreams.

Suddenly, I was abruptly roused from my sleep as my seat jolted. My eyes snapped open, and I glanced around, still panting.

Thank goodness. I was on the plane. That horrible night was a thing of the past.
