shower. The memory of last night kept playing in my head. My body started shaking after thinking of the hour I spent in the cold shower. I got out dried off and started on my cover up for work. I hid concealer in the bathroom for this reason. Lee seemed to be okay with this just as long as it was only to cover up his dirty work. I did the best I could. You could still see the damage but it didn’t look as bad as before. My coworkers were used to seeing the bruises by now anyway.
       I made it in to the diner and got everything ready and set up for my shift. I just sat a nice looking couple down in a corner booth. I was jealous of the way he seemed to respect the woman he was with. He held her hand and kissed her cheek. I sighed and went to take their order. The diner was pretty busy when all of a sudden Allen walked in. He took one look at me and I knew he saw through my concealer.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Seven
     
       I needed to get some fresh air after thinking about Evangeline all night. I walked all around this town and a few hours later I caught myself walking towards the diner. I don’t know what it was about her but there was something that just made you want to be around her, made you want to know her . I wanted her in my life even if it meant just friends. She seemed so reserved like she was holding something back and I wanted to know what it was.
       I walked into the diner and found Evangeline immediately. She was kind of hard to miss, she was so beautiful and I could hear her laughter. It was the sweetest sound in the world. She must have heard the door jingle because she turned and looked right at me when I opened the door. I felt sick all of a sudden when I saw the marks underneath her make-up. Her lip was busted with a swollen nose and black eye. I felt the anger boiling up in my stomach. I clenched my fists down at my sides and tried to take deep breaths. Eve saw me and she had to have known I noticed her face because when she looked at me she headed straight for the back of the diner. I went and sat myself at my regular booth because there was no way I was going to let her get away without telling me what happened.
    A young girl walked up to me, she was petite with blonde hair. She had a dancer’s body. She was a beautiful girl but it was all artificial, nothing compared to Eve. Evangeline was a natural beauty.
    “Hi I’m Jenny. I’ll be your waitress today. What can I get yah Hun?”
    “Just a cup o f coffee will be fine, thanks.” I knew Evangeline was going to ignore me but I’m willing to sit here until closing if I have to. Jenny came back with my coffee and set it down in front of me. She gave me a flirty smile. Girls like Jenny are the kind that I usually chased after because they were easy and came back to me even though they knew I was using them.
    “Anything else I can get ya?”
    “Is Evangeline okay?” I asked. I thought maybe she might talk to Jenny or something since they work together.
    “Yeah, I’m sure. Why?” She asked full of curiosity.
    I cleared my throat. “Well the bruising on her face and all…”
    Jenny lowered her voice. “Oh honey she comes in looking beat up like that every now and then. She always has an excuse. I heard it was her old man though. I mean he is kind of an asshole. He won’t even come get her after work; he makes her walk home alone in the dark.”
    “Wow.” I whispered, as I tried to control my temper.
    I heard ringing in my ears and felt my blood starting to boil. I was seething with anger and could hardly contain it. She gave me an odd look and turned to leave. I watched her as she walked away and I wanted to just scream. How could no one do anything to help Evangeline? Or better yet, how long has this been going on? Eve finally came out but she wouldn’t make eye contact with me. I felt this need to go to her and wrap her up in my arms and keep her safe. It was
