When you need me just call out my name.
Luka.Katie fell asleep in my lap I can’t believe she has known about Richard hitting Abby all this time and I never had a clue all the times she came to work with little cutes when she looked pale and all the weigh she has lost it was all in front of me clear as day and I didn’t have a clue.
“Frank where is Abby?” I’m so glad it’s quiet today I don’t think I have done any work today.
“Roof she wanted a cigarette.”
She really should quit I keep telling her, I think I will again as I start to make my way to the elevator when I hear Ray.
“Hey Richard went up after her a few minutes ago he looked pretty pissed maybe he heard about your curtain room 2 romp?”
I shake my head while hitting the button “it wasn’t a romp and call the police” I need to get up there he could have done anything to her by now.
“He’s her husband?”
I give up on the elevator and decide to run up the stairs but making sure I tall Ray what’s been going on before I disappear “he also hits her.”
I need to get to her “Abby, Abby honey are you up here?” I call her name as I run up the stairs pushing the door open to the roof I see her laid unconscious on the floor blood is coming from her head “Abby oh my god” running over to her I see how badly her face is battered and bruised
“Luka…Katie?”
Hearing her cry my name sends blood rushing through my body I scoop her up in my arms and make my way down the stairs quickly “she’s save I promise” I whisper gently in her ear trying to sooth her cries.
Abby.I wake up and look around the room for a few minutes I’m a little confused then I remember what happened on the roof as I look around the room the picture I see before me in the corner brings a smile to my lips for the first time in months, I see Luka asleep on the chair with Katie on his lap also asleep.
“Hi.”
I look back at the corner and see Luka has woken up “hi” I whisper across the room I don’t want to wake Katie.
“She has been out for hours don’t worry.”
He tells me standing up and placing her back down on the chair “is she ok?” he nods his head he knows what I meant.
“She’s been with me the whole time I’ve never let her out of my sight.”
I smile at the thought of him looking after her he would have been a great father to his kids but as horrible a sit sounds I’m so glad he’s here in Chicago in my life “I know she’s save with you” I tell him as the bed dips where he sits next to me.
“I’m sorry I had to know I went to see him, I didn’t think he would hurt you here!”
He starts to break down I can see tears building in his eyes “it’s not your fault I should have told you I should have told someone” I take a deep breath “it’s been going on for years I’ve just been scared for me and Katie” I feel him grip my hand.
“I wish you told me god Abby nobody should take that!”
I squeeze his hand back “it’s over now he’s out of my life now and hopefully he will go down for a really long time” I notice his smile disappearing “what?” he takes a deep breath and tightens his grip.
“The police can’t find him, he’s still out there somewhere…”
