Chapter One (Page Five)

“No, Emma, don’t do it.” Hailey quickly said

Emma took a quick look at Hailey and threw the metal bar into the river, as she originally planned and then return to Hailey.

“Come on, you are coming to stay at our place tonight.” Emma said

“I’ll be fine. I’ll go home.” Hailey said

“You sure?” Emma frowned

Hailey nodded.

Emma took a look at Sam, who was still on the ground. “You better don’t let me down punk.” Emma said, and then she walked back to her car and drove away.

“You Ok, sweetie?” Hailey went to Sam’s side and said

Normally, Sam would slap Hailey right across the face, under this sort of circumstances, putting out the anger he gains from such embarrassment on Hailey, but consider what happened yesterday, Sam decided to restrain himself, from hitting Hailey, today.

“I’m fine.” Sam replied as Hailey helped him to his feet.

“Look I really don’t want you to hang out with that Emma girl any more Ok?” Sam said

Hailey nodded “Ok.” She replied.

Hailey helped Sam into the car’s passenger seat, and then she went to sit in the driver seat and drove the car home.

Hailey and Sam live in an apartment within the suburbs. It is actually kind of funny to refer to this place as Hailey and Sam’s apartment, this especially considering the fact Sam only spend one or two days living here, every one or two weeks. Sam worked up in the Gold Coast and that was where he spent most of his time.

Sam and Hailey got off the car.

“Go take a bath, dinner will be ready soon.” Sam said

Hailey nodded.

Hailey walked into the bathroom, inside the bathroom, the bath tub was been filled by steaming hot bubble bath.

“Nobody ever does anything like this for me. I really am a lucky girl.” Hailey thought to herself.

Hailey took off her pink sweater and navy-blue jean and laid it against the chair next to the bathroom’s door. There were a few bruises on her back, she got those from the yesterday, when Sam hit her, there was also a scar mark of been wiped by a belt, she got that from Sam six months ago.

Hailey slowly walked into the water and sat down and relax.

A few minutes later, Sam walked in, with a glass of champagne and gave it to Hailey.

“Dinner would be ready soon.” Sam said

“Thanks” Hailey said

In the same time in Chan and Emma’s apartment

“I heard you went to see Hailey after work today.” Chan said to Emma, they just finished dinner and were washing the dishes in the kitchen.

“She forgot her mobile at our house. I swine by the place she works, to give it to her.” Emma said

“Was Sam there?” Chan asked

“Yes, how did you know?” Emma asked

“I’m psychic. I know everything.” Chan joked “Just a lucky guess. I figure he would show up at the place she works, under this sort of circumstances, just in case Hailey have some good friend that is starting to talk some sense into her.” Chan said

“He showed up, but I am not certain about intention.” Emma said

“I am never certain about his intention either. It is just a guess, assuming Hailey is speaking the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, when it comes to her relationship with Sam.” Chan replied

“What do you mean?” Emma asked

“Maybe she is telling the truth when it come to her relationship with Sam, maybe she is not, maybe she is not telling the whole truth, maybe she is telling the whole truth, maybe she is telling some truth and some lie. I don’t know.” Chan replied

“You don’t trust her?” Emma asked

“No” Chan replied

“Well, I believe her. Sam tried to attack me today.” Emma said. It is not something she wants to tell Chan, it just accidentally slipped out of her mouth.

“He what?!” Chan frowned and said

“But it’s Ok, my two years of Tai-Kong Dow and Kick Boxing training paid off. I knocked him down.” Emma quickly said

“Well, are you alright? Are you hurt?” Chan asked

“Yes, I’m fine. I was so good that he didn’t even have an opportunity to touch me.” Emma said.

“Were the kids there?” Chan asked

“No, they weren’t” Emma said

“Look, I don’t want you to have anything to do with them anymore. This has gone way too far. I mean that is attempt physical assault. I mean, I don’t mind giving Hailey a place to crash, when she says she is getting bash up by her guy, assuming she is telling the truth, but that is under the circumstances where I know you and the kids would remain safe. I really don’t want you to have anything to do with her anymore, Ok?” Chan said

“I can look after myself and as for the kids. I won’t let anything happen to them.” Emma said

“You got lucky this time, but what if he brings muscle the next time or a knife?” Chan said

“Look, Hailey is one of my best friends, I can’t just abandon her.” Emma said

“This is not a laughing matter…” Chan’s sentence was been cut off

“I’ll be fine.” Emma said

Chan knows that nothing he say, could stop her, not unless he ties her up in the house and won’t let her leave and he is not intending to do something like that.

Chan sighed “Fine, just promise me one thing. Make sure the kids would remain safe in this Ok?” Chan said

“Of course,” Emma smiled. She kissed Chan on the chick.

“We are out of milk, I am going to the super market down stair to buy some and by the way check out that new music store they got. You want anything?” Chan asked

“Yap, some shampoo too, would you, the brand I normally use.” Emma said

Chan smiled “Alright” he said
