You Saved Me
Beth could not have been more excited to move into her new apartment. Her whole life she has never been on her own and now it was her time to be an independent. She just graduated from Georgia University with Honors to be a Veterinarian. Her father, Hershel Greene, was the town's top vet and ever since Beth was a little gir, having helped her parents and her siblings help on the farm, she has loved helping and taking care of animals. Her goal was to have her father retire so she could take over the practice for him one day. Beth knows he deserves the rest.
"Beth, where do you want your crap?" Beth looked up to see her sister Maggie. She was holding one of her boxes that had her books in it. "Just set the box down by the bookcase," Beth instructed. She was busy setting up her picture. She huffed and walked over to the bookshelf and threw the box down. The loud sound made Beth jump. "Jesus Christ! Why do you have so many damn books?! It's just you living here!" Maggie exclaimed with a grin.
"You know I love to read Maggie." Beth replied with a smile. Maggie just shook her head and walked downstairs to get more books. Beth looked out the door she just left out of. She thought to herself. "I really love my sister. Thank God she has been there for me."
She then thought about her ex boyfriend Jimmy. She met Jimmy when they were both sixteen years old. He was so great to her in the beginning. She was introduced to him when Maggie hired him to work on the farm one summer. They were together ever since. Well, until a year ago. When Beth left for college, she started to notice a complete change in him
He was possessive, he would get mad at her when she had to cancel plans to study or to hang out with her friends, when she refused to sleep with him her would yell and berate her, and he didn't want her hanging around her friends, Rosita and Sasha that she met while in school. Especially, he didn't want her around her other guys.
Then one night, things took a turn for the absolute worst.
Flashback, Junior year of college
It was a Saturday night and her best friends Rosita and Sasha had come over to her dorm room and had invited her to a bar. Just to give her a break.
"Come on Beth, you study too much, please come out with us and have some fun! There is this new bar in town that everyone is talking about that we really want to go to." Rosita said.
"Yeah Beth, don't make us drag you out of here." Sasha said with a playful grim stare. Beth looked back and forth between them.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll go, but not for too long though." Beth said with a smile.
"Thank God!" Rosita and Sasha yelled. Just then, Jimmy called her phone. "Hey Jimmy," Beth said. Sasha and Rosita rolled their eyes when she said his name.
Both of them did not like Jimmy. They can tell that something is off with him but they keep to themselves because they know how much Beth loves him.
"Hey babe, you free tonight? I got off work early and I wanted to hang out." Jimmy said. Beth looked at her friends. She really wanted to go out with them tonight. She saw Jimmy last weekend. She thought he could live one weekend without her. Beth thought he would get mad at her is she told him that she had plans to go to a bar with her friends, so she had to lie. Something she hated doing.
"I'm sorry baby, I can't. I have to help momma at home and go through the attic. She wants to throw away some things and she asked me to help her."
Sasha and Rosita gave her a thumbs up.
Jimmy sighed. "What the hell Beth! I wanted to see you tonight. Can't your sister help her or something?"
"No Jimmy, I promised I would help her."
"Fuck, fine then bitch! Go help mommy!" Jimmy hung up the call.
Beth pulled the phone down and shook her head. This was a normal reaction from him when she couldn't hang out with him. She was used to it.
"What did he say Beth?" Sasha asked. She noticed the sad look on Beth's face.
"Nothing, Jimmy was just upset that I can't hang out. I'm fine."
"Good! Let's get ready!" Rosita said while clapping her hands.
They all decided to do their makeup first. Rosita decided to go with a dark, smoky eye with a nude lip. Sasha decided to go with a more bronze, gold look with shiny lip gloss. Beth decided to go with a more sultry look. She went with a cat eye with a peachy eyeshadow and a bold red lip. With all three happy with their makeup, they started with their hair. Rosita let her jet black hair fall down in its natural waves. Sasha put her curls in a half up/half down look, and Beth put her hair in a high ponytail. Finally done with that, they got dressed.
Rosita wore a pair of frayed, dark denim shorts and a red crop top with black high heeled boots. Sasha wore a tight, skin fitting black tank top dress with her matching black leather jacket and black six inch heels. Beth wore her black ripped skinny jeans with a slouchy white belly top with her short denim jacket with her black biker boots.
After Rosita and Sasha saw Beth all dressed up, they were speechless. Beth on the other hand, she was not used to being dressed like this.
"Guys, I don't know if I can wear this. I mean, I have a boyfriend."
Sasha rolled her eyes. "Beth, we're having a girl's night out. You look hot as hell. You can look hot and still have a boyfriend." Rosita nodded in agreement.
Beth looked at herself in the mirror again. She had to admit, she did look really good.
"Okay, you guys are right. Lets's go!" Beth exclaimed. Rosita and Sasha got excited with her. With that settled, they headed to Beth's car.
Beth had an old, red pickup truck that her dad got her when she started school. It was her favorite thing on the planet. It reminded her of home when her school was near the city. She felt she needed something to remind her of where she came from.
"So, what is this bar called?" Bethasked while driving.
"It's called Walkers. I've heard that it serves the best drinks in town and it has the best music." Rosita said.
"Yeah, the men I hear aren't too bad either." Sasha said with a sexy smirk. She had just broken up with her boyfriend Bob and was looking to have a little fun herself.
They drove for about fifteen minutes before they pulled up to the parking lot of the bar. They were all really surprised, it was pretty busy for a Saturday night.
Little did Beth know, tonight would change her. Someone was going to show her their true colors and it won't be for the good.
