I checked my phone and seen it was time for me to go down to the mail box and I slipped on my shoes as I went out the door. I walked pasted the office of our apartment building and down to the square metallic box and unlocked the one with our number on it. I pulled out all the mail and shut the door back and heading back up to the apartment. Once I got there, I sat down in front of the TV again and started goin through the mail. Junk, junk, bill, bill, bill, bill, bank statement. I stopped when I came upon a letter with my name on it and in Roxy's handwriting. I opened it quickly wondering why in the hell would she be writing me a letter and why the fuck would she touch the mailbox when I clearly told her not too. I unfolded the papers and began to read.

Roe,

I bet you're wondering to yourself why I have written you a letter and I know your pissed at me right now for touching the mailbox but quite frankly I don't give 2 shits. Every since I met you and you acted like a gentleman and a nice guy, I thought you wuld always be like that but I was so fucking wrong and I don't see how I fell for that shit. When you first told me that I shouldn't be getting into the world of man's work and I can tell you that you need to get out of the 1930s and '40s because this you are the woman and you'll obey the man or get beat shit is so outdated. This is the fucking 21st century and you need to start living like you're in it. You're simply an asshole with no fucking feelings for me and I don't want you anymore.

Don't you dare even think about coming after me because I won't come will you. I don't love you anymore Roe and it's over. I'm going back home...Now you can get your ass off the couch and get a fucking job like a man should! Goodbye!

I felt the anger boiling up side me and I crumpled the paper in my hand and got up from my chair and going into our bedroom flinging the closet door open and seeing all of my clothes and nothing of hers. I growled and picked up my car keys and left the apartment not even bothering to lock it up. I ran down the steps and got into my car and sped out of the parking lot and towards her work. She's not going to get away from me...ever! No one leaves me. I pulled up to the shop where she works and I jumped out of the car. I opened the door and looked around but no one was at the front desk. I seen a door with Shop Manager on a silver plate of steel on a door and I kicked it open. A man behind the desk shot up to his feet as I went over to him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? You don't come in here and destroy property!"

"Shut the fuck up you piece of shit! Where the hell is Roxy?!" I said grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.

"You better let go of me before I charge you with assault."

"I don't give a fuck about going to jail for that. It wouldn't be the first fucking time...Now answer my goddamn question!" I said yelling right in his face as I brought him closer to my face.

"I don't fucking ask employees what they do or where they go! She just dropped off her uniform and left!" I let go of him ad grabbed a clipboard with names on it and seen hers. I threw the clipboard with so much force it made a hole in the wall.

"I know she had to give a notice that she was leaving...Now where is it?" I said still with anger.

"She didn't give me anything! She just came here, put her uniform over there on that table, and signed the paper for it." I reached around and grabbed my 9mm Beretta from the back of my pants and pointed it at the man.

"Hands up and get away from the desk. Now!" I shouted as I cocked back teh hammer. He raised his hands up and moved from around his desk. I flung the drawers open and took all the papers out until I found a 2 week notice with Roxy's name on it.

"You fucking lier! I should shoot you where you stand!" I said aiming for his head.

"Okay okay! She gave me a notice that she was leaving but when I asked her why she was leaving, she told me it was for personal reasons. That's the truth and I fucking swear it!" I reached into my pocket and quickly attached a silencer to the end of the barrel.

"I hate fucking liers and people who would give women a goddamn job." I said before pulling the trigger and watching the bullet pass through the man's skull. Blood splattered the wall behind him and I went over and closed and locked the door. I continued going through his desk until I found another letter adressed to this dead man and again it was from Roxy.

Mr. Rawlings,

I have enclosed this letter along with my 2 week noticed to let you in on the real reason and to ask you not to tell anyone where I am. The only people who now where I am going is Lee and now you. Anyways, the reason I'm leaving is not because of anything to do with you or this shop but the things that go on while I'm at home. My long time boyfriend Roe Monroe met while I was going to School at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and I thought he was the sweetest man in the world but when I graduated and got a job here he started beating me. He told me a woman shouldn't be working where a man is.

Of course it's stupid for him to say something like that but it is all true. Lee knows he's been beating me and everything such as what I've told you. I'm going home to Huntington Beach, California to be with only family that I have left. You were a great boss and I thank you for helping me get back on my feet after being in school. Please and I'm begging you Mr. Rawlings to not tell Roe where I have gone because he will come after me and I can't have that. I hope you have the understanding of why I am leaving.

-Roxy Burns.

I put the paper onto the desk and went over to the door and listened to make sure there wasn't anyone outside the door. I unlocked it slowly while putting the gun back into the back of my jeans. I peered out and there was still no one. I left his office closing the door behind me and I found my way to the shop. I opened the door calmly and seen a bunch of people standing around talking.

"Excuse me but do you know where Lee is?" I asked polietly. Hell I don't want people to get any idea that I just killed a man.

"Today is Lee's off day."

"Thank you very much." I said smiling and leaving the shop area and making my smile fade away. I got back into my car and sped back towards the apartment. I'm going to this place called Huntington Beach and I'll drag her back to Arizona with me if I fucking have too.
