From Darkness to Light

Chapter 1-Darkness

Noel Thrasher was you average 25 year old military brat. She had short blond hair, brown eyes, stood 5'2", and had every guy in the world trying to get with her. Noel was born in Florida, but grew up all over the world thanks to her father Dominic aka the Colonel and her two brothers Robbie and Danny being in the military. Finally they ended back Florida for once and for all.

Noel loved her family, but boy did they drive her crazy. Ever since her mother had walked out on the family when she was nine years old, her father and brothers had become extremely overprotective of her. Noel wasn't allowed to do anything except for staying home and cleaning the house, because her family was scared that someone would hurt her like her mother hurt them.

However everything changed about three years ago when her father brought a boy home named Alex that was under his command and told Noel that she and Alex would be getting married. That was a complete shock because she had never met this boy before, but the Colonel was too preoccupied with trying to build the perfect military dynasty in the family to care what Noel thought and wanted about her life.

Shortly after dating for six months, Noel had moved in with Alex and that's when everything changed. You see with Alex, when he was around her family he was the perfect gentleman to Noel, but as soon as they were alone he would pull a 360 and beat her every chance he got. The first time that he laid hands on her was the first night that she had moved in with her. They had a big party at the house and when Alex caught Noel talking to one of his teammates, Alex became furious and once everyone left he took his anger out on poor Noel.

Knowing that the abuse would never stop, Noel had tried time and time again to leave Alex, but every time he would find her and drag her back to him. Again not knowing that none of this was going on, her brothers would also bring her back to Alex stating that she was just nervous for her upcoming wedding with Alex. Now with wedding approaching in a few months, Noel was desperate to get away from Alex for once and for all and would do anything away from him.

"So how is everything back at home? Is Alex still being a dick?" Amanda asked as they drove to a bar an hour away so no one knew who they were. Amanda had known about her best friends abuse when she stumbled over to her house one day covered in cuts and bruises. She had also tried time and time again to get Noel to call the police on Alex, but Noel had been too scared to call.

"Yes Alex is still being dick and I see no end in sight. If he isn't spending with my dad being all buddy buddy, then he spends all his time drinking and beating me," Noel sighed as they pulled up to the bar. "To make matters worse, Alex got called in for an emergency meeting this morning and I have a bad feeling that things are going to be pretty when I get home later."

Amanda gave Noel a sympathetic smile and held her hand, "Hey everything is going to be okay. If worse comes to worse I'll stay the night at your place so Alex doesn't try anything. Now let's just try to have fun tonight. I called Seth earlier and told him to bring someone that you might like," Amanda told her referring to her boyfriend Seth Rollins who just happened to be a professional wrestler for the WWE. Noel just nodded and the two got out of the car and walked into the bar.

About an hour the girls were having a great time drinking all their sorrows away especially Noel. "So have you had anymore thoughts on how I'll get away from my pathetic abusive husband?" she asked Amanda as they took their third shot of vodka.

"Yes I do actually and I think that you'll like it. See what we need to do is find you a real man. One that will take you away from here and you two could get married and have cute babies together. That's why I told Seth to bring one of his friends with him. See the way that I see it, if you and this guy hit it off, then he can take you away from this place once he and Seth get called up to the main roster," Amanda drunkenly laughed.

"Oh I don't know about that Amanda. I mean I like the idea of getting out of town, but finding a man who would love me for all my flaws and hideous scars on my body is going to be tough," Noel said sadly as a lone tear fell down her face.

Amanda saw the tear and instantly felt bad for her friend, "Hey it's okay don't cry, everything will be okay. I am positive that there is someone out there that will truly love you and your amazing body. You are not hideous Noel and besides, I think here comes a possible suitor now."

Immediately Noel turned to look at the bar door just in time to see Amanda's boyfriend Seth walk into the bar and right behind him was the hottest guy that she had ever seen.

Well there you have it folks, chapter one is done and in the bag. I hope you liked it and in the next chapter we will see Noel come into contact with her possible suitor. Please let me know what you thought of the chapter.
