Renee leaned back against the wall of the bathroom stall her hand held a stick that told her what she feared the most. She was indeed pregnant, her free hand moved over her mouth to muffle the gentle cry she let out. How could she be so stupid? She knew that now it would be even harder for her to break things off with Richard. He would never let her go if he knew she was carrying his child. Her hand dropped the stick and she flushed it down the toilet. Wiping the tears from her eyes she exited the stall walking over to the mirrors that lined the wall.

She looked at herself and her fingers lightly traced the cut on her upper lip and the bruise that was finally starting to go away from when Richard hit her last. Then her hand moved to her stomach, she could not find it in her heart to abort the baby it was still apart of her as well and though Richard did what he did she still loved him.

The brunette knew what she had to do but if she wanted to make it out of Mystic Falls safely she would have to do it when Richard was at football practice. Grabbing her backpack from the floor she quickly made her way out of the bathroom. Abruptly coming to a stop, "Ouch watch where you're going Renee…" Her friend Carol told her with a slight glare.

Before she spoke she had an idea, though her and Carol were friends she didn't like the fact that Richard and her were together. Carol wanted to be apart of the Lockwood family because of how she grew up on the wrong side of Mystic Falls. "Carol I know that you dislike the fact that Richard loves me…." Her friend pretended to be shocked, "Renee don't be silly…"

"What if I told you that if you help me leave Mystic Falls today you can have him and everything you have ever wanted?" The boney girl stood just a little taller crossing her arms over her chest raising a slight brow, "What do you need Renee? You better not be playing me… no coming back when you change your mind."

Renee let out a sigh of relief and thanked god, "I need you to distract Richard while I gather my things and leave town if he is aware of my intentions he will not let me go. But I am warning you Carol he isn't what he seems… I mean look at my face…. And this isn't the first time he has done this."

Carol shrugged her shoulders, "I don't really care Renee how he treats you can be completely different with how he will treat me…" shaking her head Renee looked down, " Just make sure he doesn't leave practice… by sundown I will be out of Mystic Falls for good." Renee took a deep breath and walked around Carol quickly making her way down the hall.

When she got home she pulled a suitcase out from under her bed and starting tossing clothes into it as much as she could fit. Walking to her closet she grabbed a shoe box from the top shelf and grabbed the stack of money she saved up from working at the Mystic Grill. She placed it in her bag and grabbed her suitcase hurring out of her room and to the front door. One last time she looked over her home she grew up in knowing she would break her mothers heart by leaving but it was something she needed to do.

The taxi she called earlier pulled up right when she stepped outside, after putting her things in the trunk she slid into the back. "Where to Miss?" he asked and she looked out the window as tears fell from her eyes, "Train station please…" He nodded his head and started to drive, Renee's eyes catching the town sign You are now leaving Mystic Falls, come back soon.
