When co-worker's started seeing the bruises they told the girl that she needed to get away. The girl knew she needed to get away. How exactly was she supposed to do that? She had no money. She had no family support. She had no friends.
Not long before that though she had been chosen to be the person who went with the exterminator to spray the apartments for bugs. There had to be an employee with the exterminator when he entered apartments.
David had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was a very nice man. He was probably in his late 20's to early 30's. (The girl was 18 by that point, close to 19 maybe. ) He was divorced and had a daughter about 8 years old.
He had seen the bruises too. He asked the girl if she would like to move in with him.
The girl felt that even though she didn't really know him it surely would be safer. She said "yes". And, she was right. He was a very nice man.
David was not abusive in any way. He was a very good man.
And, that was the problem.
The girl was not accustomed to "normal". And, she really didn't know how to react to it. She wasn't sure how to act. And she felt very bad about herself for the things that she had gone through. She felt branded and like everyone could tell that she was "bad". She desperately needed counseling but she didn't realize that.
She wasn't with David for very long. She didn't do right by him. She fell into a very deep depression. And, then she attempted suicide.
