Bailey and Thomas

Bailey's boyfriend Thomas is, well, a douche bag. He was nice in the beginning, like all boys, but he helped Bailey get hooked on pills, he cheats on her, and he talks to her like she's a piece of shit.
Everyone knows someone like Thomas, the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. But the thing about people like that? Karma's a bitch, and it'll bite you in the ass every time.
His mother was never around, and when she was, his dad would torment her and beat her daily. He expects women to put up with this treatment.
I think Bailey will eventually find the strength to leave him, but she's gonna have to deal with her addiction to the pills first. I haven't decided how she's going to go about her recovery yet (home detox, rehab, Suboxone, 12 step meetings, etc.). We'll see how that works out.
It's funny, the characters seem to give me the story as it goes on. That's the cool thing about writing fiction. You go where your characters take you.
Anyone else out there working on a book? Comment and share your experiences...I'd love to hear them. Until next time......
