The very mont I moved, she almost jumped out of the bed.
- Morning. I'm making breakfast.
She needed a few seconds to calm down. One peak told she was embarrassed.
- Good morning - she eventually spoke.
I pulled out a pan and cracked so eggs. I wished I had so beacon, but I didn't, so just the eggs had to do.
- I... I should go - she squeezed out.
- First, you should eat breakfast. Who knows when you will be able to eat sothing on the run.
I heard her standing from the couch, then she made few steps closer to .
- You don't care, do you? Sobody chased by the gangsters cos to you, and you don't feel even a bit of compassion.
I turned from the pan to face her.
- What about you? Do you care about the guy whose ho you invaded, and pulled into your ss? Did you even once thought about ? About my story? What makes you think it's not worse than yours?
She opened her mouth to say sothing, but couldn't.
- That's what I thought - I said, and turned back to the food.
She stood there like that for a while, just looking at her shoes, then she finally spoke again.
- Can I use your bathroom?
- Yes.
She left and I finished cooking. Then divided the food between two plates. Those ended up on the table with a bottle of ketchup and two forks. I started eating without waiting for her.
She returned after a while, and there was sothing different about her, but I couldn't tell what. She sat next to and started eating, but it didn't take her long since she had to stop to tell sothing.
- I'm sorry... I got you into my ss, and all I could think was myself, even when you already helped so much. I don't know why did you even do this...
- Because when I needed help, nobody gave it to . I learned that there are very few people who would put others before themselves. Now there is one more, or at least that's sothing I would like to think about myself.
She slowly nodded.
- Thank you. You pushed to realize that I can't run forever, and I have to take so actions to stop this ss.
- Good, because running away doesn't fix problems.
- I called my friend. She will help . Her father is a lawyer.
- You want him to tell you what to do?
- Yes. I should have done it from the beginning, but I was ashad...
- Ashad?
- This is so stupid...
- I'm not gonna pretend like a have a whole day to listen to your story, but I'm gonna tell you this. Who better to listen to your story, than a random stranger who won't be in your life, and whom you will forget in a couple of days?
She smiled at , and after biting her lower lip finally made her mind.
- I co from a wealthy family, and my father is a very busy man. No to ntion he is very strict. I wanted him to focus more on the family, but work was always more important. So I started partying, and my grades dropped.
- Highschool?
- Yes. My last year.
I nodded.
- So... One thing led to another, and I t a guy... - she smiled. - He was not like anybody I t before. Funny, handso, smart... But my father would never accept him, so we dated in secrecy.
- Rember when I told you that I don't have a whole day? Well, I don't. I need to go to work soon.
- You want to hear the story, or not?
- Just talk... I'm gonna make myself so sandwiches.
I went to prepare so food to take with to work, and she continued.
- He was from a poor family and had to deal drugs to survive. I was not happy about that and pressured him to stop. So he ca up with this last deal, and I decided to go with him. It was supposed to be simple. Just cash for the drugs, and we are out. But...
I didn't say a thing when she stopped talking, she clearly needed a mont.
- W-when w-we go-go t-there - she started sobbing. - So-sothing w-went w-wrong, a-and t-they k-killed a-a a guy. Oh god!
She went into full cry. I stopped and ca closer. To be honest I didn't know what to do. She clearly had to get it out of her system. Still, I had no idea how to react.
I ended up crouching next to her with my hand on her shoulder.
- I'll make you so tea. Everything will be fine. Don't worry.
She nodded while fighting with tears. Wiping her face with the backs of her both hands.
I poured so water into the kettle, and then placed it on the stove. I just had a regular black tea from the closest market, and not even any sugar, but I prepared what I could. Five minutes later she had a mug full of tee in front of her and was starring at it like it had every answer to her life.
- I need to go - she said.
- Stay as long as you need. They won't find you here.
Then, just to prove wrong, sobody knocked on the door to the storage house.
- Rachel?! Are you there?! It's !
- Patricia?!
The girl just ran to the door and opened it. A white blonde got inside. She was wearing a skirt, knee-high socks, and a jacket over a white shirt.
They hugged tightly.
- I thought you were dead. You wouldn't answer your phone, and... - started Patricia.
- I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do. We ran, and then we had to split. I didn't even know if he is alive - Rachel interrupted her.
- Everybody is looking for you. Your father is going mad!
I didn't even have a mont to think what the hell was going on when a bunch of guys just paraded inside my new ho, like it was theirs, scaring the shit out of the girls.
