I Can go back

“I thought we are friends from school don’t you remember me am Steve.” He muttered.  

“I remember but where are you taking me?” she asks

“To a quiet place where you can cry your eyes out,” he said and speed up the engine.

After hours of driving, he drives into a villa which was painted white with flowers all over the entrance he drives into the villa and parks his car at the garage.

Rachael sits in the car looking down.

“Come with me.” He said stretching his hand towards her.

“Why should I trust you ?” she mumbled giving him a bad glare.

“You have come a long way with me, and you are still acting stubborn,” he said and open the door of the car, she step out of the car. And look up at him.

He takes her into the villa and she rests on his arm crying continuously.

“I know you are hurt and crying is the only thing that can help for now.” He said starring at her as she continue crying in his arms as her tears continue to fall on his shirt. With his hand wrapped around her.  

Minutes later

Rachael realize she was in Steve’s arms and he was holding her so tight and close to his chest. she breaks from the hug and backs him, blushing continuously.

“Am sorry.” she apologizes with her face red.

“It’s nothing to be sorry about, now tell me what’s makes you want to end your life?” he asks raising a brow.

“It’s the least of your problem can you let me go now,” she said avoiding his gaze.

“I have a gut feeling if I let you go you will still try to end your life.” He replied and her eyes widened  

“Can I trust you?” she asked turning to look at him and they both lock eyes.

“Absolutely,” Steve replied smiling widely with his dimples being exposed.

she sit closer to him and narrated her whole story to him, how she is being maltreated by her father’s wife, his daughter and also by him. Steve gasps after hearing all this. And grip his shirt tightly.

“How can a human be so cruel, they are busy torturing an innocent girl like you.” He stated.

“That’s not all I can’t go home again I already hit my step mum and that’s deadly if I go back there I might die of starvation.” She grinned with her eyebrows lowered and pulled together.

“If starvation kills I guess you would have died a long time ago.” He stated.

“You are right but I can’t go back there once she found out am with a boy or even talking to one she will skin me alive.” She declared and Steve jaw dropped.

“Are you for real, so you are forbidden to speak to guys? He asks curiously

“Yes because my dad has dreamed about me running away with a guy so he restricted me from talking to guys and even having a cell phone.” She said gripping her dress.

Where will she go?
