Fear

I've been working for three weeks now and the

money I earn from tips is enough for me to feed myself.

Mr. Ruan is a very closed man

sometimes he drinks too much and I'm the one who takes care of everything including closing the coffee pot.

I am cleaning the tables

before the customers arrive

the door of the coffee maker

opens

-SO YOU DECIDED TO STAY!

I recognize that voice and turn around to see Hugo.

with Hugo

Vick: are you following me again?

Hugo: of course not redhead sometimes I come here for breakfast!

Vick: whatever

and I continue to do what I'm doing

Hugo stayed for a few hours, had his coffee, talked to Ruan and then left.

finally, I hated the way he looked at me.

the day came to an end the last customer left

I finish setting the tables and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

when Mr. Ruan comes in he looks

strange.

Ruan: have I told you that you are beautiful?

I smell booze and decide not to answer

he approaches so I decide to leave but he holds me looking me in the eyes

Ruan: you know that if you are mine you will never have to work again.

Vick: I'm going home!

but he is huge and holds me in front of the kitchen sink.

Ruan: why! it's still early what do you think we can play?

Vick:I don't want to!

I try to get rid of him but he squeezes my neck, with his other hand he caresses my body.

and I start to run out of air.

I grope around until I feel something and I grab a knife.

and in defense I hit him in the neck.

He falls bleeding a lot and I get out of there running

but I run into Hugo who holds me back

Hugo: Hey what's wrong?

he hugs me

Vick:I killed him I killed him

I just say that

he holds my face so I can look at him

Hugo:stay calm tell me what happened?

Vick:he tried to take advantage of me I killed him

Hugo:who!

Vick:Ruan

he looks at me surprised

Hugo: okay stay here where is he?

Vick:in the kitchen

he goes to the kitchen takes a while and

come back

Hugo: unfortunately he's dead!

Vick:I don't want to go to jail

I start to cry

Hugo comes closer

Hugo: you're not going

Hugo: I'll fix it

he picks up his phone makes a few calls then comes back

Hugo:I've already solved it, just relax

Vick:but what about him what will happen to me?

Hugo: don't worry, I'll take you somewhere.

he takes me to his car and I get in

after a few minutes he stops at an apartment

we go down

Vick:what are we doing here?

Hugo: stay calm I'm not going to do anything to you, we are in my apartment

we go in

Hugo: I'll get you some clean clothes 

I sit down and I can only cry in despair. 

he's going to hand me over to the police, and they won't believe it was self-defense he comes back with some clothes with him.

Hugo: I don't have any women's clothes but maybe these will fit you.

Hugo: go take a shower I need to go out in a little while I'll be back.

he leaves leaving me alone I go to the

I go to the bathroom and take off those bloody clothes.

I take a shower and put on the clothes he gave me.

I go out of the bathroom and I look for him but I can't find him he went to call the police.

I try everything to open the door and end up picking the lock and

the lock and I manage to get out

it was the same way I ran away from boarding school, I run out I know I'm wearing inappropriate clothes.
