Year have passed

Vick

i left boarding school not knowing where to go i will never go home again.

I know it's hard I don't know anyone

and I don't even know where pink lives let alone

her number.

and I don't have to take care of myself anymore.

me

I believe that she never loved me either because since I arrived in that place she never came to visit me.

I walk through the cold streets of Italy with only the clothes on my body.

I hide myself every time I hear a noise

of a car I am afraid, that they will come after me

after hours walking thirsty and hungry and barely able to walk because I haven't eaten today

I arrive in a quiet village where there are several houses close together.

I walk slowly looking to the sides

because it seems to be a dangerous place.

then i see a group of men talking

I try to go back but they have already seen me

HEY KITTEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING

HERE ?

one of them surrounds me looking at me from head to toe

to head

Vick: it's none of your business!

LOOK IF KITTY

DOESN'T KNOW WHO

YOU'RE TALKING TO

he holds my hair, pulling my head back and says in my ear

I THINK YOU BETTER START

TALKING TO ME RIGHT

OR I'LL CUT OUT YOUR TONGUE

Vick: take your hands off me

a man calls him

RAFAEL LET GO OF THE GIRL!

Rafael: you don't run anything here get out of here.

I see the man approaching and a middle aged man with gray hair.

and suddenly five more men appear behind him seem to be together with him.

they point the gun at him who still continues to hold me.

SO HOW IS IT GOING TO BE !

he releases me and his group leaves without saying

nothing, another man approaches me

"are you ok?"

Vick:yes

I say

-"You know you can't be walking around a place like this alone at this time of day.

Vick:yes I know now I have to go

I turn around and he grabs my arm

Vick: can you let me go?

he nods and lets go of my arm slowly.

when I start walking I hear him calling me

-HEY! REDHEAD TAKE CARE IF YOU NEED TO

MY NAME IS HUGO

I don't look back and keep walking I never want the help of a stranger.

stranger.

It's late at night and I sit down on the sidewalk.

sidewalk exhausted I'm out of strength.

-ARE YOU HUNGRY?

I raise my gaze and see him again and

Hugo

Vick: you're following me!

he sits down next to me

Hugo: Julio asked me to follow you, he said it was dangerous for a girl to be walking around alone.

Vick:who is Julio?

Hugo: and someone very important to me and the one who saved you from being one more in the hands of rafael.

I feel a chill down my spine just imagining if they hadn't arrived

had they not arrived what would have happened

me.

I notice that he is beautiful and only now I realized and he

seems to be much older than me.

Hugo: do you want to?

understand me something

I hesitate for a moment but I end up accepting, I open the bag and a snack and a juice.

Vick:thank you

and I start eating and he can't take his eyes off me.

Hugo: where did you come from?

Vick: why?

he points to my dirty clothes.

Vick: I don't want to answer

Hugo: it's okay, you don't have to

Hugo: you're not from here!

Vick: I'm looking for an aunt's house

he gets up

Hugo: but this aunt doesn't have a phone and can't pick you up?

I get up

Vick:I thank you for the food now I have to go and if possible don't follow me, I can take care of myself.

Hugo: since you insist, take care of yourself.

and I start to walk maybe he didn't believe

believe what I said but I don't care.

I just want to find a place to spend the night

night safely.
