I was thinking of getting up after watching him for almost five minutes, but, just as I was about to get out of bed, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back, causing me to fall on top of him. I was going to get out of there immediately, but he held on to me with both arms and kissed me, which I unconsciously reciprocated.

A short time later I realized, the moment we were both lying cuddled in bed, I knew that he had left me again, that my true feelings that I had been controlling for many months had taken over again, and I knew it would be hard to go back. I had become vulnerable to him again.

Months ago I had begun to ignore him and without feelings in between, but now I had done it with my heart, I had given myself to him again. It could have been a trap, and I fell right into it. Luckily he was asleep again, so I took the opportunity to quietly slip out of his embrace and go downstairs to the kitchen, but I didn't think I'd be so lucky when I got to the living room.

Chris always hid the house keys from me in his office, to prevent his hostage from escaping at all costs, but now they were on the coffee table. I don't know if it was his plan to leave them there or he just forgot to put them away, but I wasn't going to let this opportunity pass me by. At least he had warm clothes on, so I just made sure I had my phone, took some money out of his wallet, got some food from the kitchen, a coat from the coat rack just in case, and ran to open the five or so locks on the door. I did everything quietly, grateful to the guy upstairs for keeping Chris from waking up. I was able to open the outside grille, and at last I was out of the prison that had held me without freedom for so long.

I was enjoying the natural air, although polluted, of freedom when I felt noises coming from inside the house, maybe it had already risen, so I reacted and ran anywhere far away from there, I locked myself in some public toilets I found and asked for a taxi. I got out when he arrived and asked him to take me to my parents, luckily the driver did have the outskirts of the city on his route.

As soon as I saw that we were on the road, I sighed and felt relieved, even though I didn't know what would come next, seeing my family would be all right.
