I come home with a smile on my face. Talking to Aspen seemed to help my mood.
I went into my dark room and headed to the bed side table. A bottle of whiskey and a glass.
I drank some and took a deep sigh.
Before I knew it my eyes was closing as sleep overcame me.
Darkness surrounded me. I feel a small cold hand on top of mine.
I turn around and hear a 'shhh' sound from the kid. She took my hand and led me out of the room.
Her hands were cold and felt dry.
"D-do you know where my brother is?" I ask her.
She kept quite as she walks closer to the light. I see a figure waiting.
We had finally reached the door and were met with a small pale skinned girl.
"Won't we get in trouble?" The small girl asks.
The quiet brown skinned girl answered her with the softest voice.
"They have a family who needs them, we don't want papa doing this to other kids." She says.
Her hands left mine and she bends down to whisper something in the girls ear.
The small girl nods and runs away.
She turn to look at me. Her light brown eyes looked into mine.
"I'm Aspen, what's your name?"

I snuck back into my room, thankful that Rio wasn't there to scare the living shit out of me.
Before I head to the bathroom, I hear a soft knock.
"Can I come in Aspen?" I hear Drew say.
I open the door for him and he looks at my attire and raises his eyebrow.
"I went for a walk."
He nods and comes in. "Is what Rio saying true? Why didn't you tell me?" He says.
"It's not a big deal, it's just sex."
He grabs my shoulder and looks me in the eyes.
"Even if it wasn't just sex."
"It is." I reply.
Liar.
"You can do whatever you want, Abel won't catch us here and Roman seems like he can protect himself."
I sigh and pull his hands of me. "Don't worry okay? I'll be safe."
He looks at me again and nods. He didn't seem to believe me. Not that I could blame him, it's happened before.
"We should have killed him before we cam here." He says.
"He's been wiped off the face of the Earth. Pretty sure he's dead or being tortured. Either way I don't care." I say shrugging.
He looked at me and gave me a tight lipped smile.
"If he isn't, maybe you should keep Roman safe. I'm pretty sure he can protect him self, but you know how he is."
I smiled at him and nodded. He engulfed me in a hug. I hugged him back, he probably needed it more than me.
He kissed me on my forehead and whispered goodnight.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. I tried to keep my composure after hearing his name.
I hope he stays far away from Me and Roman.
God knows what he'd do.
