The secret girl

the escape part 2

 After gettting a new phone, and withdrawing exactly how much i would have spent on groceries, i decided to leave my car in the parking lot. i called my only friend left that hated my husband. "Hello?" She answered on the first ring. "Hey emily, it's hannah. i need a favor, i hate to ask you." "Everything okay?" "I'm leaving Justin. i'm at wal-mart. i need a ride to the airport." "Say no more. Jenny, watch the kids. i have to do something, i'll be back in a few hours," i heard emily say to her wife. "Meet me at starbucks." Emily told me as i heard her front door shut behind her. "I'm going to walk over there. i told luis that he might have a tracker on my car." "Be safe. i love you Hannah." "I love you too emily. see you in a few minutes." I say hanging up the phone as i grabbed my stuff from the backseat start walking down the road. 

i make it to starbucks, and go inside to wait for emily, thankfully i wasnt waiting long before she had pulled up. i walked outside and put my stuff in her backseat and got into her car. she throws the car in drive and were on the road for five minutes before she had said anything. "I'm not going to ask where you're going, but i will ask when did you decide you were going to leave." "A little over a week ago, justin sexually assaulted me." I admitted looking down at the floor board, tears falling down my face. "HE DID WHAT?" She shouted, the car amplifying the sound. "I just want to forget what he did. luis and his friends are already mad enough." "Okay, okay." She said sounding calmer.  "How did his friends find out and i didn't?" She asked. "I called him as soon as Justin left. his friends happened to be there. i only called him because justin didnt care that i talked to him since hes my brother. i wanted to call you but i knew that if i had justin would have freaked." She took one of her hands off the steering wheel, putting it in my hand, squeezing and saying, "I understand honey. let's just listen to some music and relax for a little bit before we get to the airport. does that sound okay?" "Yeah," I said weakly as she released my hand turning on the radio. We rode in silence until we had arrived at the airport. She parked in the parking garage, sitting there for aa few seconds before saying, "I'll make sure you get on the plane before i leave." I nodded as i stepped out the car, her following suit. We grabbed my bags from the backseat and walked into the airport and went to the front desk. 

"Hi there! how may i help you today?" An older woman asks as we approach the desk. "My brother booked me a ticket." I say shakily. "What's his name?" She asks smiling. "Luis Martinez." o tell her, getting more anxious as the exchange goes on. "I see it right here. He booked you a private flight, it's waiting on you to get there. i can have someone escort you there and you can be in the air in less that forty minutes. Is that okay with you ms. Martinez?" She says a look crossing her face. "Y-yes ma'am." I say trying not to freak out. "i'll have someone right here," she says picking up a phone. I turn to face emily and she asks, "Who is your brother to be able to book a private flight?" I shrug, saying, "I have no idea." "Ms. Martinez? if you would follow me." A really tall dude said approaching me and Emily. "Can she come with? Just until i get on the plane." I said, then added, "Please." he nodded and turned around walking off. we grabbed my bags and followed closely behind him. 

he led us to a golf cart and motioned for us to get on as he sat in the front at the steering wheel. we got on and he started driving the cart throughout the airport and out a garage style door. after a couple of minutes we pulled up to a jet, the door open and a couple of women standing next to the stairs. as emily and i got off the cart the women approached us, one of them asked, "May i take your bags ma'am?" i nooded and emily handed her the bag she was carrying and i handed her the one that i had in my hands too. the other woman stuck out her hand saying, "I'll be your pilot today." i shook her hand nodding. "When you're ready to board just climb those stairs and take a seat anywhere you like. We're ready to go when you are." The woman told me before climbing the stairs. i turned to face emily, her eyes already welling with tears. "I guess this is where we say goodbye, but it isnt goodbye is it?" i said to her. "It's see you later" she said her voice breaking a little. i grabbed her by the arms and pulled her into a hug. "I love you Em." I whispered into her ear as she hugged me back. "I love you too Hannah." She kissed my cheek pulling away. i stepped away and started walking up the stairs. i was halfway up before she yelled, "Call me when you get there." "I will," I called back before before making my way up the rest of the stairs. as soon as i had sat down, the door closed, ending this chapter of my life.
