i was walking home in the rain one day like i normally do. even tho i hated it today seemed to be ok it wasn't raining as hard. i've had to walk home ever since my mom got sick and my dad left. "it's freezing out here" i say quietly to myself. i take a left to turn down my street or what i thought was my street. i look around to find my house it was no where.
i check my map to see i somehow ended up across town. "i think i'm just gonna go to the nearest motel" i whisper pulling out my phone to look at the map again. i notice it's only two blocks from here. i start walking towards where the motel is on my map.
i get to the motel and look up from my map. this looks like shit. i don't care tho i'm tired and my legs hurt i swipe off of the map and put my phone in my pocket. my mom won't notice if i'm gone and the nurse helps so i will be fine. i walk up the short gravel driveway that leads to a tiny box thing with a man sitting inside sleeping. i look up and see the sign above the sleeping man. check in is what's wrote down in colorful glowing lights.
i ring the bell hopefully not to startle the sleeping man but wake him up so i can get a room. i'm assuming i startled the man cause he jumped and almost fell out of his chair. "oh um.. i'm sorry i didn't think anyone would show up this late" the man that is now awake says. "it's ok everyone needs sleep" i reply smiling. "are you looking to get a room for the night" the man says. "yes i am" i reply with ease trying not to show i'm scared. i've never been out this late or at a motel especially by myself. "great and how long would you be staying" the man says behind the counter.
"just tonight" i reply gripping my phone that's in my hand tighter. "alright could i have a name to put down" he says staring at me blankly. "Mary" i say softly knowing that isn't my name and that my name is autumn. "alright cash or card" the man says. "card" i reply. "ok just swipe your card in this machine" he says putting a little machine that was once behind the desk on to the counter. i swipe my card and the man hands me a key. "room 104 down there the one next to the steps" he says pointing. "ok thank you" i say. "your welcome and have a nice night young lady" he says smiling. "you to" i say kinda creeped out.
i start walking to the room he told me walking by i look at all the doors and numbers to make sure i'm going to the right one. 101. 102. 103. 104. that's it. i walk up the to the door stick the key into the doorknob and unlock it. i walk into the room and close the door behind me i look around to examine everything before i lay down. i might be tired but im not stupid ive heard things about hidden cameras in motels.
the first think i do is secure the door and make sure its locked. then i look around checking the blankets i picked the one of the bed and flung it shaking it to make sure nothings there. i checked the tv and the drawers the only thing i found in the drawers were some candy wrappers, a bible, and a penny stuck to the bottom. i walk into the bathroom and check everything. i decided to take a shower and change into the clothes i had in my bag that i didn't use when staying at my friends house the night prior. i grab them out of my bag and get into the shower just to wash my body tho not my hair.
after my shower i get into bed to go to sleep when i hear that man scream. my immediate reaction was to look out the window. there was just a woman standing there that looked startled. realizing that he just scared the man from waking him up again i went to lay back down. i didn't realize i forgot to close the curtains until the car that the woman that scared him pulled in a parking spot. the second spot away from my door. as the lights of the car beamed through the window i got out of bed going to close the curtains i noticed the lady looked very familiar. i thought nothing of it and closed the curtains going to lay back down.
about 20 minutes later i'm about to fall asleep when there's a knock on my door. i look through the little door while and notice a familiar boy standing there looking nervous. i slowly pull open the door as he was about to walk away. "hey" i say. "oh thank god you opened the door" he says looking at ease. "is everything alright" i say confused. i know who it is. holy shit. omg. it's the miguel cazarez mora.
"no not really see i left my room to grab toilet paper and the man behind the desk took forever to find toilet paper and when he finally did and i got back to my room my mom had fallen asleep and she's a heavy sleeper" he says looking at me. "didn't you take the key" i say. "no because she was awake i thought the stupid man would give me toilet paper quick and i'd get back there" he says. "did you try calling her to see if it would wake her up" i say trying to think of more things.
"yes and like i said she's a heavy sleeper so she didn't wake up to it" he says. "does the man up there have another key" i say. "yea but he can't give it out unless it's the persons who's name is on the list" he says rolling his eyes. i could tell he was fed up with that man. "well what did you need then" i say puzzled on why he came to my door. "i was wondering if i could sit in here with you for a few if the people your with are ok with it" he says getting nervous again trying not to make eye contact. "i mean yea that's fine and im not here with anyone im here by myself" i say opening the door farther to let him in.
"oh why are you here by yourself if it's ok for me to ask" he says. "it's a long story i just was to far away from my house because i took a couple wrong turns" i say. "well i forgot to introduce myself so my names miguel" he says smiling. "im autumn it's nice to meet you miguel" i say smiling back at him. he doesn't need to know that i know who he is just yet.
