CHAPTER 16

MAEVE ROGERS
"Evie?".

"Milo".

His voice became a lot more firmer, "Maeve I-I missed you so much, you have no idea", Ilet out a whimper, sniffling, "p-please save me, Milo".

"I will, sweetheart, I promise, I'm on, now I'm gonna hand you back to your father so you'll have a proper goodbye, and I'm gonna need you to hang up, and run anywhere you can, they're probably already after you, okay?".

I sniffled, wiping my tears again, "o-okay", the line went silent for a little while, wiping more of my smudge mascara, "Maeve, baby?".

"I-I love you dad, so much, and I missed you so fucking much", he chuckled, "carful with that language", I laughed, wiping my nose, ew.

"I love you too, baby, and I can't wait to see you", with that, the both of us hung up, letting more tears flew down my cheeks, quickly wiping them before I started running away, taking off those heels, they fucking killed me.

I was running for ages, I couldn't find anywhere I could stay at, I didn't even find a messed up place, nothing.

It started to get a little cold, tears filling my eyes a little, hugging myself to keep me warm,
"excuse me?", I turned towards a short blonde woman, frowning, "y-yeah?".

"Are you okay, dear?", she looked oddly familiar, I just couldn't put my finger on, "uhh, yeah, I'm okay, thank you", I smiled politely, trying to walk away, "do you have a place to stay at, dear?", those eyes, where have I seen those eyes.

I sniffled, rubbing my arms, well, I was bare foot, my heels in my hands, I don't think I looked like someone who had a place to stay at, "would you like a warm place to stay at, darling?".

Should I trust this woman?, "I'm fine, miss, thank you for the offer though", I smiled politely, trying to walk away again, "I insist, you look like you don't really know Berlin, and I want to help you".

She won't let go of my ass any time soon, will she?.

"Okay", I still don't trust her, she smiled softly, gesturing her hand for me, "I don't live far from here, five minutes walk", I nodded my head, not taking her hand.

She started walking, noticing I'm not gonna take her hand, until we got to a small comforting looking house, her keys jiggling as she took them out of her purse, unlocking the house, "come inside, dear".

I was thinking about it again, I don't know this woman, what reasons I have to trust her enough, I slowly walked inside, tomorrow I'll leave.

I instantly started feeling warmer, letting go of my arms, "come on, I'll show you to the guest room", I followed her to a door as she opened it, revealing a white woody room, "there's a bathroom right there, there are some towels in the drawer right there, I can get you some clothes of mine if you'd like".

"Umm, yes, thank you", she smiled softly, leaving the room, I let out a deep breath, wiping my eyes again, she came back into the room with some clothes, thanking her again, "I'd make you something to eat, darling".

I got inside the bathroom, turning on the showers faucet, waiting for the water to heat up a little bit, slowly undressing, rubbing my tired neck.

Getting inside the shower, letting the warm water wet my skin, washing my face, the amount of make up that stayed on my face, washed off, feeling a lot more cleaner, my feet returning to their normal state after walking all over Berlin barefoot.

There was those tiny shampoos and conditioners like there's in hotels, washing my tangled hair, brushing my fingers through my hair, feeling a lot more better.
