The ride was kind of quiet until we got to my house. I needed more clothes and I had to call Mr. Collins to tell him I wouldn't be into work for a while and I needed to file a report against Ryan.
"Grace, what if he's at my house?" I said crying so loud.
"Shhh it's ok, you're just overthinking it now...he's at his house..."
"I don't know...I can't unsee it, it keeps playing over and over, grace, we just need to call the police now..." I said crying once again. And as crazy as it sounds, since I did like him a lot at one point, it still hurts to think of him going to jail or wherever he's going to go. She patted my back and pulled into my driveway.
"I'll wait out here incase he comes...just be quick..." I thanked her and went inside. I put new clothes on and washed my face. Not bothering to re-apply any makeup.
I walked out in casual clothes. My job means everything to me, but I wanted to deal with Ryan first.
"Are you okay?" Grace asked again.
"Yeah..."
"What happened? What did he do?"
"I just kind of, i dont know aroused him and, made him horny then took off. I needed an excuse to lose my heels..."
"You did alright. Are you glad you went down there?"
"Yeah, now I have a better reason to report him." Just realizing this.
"But since I ran now he knows I know. He knows I have his key. Maybe not about me in the basement, but he definitely knows that I'm onto him...we need to get there fast before he takes anything down or hides things..."
"I'm going 20 over the speed limit..."
"Okay..."

Every swallow made my head hurt more, I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep. Sleep away the headaches and worries. I hate my life right now. There's too much going on. I won't be working for a while, and, I'll never feel safe again. To think that I might not want another relationship after this fail, makes me even more sad.

"We're here sleepy head!" I lifted my head from the side of the door and seen the police department. It looked so warm and safe inside. I just wanted to stay for a while. I unbuckled and walked through the rain. Grace held the door open for me. And I walked inside. The smell was somewhat like a new car. We walked into the main room and sat in chairs. Just more tension built...
