That next morning Maya set off for her job.
She looked so happy and full of life, I knew she wouldn't let down and I said bye to her and held her like my life depended on it.
"Steady on, Aubrey. She's not dying or something" Aaliyah laughed.
I wouldn't be so sure, I thought to myself.
"I'll come save you, don't worry" Maya whispered to me before she disappeared upstairs.
The day felt like hours and I was so bored that I was literally contemplating sleep even though it was only 3 in the afternoon.
That was until Richard came down holding his gun in his hands.
"Stand up, all you bitches! Get up now!" Everyone got to their feet.
"What now Richard?" I grunted.
"Don't talk to me like that you slut!" I sighed "Why not? What have I got to loose?" He fired a warning shot next to me and grabbed me by my hair, pulling me viciously up the stairs.
"Seriously Richard" I said, raising my voice with every word "what the fuck do you want?"
He pistol whipped my on the back of my head and I winced out in pain.
"Where did Maya go?" His voice quiet and sinister.
I shrugged and he took my hair and twisted it around his hand in a knot. I spat on his face and he held the gun to my head.
"Look, I don't know what happened, she didn't tell me anything. Let's be honest she did it because she hated it here. Who the fuck doesn't" I replied, full of confidence and I pushed his gun away from my head, edging closer to the staircase and away from him.
The next morning
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Richard stormed in and had his gun again.
"Stand up now! Who's the rat!" We looked at him confused and then he came to me. "What now?" He laughed in my face and spat on me. I shoved him away and he went back upstairs.
I felt my legs turn to jelly and Juliet caught me and held me. "What's happened? What's he on about?"
"Didn't you notice Maya never came back?" My voice was barely a whisper.
"Yeah, but we thou-"
"You thought wrong, she ran away and she's getting us help, but it'll never work, and even if it does we'll be dead by the time they find us because he'll kill us" I pointed at the stairs.
"Oh god, Maya" Aaliyah sobbed.
"It's okay, at least she is safe" they nodded in silent agreement.
Just then he came back and sneered "she didn't get very far"
He had a grin painted across his face, the one of a mad man.
"we've found our rat"
