My Brittle Barricade

Chapter 6

So I'm in the  room and nick is looking at me .. I have that uneasy feeling again ...

"I bought you something ". He said
I looked at him with a confused look on my face .
Not wanting to say no one has ever bought me something before ...
I walk over and take the bag and say '"thanks you ".
I felt so awkward and I guess he picked up on that and just laugh ..

I looked inside the bag and it was a light purple dress .. with little flat black plain shoes .

I just looked at him and I couldn't form a sentence ... I was so overwhelmed .. I just  met this guy yesterday and already he's giving me this .. . 

This can't be normal .. but my life isn't normal .. I was handing it back to him shaking my head saying no  considering I couldn't say a word .. he laugh and said "no take it and put it on in the bathroom "

He grabbed my hand and brought me to the bathroom and I just froze  his bathroom was soo out of this world ..  I think it was the first bathroom I ever saw ..
All he said was " I need you to do me a favour ".

I looked in the bag and at my clothes and I felt dirty and the dress was so... new .
It was like he read my mind and he laugh .. and said "you have an hour and a half before we have to go .. you can freshen up ".

I said "yes thank you " I was embarrassed by this conversation and I knew he knew that too .. but I guess he was a lot stronger willed then me and didn't really care what other thought of him ..

It reminded me of a book I once read about animals ... he was a strong lion and I was a weak prey .. maybe even his weak prey.

He walked off laughing .. and left me alone .. I closed the door and locked it ..   I guess he heard the lock and all I could here was "aww baby your not scared of me are you "
I stayed quite and the last thing he said was  "hour and a half before I need ya for a favour " then he left .

What what what is all my mind could think ... a favour what kind .. I know nothing about this guy and I'm wearing this dress he bought me and now I'm going to be doing a favour for him .. is it gonna be safe and I going to be able to walk away after this .. I don't think I could ever imagine my life like this ..

I looked in the mirror .. and I could see myself .. I looked thin and my hair need a wash and I turned  around and saw a bath and a shower and I've only read about all these in the book  in my old ...

I decided then if I was going to move on I need to think of a plan to get away from nick and forget about my past.

I'm going to run away and start a clean new life ... a happy one. ..
and what better way then do all this thinking in a nice warm bath with bubbles lots of bubbles.

Before I knew it I was stand in front the mirror looking at myself in this dress and my hair half dry but still a bit wet in places and I can't remember the last time I looked in the mirrors at myself ..

Then guess who came came knocking at the door ... always interrupting my thoughts.. nick ...

"baby are ready for me "he said
I didn't like the sound of that ..
he started banging on the door again .. and calling me baby .. I open the door and said "please stop calling me baby "then are conversation  was cut short buy some one.

I was looking at nick trying to find out who he was and nick goes "baby this is my brother Vic "
"Vic this is my girlfriend".

I looked at him shocked I didn't agree to that .....what , when did this happen ... am I missing something  ... was me taking the dress some sort of way for him to be my .. and me to be his ... at this point I felt like I wasn't breathing this Vic person just looked at me like he knew I didn't know what was going on and screamed at nick to get outside the door.

Their I was In a house I don't know....
A place I don't know ....
Surrounded with people I don't know ...
