We slowly walked up the curvy path towards the entrance of the park. My mind still yelling at me for agreeing to this. To my surprise the road was surprisingly busy. I looked around, and to my pleasant surprise there were people walking about. "At least he can't do anything without being seen" my brain tells me. As we reach the entrance I pause for a split second and ask:

"So were to now?"

Toby silently points to the near by neighborhood going uphill. Oh, Good it's close. I still hadn't regained all of the energy from the night before. I suddenly feel the need to cry. I bite back the tears as Toby begins a round of questions.

"So why were you sleeping under the stars" he asks with a hint of childish sarcasm as he dramatically sweeps his hands above his head towards the faint, but still visible starry night sky. 

Deciding to be upfront with him I casually say " Oh, well, I don't have a place to stay anymore" I pause " I might have, sorta ran away a little bit. " 

"Oh, do you mind my asking why?" he says with true concern in his voice 

Memories threaten to flood my mind and I push them back as we walk up and into the small house But it was still much bigger than the one I had lived in my entire life.

"Well ..." I say cautiously " It's a long depressing story."

" I have time" he says cheerfully as he plops onto the beige couch.

I take a brief second to look around the ... living room I had walked into. "Well, to make it short, my so called "Father" has been abusing me for as long as I can remember." I take a quick breath and continue "For years I lived in constant horror of what was to come next." I sat next to Toby on the couch " I just finally had enough and walked out with this" I motioned to my bag.

" I'm sorry" He says staring into my eyes

"No need to be you couldn't help it." I say sweetly as I stare into his now very noticable hazel eyes. 

He pulled me into a tight embrace. Automatically I hugged him back. Why was I so trusting with this stranger?
