"Sopia, Sopia, wake up. It's already 8 a.m." I shook her to wake up. She stired in the bed, grumbling something i couldn't her.

"Sopia, you've going to be late. Wake up." I pulled her blanket. She immediately woke up saying a 'fuck'.

"Women Language!"

"Why are you like my friend Kuli early in the morning?" She was grumpy, "I had a good dream" she pouts.

"Firstly it's already 8 in the morning. You are suppose to be at Shasha's house at 9. And second, who is Kuli? And you can keep dreaming all you want in Shasha's house. Now get your grumpy ass under the shower and get ready quickly. I have to go to work before 9.15." I finished.

By the time Sopia was down i finished breakfast. We ate and then i went to get ready to my work in the supermarket. I wore a blue denim and a t-shirt with the supermarket's name on it. We had to wear the t-shirt always, it doesnt matter what we wear in the bottom.

It was 8.50. So we stepped out of the house and made our way to the bus.

Shasha was a good kid. From the day we moved here, she has been a kind friend to Sopia. When we entered her house she was so excited and thanked me alot.

"Remember to call me everyday. And please be safe and no dirty stuff. Shasha, I'm trusting you with my life. Just take care of Sopia and be safe." I instructed both of them. "Ah, and don't go with dad if he finds you. Call me as soon as possible, ok?"

"Yes, i understand, Hannah. And don't have to worry, i will be a good girl and  don't forget to take care of yourself too." After giving her a tight hug and a kiss, i moved my ass to work.

As soon as i was inside to supermarket, Grace welcomed me with a happy face. She is my boss here who is in her late 40s. I have been here almost 4 years and a half, so im kind of her favourite.

"Good morning, Grace. How are you?"

"Oh, im good, kid. Why didn't you come to work yesterday?" She questioned me.

I didn't want to say what really happened. She would panick and have a heart attack if she gets to know how im really living my life. "Sopia had a school project, and i had to help her make it. Im sorry, Grace. I should have informed you beforehand. I'll will not repeat this." I lied.

"Hey Han, it's ok. Go carry on your work, " she said politely.

Telling her a 'thank you' i started to work. Every time i tried to reach for something from the top shelf or every time i bent to pick something, my abdomen hurt so much. I tried my best to have a straight face and do my job.

While i was mopping the floor, a hand came and covered my mouth, dragging me in the reverse direction. I tried to pull away, but i couldn't.  When i was released, i immediately turned to look who it was.

"Women, you scared me to death." I held my chest, trying to calm my beating heart.

"Yes?" Sam folded her hand near her chest and gave a raised eyebrow.

"Why would you do that, Sam? You literally gave me a heart attack!" I wispher-yelled at her.

"Oh ya? I gave you a heart attack? Hannah, where were you yesterday? I was so worried and called your phone a million times. Girl, i was worried to death. What were you thinking? I thought your dad murdered you or something." She yelled at me.

And that is Sam, my only friend who really knew my story. I met her in high school. She was such a nice person, she really cared for me. Sometimes, she would behave like she is my mom. Sometimes, she would act like a worried friend. And i love her so much.

"Sammy, you can see me right. I'm here in front of you, alive and in one piece. See." I twelled around to show her that i was in one piece. "See. So now calm down. Ok?"

"Why didn't you answer my phone calls? Why didn't you come to work yesterday?" She kept acting like my mom now.

"Mom! I was helping Sopia on here school project." I mocked her, "and as for my phone, I forgot to charge it the day before yesterday, so it was dead the whole day. Happy?" I explained her.

Her eyes softened, and concern was evident in her eyes. "Hannah, where are you hurt?"  Shit. Think i got caught now. I can manage it, keep a smile, and make it simple.

"Hey, I'm ok. See. Nothing like that happened. Sorry for being careless in not answering my phone. It won't happen again." I gave her my most happy smile. Thank god for my uniform, which had arm length sleeved.

"Don't you dare do that again. Next time you don't answer your calls, i will be in front of your house with cops. Do you get it?" She gave me a murderous look.

"Yes, sir." I gave her a salute.

"Ok." She signed, and then she gave me a tight hug. I winced at the contact. She quickly pulled away to look at my face, but i managed a smile on my face. Giving me an 'i don't believe you' look, she went back to work. Taking deep breaths, i dragged myself to work.

At 4 p.m. i finished all my work and got ready to go back home.
While i was walking to the bus stop, i heard a tiny wimper. So i followed the noise, which led me towards an alley that had a dumpster. When i saw what was making that awful noise, i quickly bent down to pick it up. It was a puppy with white fur and a brown patch on its left eye. It looked so cute. I think it might be hungry, so i pulled my bag to get that leftover biscut i had from lunch. I fed it to the puppy, and it immediately ate it.

"Hey, little fellow, dont you have a family?" It made very small and cute howl and licked my hand. "Aw.... Don't worry, you can join me." It licked my hand again. With a chuckle, i put him inside my bag and left the zip open.

With that, i made my way home. When the bus stopped in my stopping, i got down and started walking home.

Suddenly, a hand came from behind and covered my nose and mouth with a cloth. I tried to get away, but as i tried to get away, my vision started to get blurred. The cloth contained chloroform, so in a few attempts of escape, i lost consious, and everything went dark.

"Hey," someone shook by my shoulder. My head was not in balance. I tried opening my eyes and tried to stand up but failed. A strong arm caught me tight.
Slowly opening my eyes, I tried to clear my vision.

"Wake up you bitch!!!"

I pushed the person infront of me and stood straight. Adjusting my vision, I gasped.
"Who are you? Where am I?"

I heard a chuckle from the man infront of me.
"You my dear are going to listen carefully, you owe me a lot of money and im not letting you slip till i get what's mine"

Oh god!!  Why me?
