Saved By The Devil Himself

Dont tell him

My father. Standing right there next to one of the pillars in front of the hospital smoking a cigarette.

I quickly hide behind Aziz holding onto the back of his jacket. He turns around and looks down on me with his hood over his head.

"You okay there angel?" He asks. I shook my head no.

"Can we get out of here as fast as possible?" I ask and he nods his head once and wraps his arm around me.

Instead of flinching away I took this as a cover gesture, yet he doesn't even know.

I quickly get in his car, and right after my father yell out "Hey!" To Aziz.

Aziz stopped right in front of the car and turned around to face my father running towards him.

"Have you seen her?" He asks holding up a picture of me but tied up to a chair and a rope between my teeth.

I remember that day. A guy wanted to see me roughed up before he paid so my father started taking pictures.

Aziz looked back though his front window and back to my father. I have no idea if he can see in or not but if he can I'm screwed.

"No I have not, is she your daughter?" He asked my father holding his wrist behind him.

"Yes, if you see her, call me" my father said before handing Aziz his number on a piece of paper and walking away.

I let go of the breath of air I was holding and I sink down into my seat.

Aziz walks over and opens the drivers door and sits down, just sitting there for a moment. I look down at my hands in my lap, twirling my thumbs.

After a moment Aziz started up the car and started driving to and unknown place to me. I just stared out the window looking at the pitch black sky filled with tiny white stars and a single half moon.

A good 10 minutes later Aziz pulled into a drive way of a huge mansion. I think my mouth was open because Aziz chuckled and ended up putting his finger under my chin and closing my mouth.

"This is my place" He tells me as he turns off his car and gets out. I get out too, grabbing my backpack and follow him to his front door. Just the door alone is beautiful.

I watch him fiddle with his keys before sticking one in and opening the door. He lets me walk in and I take a couple steps, mesmerized by the beauty of just one house.

"Let me show you your room" He says closing the door and then walking upstairs. I follow him up, slowly, taking in every piece of beauty.

The second floor was just as beautiful. I followed him into a room that has a large navy blue bed with night stands on each side, with a dresser across from the bed with a tv hovering over it.

"This is your closet" He tells me going to the first door on the right, then going to the second door and says "And this is your bathroom"

I look over at Aziz and give him a confused look. "Why are you helping me?" I ask.

"Because" He says before coming over and engulfing me into a hug. "My father was a cruel man too"

Before I could ask anything else, he walks outside the room, opens a door and pulls out two towels, then coming back in. Setting them on the bed he walks into the bathroom and turns on the light.

"Take a shower and get some sleep." He tells me, then coming out holding some clothes, then setting them on top of the towels.

I give him a small smile before he leaves the bedroom closing the door.
