Our Escape

Meeting Mrs.Smith...

I just have two days, two days to find the reasons for Sam's condition and two days to find solutions...

I cannot just leave him, not after knowing all of this, I need to find a way to help him.

When Sam left the room, I thought that I have lost everything, I lost every hope of helping him but today I earned something valuable, I earned Sam's trust, he trusted me enough to let me in, to let me help him and that's it, that's what I need.

Just as we were about to reach, I just realised that my room was in a mess, everything was scattered, almost everything was broken, I cannot let Sam see all of that. 

"Umm... Sam, why don't you sleep in the room that is last in the corridor?, it is warm and cosy, you will feel more relaxed and it's very necessary for you to get some sound sleep". I was just hoping that he doesn't question me about this sudden change.

"Sure! I will try sleeping , anyway it's not the room that concerns me it's just insomnia...but as you are persistent, I will take that room".

"Sam, I know it's hard for you but you should try sleeping, if you start thinking about some good memories then you will eventually drift to sleep. All you need to do is try reliving those moments". I said this while remembering my own experience. 

"Okay... I will try, you don't need worry about me".

"Good but if there is anything you need then please ask me, I will be in the room that is just next to yours. Good night!"

"Thankyou! Good night..."

Next morning I woke up with a huge weight on my head, my head was pounding, I took a pill and made my way to the bathroom, after getting fresh and dressed, I made my way to Sam's room.

As I entered the room, I realisedthat Sam was staring right through the wall, he was deeply engaged in some thought, I guess he didn't get sleep. I sighed thinking about his terrible condition, after hearing my footsteps, he immediately turned his head towards me and smiled. 

"Good morning Macy!"

"Good morning Sam! , you seem to be a morning person... that's interesting to know" I smirked at him.

"And you seem to be the opposite".

"Ya, that's true, I am not a fan of morning and the fact that I have school in not more than an hour just sucks!". Just as these words escaped from my mouth, realisation hit me, I need to find a place for Sam, I cannot just leave him at my place alone.

"Yeah, you need to go to school and I am sorry, you missed your school yesterday for me".  Sam looked at floor in embarrassment. 

"No-no, it's absolutely fine, don't worry. I am thankful that I missed my school yesterday after all it was Monday and I definitely would  prefer missing school on Monday for you than attending it". I said this with an amused smile, sometimes I wonder that I must be the biggest weirdo, my hatred towards Mondays is too much that it amuses myself more than anyone else...

"Uhh... Sam, I was wondering if you could stay at Mrs. Smith's place, she is like a grandmother to me, she used to take care of me when I was young and I had nobody as my mom used to work till late night. She is a great lady, I will pick you up from her place once I get free from school. I promise, I will try coming as soon as possible, I know it will be a little weird for you to stay at some stranger's place but I cannot just let you alone over here..."

" Macy... you don't need to do all of this, I feel like a burden to you I don't know..." Sam said this despondently.

"Stop!, stop imagining things Sam, you are no burden to me, I would be really happy to help you. If I cannot help then I will feel like an imbecile person".
