Runaway

Chapter two

Nadia's POV

I'm cold and exhausted. It seems as if I have been walking forever because my legs are aching.

"Aye ma you fine, come here " some random guy said

I started speed walking.

"I know you here me, I said come here!" The guy same guy said

I said, "I have nowhere to go. It was a long night and I just needed to rest."

"Wow I'm sorry you had to go through that. But it hard being out on the street, if you want you can stick with me." Said Ray

"Sure I'd like that" I said.
