Chapter3

   I'm trying to make my way through the woods but it's rough, my whole body hurts. My side hurts so much I think he may have broken my rib. I feel like I've been walking for hours, by this time I'm sure they have noticed that Emilio didn't make the drop, he usually calls to check in.

   When they find his body I know they will come looking for me. I come to a stop and see a flashing light. As i get closer I see that it's a gas station, they might have a bathroom I can use to get cleaned up. I cross the street and head to the gas station, I try to hurry so I wont draw attention to myself. I flick the lights on and I can't believe what I'm seeing, I have a black eye, a busted lip, a deep gash on my forehead and I have blood running down my shirt.

   As I lift up my shirt I can already see the bruising on my ribs, I begin to cry when I feel my ribs ....Fuck I think it's broken. I grab paper towels with soap and begin to clean the wounds. I need to get new clothes or else all this blood will draw unwanted attention. When I'm done cleaning up, I head inside to speak to the worker.

"Hello, would you be able to tell me where I can buy some clothes?"

   As soon as she turns around she gasps at the sight of me.

"Oh my god honey are you ok? Do you need me to call an ambulance? Or I can call the police?" She says.

"No! I'm sorry I just need a change of clothes, I'm fine really."

"Ok well there is nothing close around here, the nearest clothes shop is a couple of miles away. But I might be able to help you, I keep an extra change of clothes in my car, I think they might fit you."

"Really? I would be so grateful."

"No problem honey, I don't know what's going on with you, but you seem like a sweet girl, come on let's get the clothes."

As she gives me the clothes I head to the bathroom and change, when I finish she hands me a bag with a juice and some chips. I hug her and begin to cry.

"Thank you so much for everything, I can't thank you enough. Would you be able to tell me where the nearest bus station is?" I ask her.

"Of course It's about half an hour from here. I'll call you cab."

"No it's ok I can find my own way, you have already done so much for me."

"I can't have you out there on your own trying to hitchhike, you're a sweet little girl, there are evil people out there you know."

Oh believe me I know.

   As the cab arrives she hugs me and wishes me good luck. While I'm in the cab I can't help to think that I'm finally free and away from them. Even though I'm currently battered and bruised it's a small price to pay for my freedom.

   The faster I get out of here the better. As I arrive at the bus station, I walk up to the counter and begin to speak to the worker.

"Hello I need a ticket to a bus that's heading out now?"

"Where are you headed?" He asks.

"It doesn't matter, what bus is headed out now?

"Boston, it leaves in ten minutes."

"That's fine I'll take it, Thank you."

   I begin to head for the bus and climb on, there are only a couple of people sitting on the bus. I make my way to the back of the bus hoping nobody sits next to me, I don't need them staring at my bruises and asking questions. I bought this ticket with the money I took from Emilios wallet. I don't have anymore money now, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I get there.

   Ten minutes later the driver boards the bus and we are headed to Boston.
