You had finally done it. You had run away from that toxic place. After months of being in an abusive relationship you had plucked up the courage to leave. You had waited until the man your parents had forced you to marry had left for work. You grabbed a backpack and quickly packed everything you owned (which wasn’t much). You broke open the safe and grabbed all the money your ‘husband' had been saving and stuffed it in your bag. Then you had made your way to the kitchen and filled up a small pouch with food, cutlery, a drink bottle and a can opener. From there you trashed the apartment you had been living in and had left leaving the front door wide open.

You made your way to the bus station and purchased a ticket to a random location. You boarded the bus and almost immediately fell asleep. You were awoken serval hours later by someone shaking you.

“Ma'ma you need to wake the bus ends here everyone needs to get off” a man hovered over the top of you.

You yawned and stretched before climbing off the bus. Where am I? You thought looking around for anything that could answer your question. It didn't take long for you to spot a large sign proclaiming WELCOME TO TUSCON. Tuscon, Arizona huh? I wonder if they'll be able to find me here. You made your way into streets. You knew that you would need to find a place to sleep before soon and some bedding. You couldn't afford to pay for a place to stay and you didn't want to stay in a shelter incase your former husband had placed a missing persons report on you. You began carefully walking block to block scanning all alley ways and parks for an out of the way place to sleep. During your search you spotted a target. You made your way into the store, stopping only to grab a hiking bag, sleeping bag, mat, hiking stove and pillow. You paid for your items and left the store. Not far from Target you found an alley way between some apartment buildings. One of the ladders on a fire escape was down. If this gets me to the roof I should be okay for a little while. You began climbing the ladder. Once you were on the first platform you pulled up the ladder and tided it up so no one else could climb up. You made your way slowly up the building until you reach the roof. You decided to set up near a heating vent that was blowing out warm air. You rolled out your mat and sleeping bag and set up a bed of sorts. You set up your stove close by. You moved all your things from the backpack and pouch and put them in the hiking bag. Once you were done you climbed down off roof. You tied a green ribbon around the ladder so you could find it again and walked a few blocks back to the Target. You dropped your bag and pouch in a bin at the edge of the parking lot and made your way back to the roof.

Night began to set over Tuscon and the cold crept in. You sat in front of your heating vent wrapped in your sleeping bag trying to keep warm as you heated a can of soup on the stove. You carefully took the how warm can and began sipping the soup.

“Dude I swear I can smell something coming from the vent” a mans voice came out of the vent “Hold up Adam I'll be back I'm going to check the roof”

L.p.You froze in fear. You didn’t know if you should run or stay put. Frozen in place you watched as the only door on the roof slowly opened. Out of it stepped a man in his early 20s. You hastly began packing the small amount of stuff you had into your bag and ran for the fire escape.

“Wait don't go!” the man called out

You stopped in your tracks and turned to face the man.

“Come inside let me help you” he said gently

Something about this guy made you want to trust him yet at the same time you feared him. Against your better judgement you choose to listen to him. You walked slowly towards him holding the straps of your bag tighly. You had abandoned your mat and sleeping bag near the vent so you stopped to picked them on your way to the stranger. The man stood at the open door and ushered you in. You walked hesitently into the warm appartment below.
