Emily awoke in the middle of the night and checked the time, 11:32 p.m. I should answer Alex, really. I feel bad I didn't answer her text. Emily picked up her phone and began to type
Emily: hey sorry I fell asleep and yes I'm doing just fine.
Emily felt guilty about lying but it was to protect her from the truth, John called and he wanted her back, and it was for the abuse and sex. Emily put her head on her pillow and waited for Alex to text back. Never in her life had she ever felt so desperate to get a respond back. Emily waited for Alex to answer back, but minutes seemed like hours and hours felt like days. Emily yawned and was about to put her phone up when it buzzed
Alex: OK baby just making sure you're safe. Its a good thing that you are, you left in such a hurry.
Emily put her phone away after she read her message, and felt herself go back to sleep and she began to dream, only this time it was different.
Emily this time found herself walking the walls of Alex's house and she walked into her room. She spotted Alex in her bed and she called Emily over to her bed. Emily walked over and lied down next to her, then Alex put her arms around Emily and pulled her closer to her body. Alex began to go on telling her how beautiful she was and how much she loved her. They kissed and Alex couldn't help but mention Emily's beautiful blue eyes.
Emily woke up and stuffed her in her pillow and screamed. "Fuck!!" Emily's mom heard and came into the room, "what the hell, are you OK?" Emily didn't have the strength to look up so she spoke into her pillow, "nothing mom go back to what you were doing please. I want to be left alone!!!" Emily's mom shook her head and walked, she didnt hear a word she said, it was all muttered. Emily put her head up as soon as her mom left, and her breathing became heavy. Emily took her phone and went to Google and typed in
Available jobs near me.
And she looked for a job. Oh Publix has a spot open I can work there. She called the number, scheduled an interview, and began to work on her résumé.
