He got out moving to the front of the car again waving me to join him. I hesitated but got out joining him but keeping a few inches from him. "Gloria do are you scared of me" I looked at the city not turning to him "yes" "but why didn't you kill me when you had the chance"
I closed my eyes and opened them once more, " I don't know why" "i think you do" he inched closer to me now side to side " chula I need you to honest with me for this to work" " I not the one usually being dishonest am I with that I got back into the car with him doing the same minute later. We drove back to the house and I went straight to my room but getting strange eye glances from one of linos new men, feeling his look me up and down cashing me to become uncomfortable .
That night I could head noes from the men in the living room and I could here my door being jiggled causing me to open my eyes fully once I did I saw a slit open in my door I fully got up. The person seeing this closed my door and I opened once again to see someone walking out of the hallway. I deduced to sneak out of my room to the porch without anyone seeing siting on the outdoor couch.
I Heard footsteps and turn to see it was Lino. " what are you doing up so late.....and out here" "it nothing" Lino looked me in my eye noticing something was wrong causing me to tell the truth " I think someone tried to get into my room" linos faced turned "who" " I don't I didn't see there face" we sat in silence for a minute " look chula if it makes you comfortable you can take my room no one will bother you in there.....I'll just stay on the couch" " it's alright Lino" I shook my head " Gloria just take my room" sharp tone.
I made my way to his room a king size bed with with it own bathroom it take me long to get comfortable and doze off not before I locked the door . I woke up early and took use of linos bathroom shower and made my way to an empty kitchen deciding to make use of it to. The last time I was in here it was with Isabel before they killed her I was lost in thought on how Lino killed her with no remorse only telling me he had to do what he had to do. My eyes begin to water from the thought of what Isabel went through even before I ended up her.
I was brought back into reality when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder " we are leaving now don't catch the house on fire while we are gone, Gloria" he said with a playful grin. I sat for what felt like hours looking at a picture of Isabel and her family outside this very house happy. I only wish they would had a better fait the what they where given. I often wake up asking my self the question am I in one of those Stockholm's syndromes type of relationship. I mean I hate the person that gives everything I could want, but as much as he is a good guy he is also a bad one.
Killing innocent people for looking at him wrong and people who have loving family's, but I feel this odd attraction to him like a sense of protection even though I know at any moment this very man could put a gun to my head. I'm scared but I feel like I need him in a sense like he need me to keep him grounded like I need him to keep me safe. Is this Stockholm's syndrome
I'm not gonna lie something I might have wrote to fast and u may not understand what I meant in the moment but bare with me.
