Tears start rolling down my eyes. It felt nice for someone to tell you that. I release from the hug.

"You can leave when you're ready. We won't hold you hostage." He says and smiles.

My aunt nods. Once I get dressed from the hospital gown to my regular clothes we get Alexa and leave. It was 7 in the morning. So it was the next day.

"Did you tell Jackson?" I barley whisper out.

"N-no I don't want to worry him."

"Good. Neither do I."

The whole ride home was quiet. Once we get in there I gesture my aunt to hold Alexa because I was the one that needed to protect her. I take a deep breath and slightly open the door.

"Stay. Out. Here." I try to say.

She nods and I go through the whole house not missing a single room or hiding spot he could be in. Just as I'm about to walk out to tell her it's safe, I see a camera. I go to the kitchen and grab a hammer from under the sink. I smash the camera lens and disconnect it.

I walk out and nod to her. I also show her the camera. I knew this wasn't the only camera so I went through the house again and found at least 7 cameras. That creep.

I'm sure I got all of them. He can't pay for more than 7 cameras and still have money for drugs and alcohol.

My aunt quietly walks up to he room with Alexa leaving me in the living room. I look around the house for a bit. I decide that I'm going to the lake. The place Sam took me on our first date.

*at the lake*

I sit at the bench. It is so relaxing here. It brings back good memories. I don't like to think of what just happened. One of the simplest ways to stay happy is to let go of all the things that make you sad. It is 8:30 a.m and I am the only one here. Someone comes up behind me and touches my shoulder slightly. It's Sam.

I give a small smile and he smiles back. "Hey."

Since I can't talk I just wave. I hold my knees up to my chest. I gesture for his phone and he unlocked it then gave it to me. I started writing in his notes.

"What are you doing here?" I wrote to him.

He looks and me and laughs. "I um, I run every morning. I seen you as I was running and I decided to join you if that's okay with you."

I nod.

"Why are you not saying anything?" He says.

"It hurts to talk. But I will talk in like 2 days."

"Did something happen?"

"Yea but I don't really want to say.. Or write it."

He nods. "Why did you come here?"

"It brings good memories."

"Can I try to braid your hair?"

I laugh. "Why?"

"Because I want to try."

I bring my hair to the side and he splits it in two pieces. Once he does that I smile. Why do guys think that's how it goes? He starts twisting it and I laugh even harder.

"Why are you laughing?" He says and releases my hair.

I type in his phone. "That's not how you braid hair lol."

"Then show me." He says and scoffs.

I grab my hair and show him how to do it. He copies me and he finally figures it out.
