What happens after...

Chapter 9

The sun from the sky was slowly disappearing,as night was rolling in.

We were still on the road,driving in peace.

My good eye slightly looked next to me,trying to get a glimpse of her figure.

She was laying against the passenger seat,head resting on the window as the street lights were softly caressing her face.

"We are almost at my house." I said,breaking the silence as she sat up.

"I still insist that we have to go somewhere else.What if he finds us in your place?" She slightly clawed the seat,rubbing the back of her neck.

My right hand left the wheel,reaching slowly to  her hand,resting it on top."Don't worry,we will make it through,i won't let him touch you again."

I didn't catch the look on her face,but i felt a small tightness around my hand,making me feel a little better.

We stopped outside at my one story small house,parking it in front of the garage.

"You will let your car out in the open like that?"

I removed my seat belt,glancing at her.

"I will get it inside just,i will have to open it from the inside." Getting out of the car she followed as well,grabbing from the back seat her duffel bag.

I noticed her looking around,making me chuckle."Don't worry,i am the only one with a house around here.The only things you will find close are the street and a few trees."

Her body eased up a little bit,giving me a small smile.

I walked at the back of the house,hearing steps following me behind."Why at the back?"

"I always forget the house keys inside,so i was leaving a small window open at the back to get in." 

Then i noticed the window,it was almost closed but it had a small open at the bottom.

My fingers carefully went at the opening,gripping the window frame as i slowly lift it up."Alright,get inside first."

"If i get stuck i swear." She threw her duffel bag inside,making me chuckle.

"You won't (Y/N).Now jump in."

She shook her head,getting the first half inside,finding a small trouble on her hip area but wiggled through and got inside.

"Good job!"

She smiled,fixing her messy hair."Should i open the garage first?"

My heart skipped a beat,feeling cold sweat down my spine."No!Um,open the front door,i have the key to open the garage door so."

She gave me a suspicious look,but didn't question it as she walked towards the front door.

I jogged at the front again,hearing keys on the door as she unlocked and opened it.

"Ah,home sweet home." I chuckled to myself,walking inside and looking around."It's a mess,i will clean around quickly so you will feel comfortable."

"I will help you." She said with a smile,but i couldn't help but not notice all those fading bruises on her face.

"You don't have to."

"I want to!"She clung the duffel bag close to her as she looked around."Do you happen to have a guest room?"

I smiled."You will sleep in my bedroom,i can get comfy on the sofa no problem."

She opened her mouth to say something but i lifted my hand."Hush,no arguing."
