     With Devonté being a material witness to the abuse I suffered from the hands of that wretched woman, him and his Dad offered to let me stay there for as long as I needed. In the back of my mind I knew I couldn't stay there forever, eventually the witch was going to find me. I ducked and dodge mostly everybody at school, not wanting to run into Nate at any costs. Even if that meant eating my lunch in the bathroom stalls, or in the quietness of the library where I know he'd definitely not be at.
What the hell is gonna happen to me?
