"Please don't harm me..please.." I began to scream for help. I screamed at the top of my lungs until everything became dark, dark and null.

•••••••

"Take me home pleassse..I wanna go home. Please."! I cried and struggled to get up. A sharp pain seethed through my right wrist and I yelped, my eyes still shut

"Hey heyy..don't hurt yourself further. Please lie in place." Someone tried to stop me

"No, I wanna go home, I wanna go to my house. Please get me out of here." I refused to stop. I needed to run away from him, from them.

"You're at your house, in your room. Calm down." He said softly as he sat beside me and hugged me from the side. His warmth comforted me a little and I calmed a bit.

Slowly, I let my lids pull up and took in the sight of the room. This was not my room, not my house, nor Nigeria, nor my room in the UK. It was totally different from my room. It was simple, yet sophisticated.

I could get lost in the king sized bed.
The bedsheet was so soft and gentle on my skin. The lights were dim and the room was a bit cozy, though I was covered halfway to my tommy.

"Don't harm me please. I swear I don't know how I got here. Please, I'll leave right away." I began to cry when I realized whom it was. It was Khalil, who'd do anything to make my life miserable. He'd grip my wrist again and hurt me more. He'd make me cry myself to sleep and he'd invite his heartless uncle who had the sharp knife that would cut my wrist again.

"No no. I won't do anything to you, I promise. Just calm down, please." He said in a calm voice but I couldn't keep calm, not when I was in his room, by his side.

"I'll go to my room right away, please." I struggled to remove the drip and the sharp pain made me wince.

"Stop it, you're hurting yourself." He removed my hand from the drip and held on to it

"Listen, you tried to harm yourself and passed out. I'm really not gonna harm you." He explained everything but I couldn't believe a word. He explained that he'd heard me scream from my room and had rushed to find my door locked, so he had to force it open and when I saw him, I had screamed louder. He said that he'd sighted a penknife in my left hand and I had tried to cut myself before I passed out.

But why would I believe him, I couldn't. He was definitely the one who had harmed me. Maybe I was too hungry and I couldn't take it any longer so I went downstairs and we "crossed paths". He was another monster.

"No, I just wanna leave. Please let me go. I promise we won't cross paths again." I cried loudly and he shook his head pitifully
