Sitting on the window sill, my stomach is starting to growl, but I just want out of this damn place. The men in the yard keep looking up at me, but I don't give them any sign that I see them.
How the hell am I going to get out of here? I don't understand why these people care about what happened to me. It makes no sense at all.
The window is bolted shut, and apart from trying to break the glass and fall to the ground, there's no way out of here.
Entering the bathroom, I turn on the shower to warm up and take out a clean set of clothes. Jeans, a t-shirt and a sweater will do.
I don't see anything to dry my hair, and with the length, it's going to take a long time to dry on its own. I rub with a towel to get as much water out as I can, then brush it over and over to try and get air to it. Maybe it's time to have it cut shorter. I don't know.
Sitting on the window sill brushing my hair to try and help it dry faster, my arms are starting to ache. I carry on for a few more minutes, then braid it to keep it out of the way.
My stomach gives another large growl, and I'm starting to feel a little sickly with hunger, but fuck it, I'm not getting anything from this lot. They drugged me once; they're not drugging me again.
Walking into the bathroom, I run the cold water at the hand basin and scoop my hands together, holding as much water as I can, then drink until I feel my stomach is sloshing around, but it's stopped that hungry feeling for the time being.
Making sure my dirty clothes are back in my backpack, I leave it near the door. I want it handy to grab when I leave this place.
Sitting back on the window sill, I let a sigh slip out but rest my head against the glass and close my eyes for a little while.
Memories of being inside play through my mind. One woman was determined to make my life miserable and as hard as possible. She stopped after I cornered her in the shower, she didn't dare tell anyone what had happened either, in case I went back for more, but her broken arm told a story.
I'm not the same person anymore. I loved helping people, worked hard to get the job at the bank, now I'll never be able to do that again. All this happened because I loved Gunner and Zara, but never again, the bitterness is ripe now, and I'm not sure I'll ever get rid of it.
I'm sad because it's not who I am. I fought through foster care and came out still optimistic of a promising future, worked hard to build that for myself, then I was stupid enough to allow a man and his daughter into my heart.
Rubbing my back with my hands, I shake the memories and thoughts.
