Of course, I fell asleep. I didn’t mean to, but I just had to rest my eyes for a moment. Then the bed was just so comfortable that I figured I would lie down for five minutes. The next thing I know I’m looking at the clock and it’s 7AM

I quickly got up, put on my shoes, gathered my things and prepared to get out while the getting was good. After listening at the door and not hearing anything, I slowly opened it and walked out into the living room.

Ryan was no where to be seen so I headed right for the door. I had my hand on the doorknob and was ready to make my escape when I heard a voice behind me.

“I would never hurt you.” It was Ryan and he sounded child like and hurt that I would be afraid of him.

Without turning around or removing my hand from the doorknob I lowered my head as I said, “I know.”

I waited for Ryan to say something else or to move toward me, but he didn’t. So, I turned to face him. “I’ll never hurt you either. Please be careful because I don’t want to hear about you or anything happening to you on the news.”

Ryan still didn’t say anything or make any moves toward me, so I turned around, opened the door and walked out. I got turned around once I got into the yard and couldn’t figure out how to get through the gas station and back out to my car. After wandering around for five minutes or so I was finally sitting in the rental with the windows rolled up and the doors locked.

I’m not positive, but I think I saw Ryan watching me through the gas station window as I drove off.
