Chapter 8 ESCAPE

" Can I add you more breakfast? " Amanda inquired to Claudia who had washed off all the dessert served on her plate. 
" No, Thank you, I am in an averted position rather than the previous one. " Claudia stated
" I can see that," Amanda stated as she took the dirty dishes from the small table and was about to place them on the sink when she was stopped halfway. 
" Are you having a class this morning? " Claudia inquired in a soft voice
" No, no, Not at all, What would you like me to do for you? " Amanda inquired trying to kill the awkwardness in the room. 
" Come have a seat, I know sometimes I am stubborn but it's not as if I don't care it's just I have always gotten jealous of you that you got whatever you wanted. " Claudia stated as she looked edgy.
" Mmm, I know that, and how would I have confronted you and told you not to put pressure on yourself and take it slow it was eating my heart all these years that we have been living together. " Amanda stated
" Thank you. " Claudia stated
" You are welcome and you are like a sister to me," Amanda stated
" I know that I overreacted earlier but it's just I did not know how to face these and you would have thought that I was a pervert that... " Claudia was cut short by a strong hug that clutched her tight as tears dropped down her cheeks. 
" I am glad you are okay, I was tensed all night after you did not show up and I was about to go report to the station this morning. " Amanda stated as tears dripped down her cheeks uncontrollably. 
" Thank you for caring, and could you at least loosen up, You are choking me up and I cannot breathe. " Claudia stated
" I am sorry, For that, I think I was way too emotional. " Amanda stated as she turned and was nearing the double-decker to grab her handkerchief. 
" I didn't mean that, either. Come here and have a seat." Claudia stated as she chuckled before she pulled Amanda's hand 
" Sometimes you freak me up and how can I explain how you always bring joy to my life? You can see how you grant me priceless tears. " Amanda stated as she wiped away her tears as they both chuckled. 
" I am glad I do. " Claudia stated 
" Okay, Tell me what this is about. " Amanda inquired curiously 
" Last night, I got a call from the lady I told you about who wanted me to take over her shift at the Gaza hotel she would split her salary and I would get 10 dollars for the work done. It was a three-hour shift that was from 7 pm to around 9 pm. So I finished work which wasn't easy and I wanted to feel how the guest VIP chamber mattress felt so I asked Mary which chamber never had constant guests inside and that was the room. I threw myself onto the bed and it was so comfy and warm and I lost count of how long I had fallen asleep. Until this morherf**ker who was drunk came and forced himself on me, I struggled to evade his grip but he was way too strong for me, and with me screaming it was of no use since only the walls could watch and hear my plea, I didn't think that my first one it would occur this way to me. I regret as to why my curiosity made me lose my precious moment. The worst thing was he promised to pay me for sleeping with me, He even didn't bother to look at me again and he went to take a shower and I took myself out of the room and hotel using the emergency door where the staff used on their way out. I prayed not to meet with anyone and I was so lost in my thoughts that I did not see a car coming in I was hit by a vehicle and I lost consciousness. I don't know for how long I was asleep because the next thing that woke me up was a sharp pain on my right side of the scrap. I couldn't see clearly since the light in the room was so bright. I held myself up from the bed that they laid me and a chair was next to me as if someone was watching me why I was unconscious I heard two men uttering from outside, That they wanted me dead, That made me think first to save myself. I heard one of them say, 
" Martin let me get a cup of hot tea and a full flask since I can't withstand this cold weather and I won't be long. " He stated before footsteps were given attention before they faded away. 
" Is anybody there I need some water. " Claudia stated as she wanted to lure the man he heard and keys were given attention to as they giggled and the door unfurled before a young tall man in his early 30s came in holding a glass of water. 
" Ma'am here is a glass of water that you requested. " Martin made his way inside only to meet with no one at the bed and before he turned to look to where Claudia was a chair hit the back of his head and he fell on the ground as he let go of the glass he held and the water spat everywhere as pieces of the glass scattered everywhere. 
" I took the pistol that I saw he had on his trousers and keys and I don't know how luck came by, I saw a track with dim lights from afar after running through the wheat fit a mile or so, and I had hope and giving the condition I was in I didn't know who to trust and I had made it to the tarmac and I was waiting for the truck to pass by and it was not long when the truck made it and since my face was covered with scratches and mad I knew that they wouldn't believe me so I pointed the gun to the driver of the truck and it was a long way up to town and my body had drained so much after I tracked from town to here using the short cut. " Claudia stated
" I am sorry you went through all these in a night and are you planning on letting the police know? " Amanda inquired
" No, I would put a lot of people at risk if I went forward and it's for the best. " Claudia stated
" Okay, as you say but in case you would like us to go to the police station, I will be here. " Amanda stated as she hugged her right.
