The big mystery had been solved, I went out of town for the day. Just driving around bored mostly just driving without a purpose. Before my next light back into town I discovered a small beat down yet awkwardly homey little cafe called "Great Escapes". I decided to stop by and check the place out. Plus I had a serious bacon crave to feed. I had been looking at the menu for awhile , when a soft high pitched sickly, sweet voice erupted my ears.

"Hi there! Welcome to the 'Great Escapes!" where you can Escape and it's great! Can I take your order?"

I looked up about to order the loaded bacon potato with fires and a coke, but the words were caught in my throat . It was her! The girl from the alley! I would recognize that hair anywhere. It hung in lose curls at the ends and was pulled back at the top. She wore red lip stick and fuzzy little sheep earrings. She smiled down at me, and when our eyes meet her smile dropped. She definitely recognized me . She looked so scared her bottom lip quivered and she squeezed the life out of her note pad.

Great I found her! Now what? Maybe I shouldn't do anything but the way she trembled really shook me causing me to stand up, wrapping an arm around her shoulders .

"Hey lets go somewhere we can talk huh? Do you know a place like that around here?"

She drew in her eyes brows in a look of concern , but nodded nether less. She pointed a finger to the back of the restaurant. I nodded and walked us over to the back doors, when we were outside and I had shut the door. She let out a heart wrenching sob.

"A-are you with him? PLEASE! Don't tell him where I am I promise I wont tell ,just please don't hurt me!"

Geeze man this chick doesn't even know me and even she thinks I'm the one who's trying to hurt her.

I should have just walked away, I should have just told her to piss off because she annoyed me, But I found myself feeling an uncomfortable sense of concern for her.

"Look kid, I'm not the one who's trying to hurt you here, I fought that man off you. That's how you remember me okay? So just calm down no body's going to hurt you alright? I won't let them"

She sniffled a little bit wiping some eyeliner off her cheek, looking up at me.

"You promise?"

I smiled at her, god knows why but I did.

"I promise kid"

She looked down at her hands, then suddenly flung herself on me.

"Thank you so much! I-I I don't know what would have happened if you didn't come I was so scared! Thank you ! Thank you so much!"

I rubbed her back, trying to get her to calm down, she was speaking a mile a minute.

"No problem kid, it really wasn't"

I have no idea what I was doing right now, why couldn't I stop thinking about her? And now that I've found her I don't want to let her go I want to stay with her, I want to keep her safe.

Heck I want to be her hero,I've just meet her but somethings telling me she's got a lot of baggage and all I want to do is help her, that's all I want. These feelings are foreign to me, it's very uncomfortable.
