'Sorry, I think I'm hallucinating. What did you just say?' I ask

'You're getting out of here.' He says

'You can't get me out of here. Believe me, I've tried to get out of here. But they got me every time.' I lift up my dress and show him the big bruise on my leg. 'I'll never get out of here'

He lays his hand on my leg. 'Does it hurt?' He asks

I pull my leg away from him. 'It's fine.'

He pulls me next to him. 'No it's not. I won't let anyone hurt you.'

'Wish you'd been here 2 and a half year ago…' I sight

'Why's that?'

'Some things happened back then. Then I got here. But I don't want to talk about it. And we have to hurry. Because soon they're going to wonder where I am. It never takes this long.' I start to panic.

'Okay, relax. Breath. I'll be back tomorrow. Make sure you got all your stuff packed. We'll get you out of here. I promise.' He says.

I stand up and pull my dress back down. 'Don't make promises you can't keep.'

I walk to the door and unlock it.

He walks to me 'I always keep my promises. I'll have you out tomorrow.' He grabs my hand.

I don't say I thing.

I want to believe him.

But I don't want to get my hopes up.

And then being let down.

'Sure, I'll see you tomorrow'

I grab the door handle, He stops me and pulls me in for a hug. Then let's go and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

'See you tomorrow' He smiles and opens the door.

I still feel shocked. I walk through the halls real fast and then finally I'm back in my room.

Amber is still reading her magazine.

'Hey' I say

'Hi' she says without even looking up

'have you seen Carl?' I ask

'No, are you two finally hitting it off?'

'What do you mean?'

'O, come on like you don't know he likes you.'

'he doesn't I say.'

'How many times was he there for you. Holding you when you cried. Helping you escape. Making sure you're first time wasn't with some old guy.' She says 'I could keep going on. He likes you so much. I don't get why you don't see it.'

O my, I never realized it…

Let's hope it isn't true.

I can't add this to everything..

Everything I already have to deal with.

'I have to find him..' I say.

'You'd better and tell him I'm here if he needs someone.' Amber says

I run down the hall.

I see Carl in his room.

'Hey' I say.

'Hi' he smiles 'I saved some for you' He points at the food. I see some salad.

'Thanks, but I think we should talk.' I take a seat beside him.

He looks at me confused 'about what?'

I take a deep breath 'About Amber telling me that you like me'

'O that..' he looks away.

'Is is true?' I ask.

He looks back at me 'Ever since the first time you were here…you're amazing. How couldn't I like you. So pretty, so sweet, but so broken..That's why I helped you, especially in the beginning. Then we became friends. But I fell for you from the beginning.' He tells me.

I don't know what to say…

So he continues 'I get that you don't feel anything for me. I get that.' He looks so sad..

'It's not that I don't feel anything for you, but just not that way..I always saw you like my big brother. Who was always there for me. Watching me. I'm sorry.' I say

'It's okay. I didn't expect anything. As long as nothing changes. I love you no matter what. If it's as a girlfriend or as my sister.' He smiles.

'Nothing will ever change. I love you too.' I hug him. 'O, And Amber is single and into you.'

'I know, but she's not my type.' He says.

'Why she's really pretty'

'Yeah, she is. Just in a different way' He says.

'She's also nice. I think. I don't know her so good actually' I say.

'She's really nice.' He says.

'She isn't broken is the only difference I can think of'

He looks at me sadly 'She's broken too. But we've tried. Before you came here.'

'Really you were a couple?' I ask

'Yeah, it's unbelievable right. But it's true. It just didn't work.' He says.

'Were you with her like with me?' I ask

'No, you were really broken. And I liked you from the start. She was my first. But you felt like my first.' He smiles.

'I was glad you were my first.' I say. I give him a hug 'But now I have to go change.'

He looks at my tinny dress 'Why it looks good on you'

'I don't feel comfortable in it.' I say. I grab the salad and walk out the door. 'Bye'

'Bye'

I walk back to my room.

Amber got up and picks up an cardigan and puts it over her lingerie.

'You got a job?' I ask

'Yeah, what did Carl say.'

'That you're not his type. He told me you two dated before. Was he your first?' I say'

'No, but I rather don't talk about my first' she says with tears in her eyes.

I walk to her give her a hug. She pulls away 'Bye' she walks away.

I put the salad down the table and start packing.

I don't believe I'll get out of here tomorrow but I still have hope.

I can't give up that hope.

Not yet.
