Lena's pov

I ate my salad and packed my bags.

I tried to sleep for a couple hours but I was too nervous.

I look at my bags.

I actually have a lot of clothes.

Most of them I can't wear here.

Half of them were from my mom.

But I fit them I have the same size now.

She had a great fashion sense.

I packed 2 big bags.

It's all I have here.

'Why have you packed?' Amber asks 'Another try at escaping?'

'No, that last time still hurts.' I say

'Then why?'

I can't tell her…she would think I'm crazy. I try to change the subject 'So how old was your client?'

'At least 60, now please tell me.' She tries again.

'You would think I'm crazy' I say

'I never would'

I try to find the right words 'Remember when we talked about true love?' I ask

'Yeah' she answers

'Well, I met my true love today. He found me and told me to get ready because he would get me out of here the next day. And now it is the next day.' I say really fast

She smiles 'I'm so happy for you. So what was he like?'

I smile thinking about him. 'Really cute, sweet and funny'

'But I'd thought you told me that you would run away. That you were scared. That you wouldn't take that risk.' She says

I shake my head. She's right..'I know..And I still don't think it would work out but I'll talk to him about that when he got me out of here.'

She looks at me disapproving.

'I know that's not a way to repay him. But I have to be honest to him. And my biggest dream is to get out of here right now.' I say.

'And what then? You don't have a life to go back to right?' She says.

'No, I don't' I say thinking about my dress. 'Do you?'

'Yes, I have someone to go back to'

I wait but she doesn't continue. She probably doesn't want to talk.

I want to know since the beginning I do.

'Amber, why don't we talk?' I ask

'We talk all the time' she says

'You know what I mean. Not about the real stuff. Not about the hard things. Just the easy things.'

'Because we both already have to worry about ourselves. You can't also have to think about me too.'

'What if I can?' I ask. Even know I know I can't carry her pain too. I just really want to know.

'Someday, you can. You're stronger than me. So much stronger and braver.' She smiles

'Are you never curious about my story?'

'Of course, But I know I can't lift you too. I could never handle it.' She smiles at me sadly.

I don't know what to say.

So I don't say a thing.

'POLICE! POLICE!' I hear someone shouting from the hall.

Amber and I run to the hall. We see Jeff the owner being handcuffed.

There's a guy with him with a black ponytail. 'You're under arrest'

I see Carl running down the hall. He tries to come to me and Amber.

But he's stopped by the guy with the ponytail.

'LENA!' someone shouts down the hall.

I see Will walking around.

Then he sees me and runs to me.

'I'd said I would get you out of here.' He smiles.

I just smile. Not sure what to say.

Luckily Amber saves me 'Hi I'm Amber' or maybe not so lucky 'you must be Lena's true love.'

'Yeah, I'm Will' He shakes her hand.

'Well, since I finally can get out of here I'd better start packing. I have someone to go too' Amber says.

'I'll help you' I say

Amber looks at me angry and mimes 'Stay with him'

I turn to Will and give him a hug 'Thank you so much, I'll be right back.'

I walk in after Amber 'Now you have to tell me'

'Have to tell you what?' Amber says

'Your story' I say.

She ignores me

'I know your biggest dream and fear and I think it has something to do with what happened.'

She looks up. 'What is my biggest dream then?'

'To find you true love' I say

'Biggest fear?' she asks

'To never find it, to lose it forever. Actually it is to give up hope.' I say.

She looks away again. I turn towards her. Tears are falling down her face.

'I loved him so much. I always hoped to find him again. But what if I can't. I can't live without him.' She really cries now.

I hug her. 'It will all be all right. Please tell me what happened. Maybe I can help?'

She looks into my eyes.

Her mascara is ruined. And her brown eyes look at me sadly.

She stops crying.

One tear still is falling down her cheek.

'Fine, I'll tell you my story. But please don't change the way you always saw me. You are my best friend. Even know we didn't really talk. You'll always be in my heart.' She sights 'I don't know where to begin…O no I do.'
