Katie could hear her name being spoken. And she could feel something cold in her eye. It hurt. She moaned and tried to turn away.
Myles heard her moan a second time. “Katie, it’s me Myles,” He said a little louder this time.
Katie heard his voice, and she opened her eyes. She looked at him, a flash or fear across her face for a moment, but then she relaxed. It was just a lovely young man, the one who had picked her up off the road and brought her to this comfortable place with a nice bed. And then she looked around. She had fainted outside. Now she was back inside. She recognized it as the living room that they had passed through to go outside.
She felt Embarrassed. Not only was he giving her a free place to stay and free clothes, but now he had to carry her inside because she fainted. She found herself whispering. “Im sorry.” She liked him. She really did. But she wasn’t well in the head to experience a crush. She needed to figure out what she was going to do now that she had escaped. And what about the reason for fainting?
Myles smiled at her. “Don’t apologize Katie. You fainted. You don’t have control over things like that. I’m just glad you woke up. I brought you a water. If you think you can drive some it might help.” He held up the water.
Katie Focused on the water. she was a little thirsty. She had drunk all the water from last night after crying in the bathroom. She almost cried again. Her head was so messed up. Her body was so messed up. How is she ever gonna begin to fix it? She ought to go to a hospital, but she didn’t want to tell anybody anything about where she’d come from or who had done it. She didn’t want them to find her.
