Lost soul

On The Run

Rylee POV

After driving for several hours I did exactly what the Doc told me to. I stopped at a rest stop and took a nap. I needed to still figure out exactly what I’m going to do. I look over at my phone and see it has finally turned on. I have several missed calls and texts from my mom and Stacy. I don’t want to tell my mom what’s going on. I can’t risk putting her into danger. Mic knows a lot of people in a lot of high places. God only knows what he’ll do when he finds out I have escaped. I know he’ll come looking for me.

I decided I’m going to call Stacy. She has a uncle not to far I think I can crash there for a few days until I figure out what to do next.

Ring ring ring

Ry is that you? Oh my freaking god girl you better have an excuse why you haven’t gotten back to me? And for a few weeks too?

Sighing..

Stace I’m in trouble.. I.. I need your help.

What the hell did he do? I swear I’m going to kick his… She starts screaming but I don’t hear what she’s saying I cut her off.

Stacy listen I will let you know but right now I need you to hear me and help me. I don’t know how much time I have.

Ok. Tell me what I need to do.?

She finally stopped screaming.

I’m running from Mic. I caught him cheating and he’s been cheating on me basically since we’ve been together. I tried to leave but he locked me in the house for weeks. Took everything from me. I had nothing. I.. I.. I tried to kill myself to get away from the pain and depression but I survived the doctor helped me escape I’m on the run Stace I need somewhere to go to lay low for a few days.. I’m crying at this point

Stacy was so quiet for several seconds I wasn’t sure if she was even on the line anymore..

Stacy?

I’m going to freaking kill him! Ok listen to me Ry. I’m coming to get you and we can come up with a plan once I get there ok?

Okay.. I sigh.

Stace I miss you..

I miss you to Ry. So I’m going to fly out there I’ll see the soonest I can get there where exactly are you?

Im right now currently at a rest stop close to a town called Baker. I was heading towards Las Vegas. I tell her. I feel kind of relieved to talk to her. Knowing she will always have my back. She has always been like a big sister to me.

Ok I’ll fly to Vegas I need you to drive there tonight babe okay? And I’ll fly in tonight. Pick me up at the airport and we will go to my uncles who lives by the strip. He will help.

Okay just let me know when you leave and I’ll let you know how close I get.

We both say our goodbyes and hang up. I feel so much better now. It’s been a few hours since I escaped I should probably get back on the road I only have a few more hours before Mic finds out I’m gone.

Getting back onto the road I head straight to Vegas. It’s going to be about four to five more hours by time I get there I should probably have an hour or so before Stacy will show up.

Vegas.

I finally made it to Vegas it’s late in the night and I’m sure Stacy will be calling me any minute now. It took me a little longer to get here then I wanted it to but I had to stop and rest again. I’m exhausted.

Ring ring ring. I look down and see Stacy’s face appear on the screen. I pick up she’s letting me know she arrived. I’m 15 minutes from the airport so I head straight over and see her standing there waiting.

After picking her up and hugging each other with ugly sobs and all. We head to her uncles.

Are you sure he’ll be ok with this? With helping me?

I’m nervous I’ve never met her uncle but I know a lot about him. He’s ex military.Never had kids or a wife but was once engaged. He found her cheating when he came back from deployment. Never fell In love again.. I feel he’ll understand my situation due to it being similar in sorts but I’m not sure he’ll help yet.

Are you kidding my uncle will do anything for me. And he most definitely won’t have a problem helping he gets bored as he puts it. Stacy says all serious.

Once we arrive at his house I start to sweat a little. God I’m nervous.

We knock on the door and it soon flys open.

There in the door way is non other then Stacy’s uncle Tim.

What the hell are you doing here and in the middle of the freaking night girls? This is Vegas? His voice was deep. For being an old man he was a looker. Tall with broad shoulders narrow waist muscles everywhere. He has blond hair like Stacy and green eyes. Sharp jaw. I was in a daze starting this man down.

We need your help uncle.

Tim looks at me I look down immediately

Okay come in. He says confusion evident in his voice.

We sit in the living room and Tim stands.

Ok so now that we are all inside what’s going on?

Stacy tells him everything. And the whole time he listens contently. He glances at me once in a while.

We need a plan uncle and I thought you would be our best bet. She has to stay low.

I look up at him and he looks at me. Huffing he says

Give me your phone. He says to me sternly

What? I ask confused

I said give me your phone. I just need to check something.

I hand him my phone and he looks through it I don’t know what he’s looking for but he seems satisfied and gives me my phone back.

Ok well you don’t have any type of tracker on it and I blocked his information off. I think it should still be destroyed and I’d recommend getting a new one just in case so he can’t find you. I’ll keep you here until you can get on your feet because I don’t think going back with Stacy to DC would be a wise decision. You’ll be the first person he’d go to other than probably Rylee’s mother. He’ll never come here.

Over run with emotions I can’t help but feel a little bit of relief. I don’t know what came over me but I stand up and walk towards Tim and wrap my arms around his waist. Giving him a hug. He stiffened but he cautiously pats me on the back.

Thank you.. I whisper and let go. I stare at Tim and he has a big smile on his face.

Oh kiddo it’ll be ok. I won’t let anything happen to you while you are here.
