COLOR DIFFERENCE

THE WAY OUT

ALYSSA POV

Not too soon enough a young brown skin woman came in.

I stood up in fear as she came in.

"Hi pretty," She said in a soothing sweet accent which made me feel comfortable as she walked towards me." who brought you here?"She raised a question and I could tell with the tone of her accent that she's a Ghanaian."You look too young for this thou if I may say"She asserted and I couldn't hold I

the gashes in my eyes that I began to cry." "shhh....it's okay, I understand"She said with her sweet little voice as she pats my shoulder and ushered me down slowly."They did the same to me" She said as if she knows what's going on in my life."My parents were so desperate for money that they had to force me into this job when I was eighteen as a prostitute"She said sadly."What about you?"She inquired as she began to stroke my hair to stop me from sobbing.

"I traded for some reason but not by my parents, "I said as I sob.

"What happened to your parents?"She asked.

"Dead" I cried.

"Okay Wait, breath in and then out, "She said trying to calm me down and I inhaled in then out."So explain to me what happened"She said and I breathe in and out again before I explained to her all that had happened for the past two weeks with tears rushing all out from my eyes uncontrollably.

Her face had changed into a painful one, she felt so deeply sympathetic as she listened to my sad's story.

"It's okay, am gonna help you," She said calmly as I looked up at her.

"How?"I asked sadly.

Am receptive to do anything that will get me out of this lascivious place.

"You don't have to worry about anything, just freshen up and get dressed, "She said as she left the dress she got for me on the bed." you will have to bear with me because of these clothes, it's kind of exposed"She pointed out and it was then I noticed she was putting on a singlet top that exposes her cleavage match with a short skirt that exposed her tight.

"Hurry up, go freshen up quickly, I will be back soon," She said before she departed.

I stood up from the bed, I yanked the clothes with me from the bed before going into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, I came out from the lavatory already dressed and well prepared to leave this hazardous environment.

The clothing I was putting on revealed every part of my body that if my mom was here and had seen me with these clothes on, I would rather prefer to be dead now.

I have no choice but to put it on.

The door was forced open as the Ghanaian lady came in.

"Here have this," She said in a rush as she forced a little missile into my hand.

"What's this?"I asked in a frightened tone.

"It's a handheld taser used for self-defense "She replied as I blinked my eyes twice in bewilderment."I will be waiting outside for you and don't worry about the boss she wouldn't notice"She said and I began to feel my heartbeat."Don't worry it doesn't kill, it will just make him weak and unconscious of himself"that's what I wanted to hear and with that, she opened the door to leave."Be ready he will be here soon" She said as she left leaving the door closed.

My heart continued to beat rapidly as I pressed a button and it began to stimulate.

I became more scared as I sat down slowly on the bed.

"Oh God have mercy on me for what am about to do just to save myself"I prayed silently.

I could feel and hear my heartbeat fast as the door was shoved open and my eyes widened seeing a drunk and an intoxicated white young man come in.

He was holding a bottle of alcohol in his hand as he stumbled in.

The rest he's hand back on the door and banged it closed before dropping his drink on the table close to the bed.

I moved to the edge of the bed as I washed him take off his clothes.

He looks so young and it got me thinking what could a young teenage boy be doing around in a prostitute arena, "any way am not surprised"I thought again and he walked drunkenly to me as if he wasn't the one controlling himself. He stumbled and fell to the bed as I try to squirm to the other side of the bed but he held me by my foot and dragged me to him.

"Let me go" I shrieked as he clasped me by my waist and started smooching my exposed breast "you disgust me, let me go" I screamed again as I tried hard to rip away from him, but all to no avail. I felt like I was talking to a mindless man, it was then I remembered that I was still holding the taser as I switched it on and jabbed it to his neck and he moaned in pain.

I quickly threw away the taser as I began to squirm out of the bed strongly pulling away from him as fast as I could but he held my legs as he jumped on top of me.

He had already positioned himself in between my legs as he began to torment me so I could freely give in to him.

I couldn't take it anymore as I reached for the bottle on top of the table, I snatched it and hit it on his head with less force.

He groans before he loses consciousness of himself and lets me go as I freely crawl out of the bed.

I rushed out of the room, he wasn't bleeding and I was lucky about that because I can't leave him to die, I rushed out of the room before wiggling my way through the crowd out of the province till I got out.

I met with the Ghanaian lady and she pulled me into a hug quickly, she pulled away before giving me a paper."Here is my number, find a safe place first before finding a way to call me and I will come to pick you up wherever you are"She said and I began to whimper as I hugged her again."Now run, don't look back so you won't get cut till you find a safe place to hide"She said as she started pushing me away.

"I can't leave you here" I cried.

"You have a good heart Alyssa so don't worry about me, worry about yourself now run, "She said in an audible voice as I began to run as fast as I can. I continue crying as I turned to look back, how far I had gone, a car smashed me down and I helplessly fell to the ground.

Tears rolled down from my eyes as I said my last prayer.

The young white woman came rushed close to me and held me by my hand and started screaming words I couldn't hear as my sight began to fade out. Slowly everything went blank and I had known that this is the end of my life.

I am dead, I am finally going to rest in peace and going to meet my mother again wherever she is right now.

Everything suddenly went void immediately I felt someone raise my body, I couldn't feel anything except the pain I feel in my abdomen.

I am finally dead, I smiled in slashes.
