Chapter 6

After a long day, our class ended I was exhausted. Khyle and Mary has there own dates so here I am waiting for a transportation to pass by when someone pull me and put a handkerchief on my nose.

I woke up hearing some laughter. "She pure and innocent. Maybe this kid is still virgin." Another laughter filled my ears. "I'm getting horny." I open my eyes seeing three men sitting in front of me. "So your now awake, Ms. Salasar." My forhead crumpled.

"Who the heck is Salasar?"

The one with covered of tattoo hold my jaw so tight and it hurts. "Don't fool us. We know your family and you cannot escape this time."

"You are Elizabeth Salasar, right?" I don't know who is Elizabeth Salazar. Her name is familiar but definitely she's not me. "I'm not her! Salazar is not my surname."

"You can't fool us. We already know those strategy." I shake my head. "I said I'm not her. I don't know her!" I yelled at him.

"Don't you dare raise your voice to me!" The other man said then slap me really hard. Kuya James! Mom! Dad! I need you!

I face them again and continue insisting that I am not Elizabeth Salazar. "Lloyd, get the picture again! The smaller one lend the picture then compare me to her.

"Stupid! This is not the daughter of the Salazar." Man with tattoos said then slap the head of the other two. "What are we going to do? She might tell the police about this."

"Then make her silent." Then he leave us. No way! What does make me silent means?  I am really scared now. "You heard what Boss said." They are getting closer to me now. "You look so fresh." The smaller one said.

"Don't worry we'll just gonna play." He tried to kiss my neck. The other one is holding my legs because I'm trying to kick them. "You can't escape from us."

"Help me! Help!" I am screaming as loud as I can. I hope someone could hear me. "Help me please!"

I think I annoyed them from screaming because they punch my stomach three times makes me curl like a ball.

I want to shout more but my throat is hurting and my stomach too. "Help me please. Someone help me." I am just whispering now. The are trying to remove my clothes but I'm not moving so that they can't remove it from me.

"Santa Claus is not giving naughty kids, Christmas gifts." They said then punch me on my face makes my vision dark. I don't have the energy anymore. I can't even push them away from me. Before my eyes close I think I saw someone.

I woke up with white walls and celing. This is not my room. I look around and I saw that I am at the hospital. What happened last night pop up again on my mind. It's not a dream! I can't control myself but silently crying.

No one is here with me maybe Mom and Dad still don't know what happened to me. I don't know how I escape but remembering last night is my nightmare.

The door opens but I didn't move abit. I am just starting at the ceiling while crying. "Jelai," I heard a voice then hug me. "Stop crying now. I'm here. Shhh, I'm here now. I'm sorry I'm late. I'm sorry." He continue whispering at me.

There I realize that it's Marco so I push him away from me. I wipe my tears and didn't speak anything.

When I calm down I felt that he is holding my hands. I am preoccupied from thinking and I didn't even notice him holding my hands. Is he the one who save me? but why and how did he know? We only met few days ago but he acts like we know each other for awhile.

"Hey," I just look at him. "Can you get me some water? Please?" He nodded then get me water. I sit down at my bed and he help me.

"Thank you" I said after drinking.

"My pleasure."

I look at my fingers then I remember again the scene last night. My tears can't stop falling. I felt his hand behind me and other hand using handkerchief wiping my tears. "How did you know that I'm there?"

"Uhmm.. I'm just passing by when I heard scream so I follow the scream and found you. I have my driver with me so I'm not alone."

I am thankful that he heard me. If not I don't know will happen to me. I can't imagine. "Thank you for saving me." I said. "I'm always here." He said before leaving me alone. My heart is beating so fast. Oh my! What is he doing to me? We just know each other for three days!

After he gets out. I fell asleep agaij because my stomach is hurting. I don't know if I'm just hungry or this is because of last night. My cheeks is still sore.

I woke up with the doctor in front of me and my family. They all look worried and Kuya James looks angry. Like he can punch anyone right now.

"How's your feeling? The doctor ask. "I'm fine now." He nodded. He check on my eyes and everything to make sure that I'm fully fine. I don't have wounds or anything.

Before we'll discharge, the doctor recommended a psychiatrist. He's one of our doctors here. He said that it can cause traumatic experience to me so the psychiatrist arrived two in the afternoon. We talk and she said that I'm all good so I got discharged that afternoon.

"For now take a rest, hija. Don't go to school tomorrow." Mommy said and I nodded. I don't feel like school too after what happened I'm scared to commute.
