Thread: A chance encounter. {babyletsplay & Traveler}

It was a relief that he understood about her past and didnt think any different of the woman she was now. Starr watched as he pulled out a business card and begun writing on the back of it. Only when he handed it to her was she able to see his number. He was so kind to offer her a ride and with a nod she would smile and reply, thank you, I just might take you up on that offer They he spoke of how it was the least he could do to repay her. Starr didnt understand What did she do? Other than get him into trouble tonight. There was nothing that had to be repaid Starr shook her head. Please, there is no reason for you to repay me I honestly think I have to repay you. Thank you so much. She smiled a soft sad smile as she replayed the night in her mind She was honestly afraid to be alone tonight. She knew she would be looking around the darkness of the corners in fear thinking Alex is there Ill see you off. Make sure you make it home safe and get a good nights sleep. She told him Starr walked him over to his car. Once he stepped inside she smiled and back away with a wave good bye. She watched as he drove off down the dirt road. Once he was out of sight was when she finally looked around cautiously before turning and heading inside. Slowly she clutched the door knob with shaky hands. Her legs felt like rubber threatening her to loose her balance and fall any moment Finally, the door was open, once again she looked about her home cautiously. For some reason it felt less than her home and more like prison. Like she was trapped. Sighing before she breathed in deep and exhaled slowly. Okay, snap out of it! Im fine, its fine, everything is okay now. Starr tried to convince herself although it wasnt working the way it was supposed too Starr closed the door behind her and locked the bolt, chain, and knob before heading to her room and undressing into her night down finally, the day was over. What a horrible day At least most of it was she spoke to herself as she pictured Drew The only good thing that happened today was him with that thought she placed the card with his number on her night stand before laying down and soon falling asleep RING RING RING The sound of her mobile phone slowly woke Starr up. Her hand fumbled to her night stand and slammed down on the wood as she gripped the phone and answered only half awake. Yes, Hello? Starr! Her friends voice seemed panicked. Causing Starr to sit up in bed quickly. What?! What?! Whats wrong?? Starr seemed worried. I heard what happened last night! Are you okay? she sounded concerned Huh? The memories of the events of last night filled her mind. Starr stood out of bed then headed to the mirror only to reveal her black eye and swollen lip and cheek. Sighing as she touched it then winced in pain. This will be hard to impossible to hide she thought to herself. Starr?? Are you still there?? Are you okay?? the panic in her friends voice returned. Starr sighed. Im alive. So Im fine she told her friend.If you dont mind. Im going to get ready for the day. I will call you later. She didnt give her time to answer before she pressed the end button. Starr tried not to panic herself. When she woke up this morning she thought last night was all a dream and now that she knows it wasnt she couldnt help but panic Starr looked over to her night stand where the card still laid she picked it up, hesitated before she punched in the number in her phone then pressed call. It rang a few time before she heard Drews voice answer it Oh! U-um Hello! This is Starr Sorry to call you but I was wondering would you like to go into town and get some food or coffee? Its on me, Its the least I can do to repay you I still need to get dressed but Ill be ready in like an hour And Im not taking no for an answer! a soft giggle escaped her lips. Once she got Drews response she smiled before hanging up and heading to her shower to freshen up It didnt take long before she turned off the water, wrapping a towel around herself then stepping out of the tub to look in the mirror with a sigh There was nothing she could do about her bruised face so she would have to wear her battle wound with her head high she got Dressed and awaited Drews arrival.
