Ludo had just left, and I couldn't help but feel useless. While she was in the hospital and after she returned from the hospital, small, unexpected touches make her jump, and Any mention of those who have caused harm to her, and she becomes cold and bitter. She feels so distant but when her brief glances at me turn into longing stares I can tell she wants to be the way she was before the tragedies.

I notice that I’m constantly stopping myself from touching her, I never realized I did it so much. But I've been giving her plenty of time to shy away before each touch and giving her the option to be held or touched if and when she wants it… but watching her freeze up or randomly start to cry has been destroying me. I want her to be comfortable and happy when she's with me, but I've been feeling so confused.

    The cuffs were uncomfortable, but I had no choice but to sit and endure it seeing how I tried to run away earlier. They droned on about something up in the front but if it was aimed at me, I wasn't paying much attention or listening to them I needed to think of a good way out of this but no matter how I looked at it I didn't see a good or easy way out of this. So, I just gave in. We reached the heavy-duty police station connected to the back of the prison and I was processed and put into an interrogation cell where they questioned me. I gave as little as possible, but I guess I brought something up that they didn't know, and all hell broke loose. “Wait! Did you say you would sell the girls?” “I heard that too.” Fuck.

    I went out to get her a phone now that it was safe for her to be left somewhere alone, but not before helping tend to her foot. I returned and helped her set it up and ran to get her sim card that I had saved until now. Her apps would be gone but the phone numbers saved on it would be on there, and that was good enough for her. Ludo's ankle was fine within hours, but I still decided to have her elevated and ice it before getting some sleep and seeing if it was still okay in the morning. I put her in the guest bedroom just so she can sleep without worrying about her ankle getting kicked or reinjured. Of course, this didn’t last long. I expected it wouldn't. Somewhere about midnight, she came knocking on my bedroom door and I welcomed her in with a warm smile. “My ankle feels fine…” “That’s good… but why are you here?” I knew damn well why. “I was just lonely… is it okay if I sleep with you for the rest of the night?” She seemed so innocent and shy about it. “Sure, I don-” “I’m so

    It was late, about eleven at night… and I was thirsty, so I rolled out of bed and noticed Gray wasn’t beside me. I strolled out of the bedroom and tiptoed to the kitchen, got some chocolate milk, and then tiptoed into the living room in an effort to find him and felt the breeze before I noticed where he was. The living room and the kitchen are connected and open. Basically, everything on the second floor is open, with no hallways, no walls, just a few well-placed pillars, three closed-off bedrooms, and a wall of windows normally covered by a curtain that hides the balcony. But now it was pulled to the side and the curtains were billowing in the refreshing nighttime breeze. The breeze made my oversized shirt billow as well, raising goosebumps on my bare legs, my sleep shorts not doing much to protect me from the breezes' brisk bite.He was st

    “Yeah, I just landed at the airport, are you here?” I looked around at the crowd for a green fatigue uniform with a familiar face but to my dismay, I didn’t find one.“No, but I’m on my way now. Do you have any money for food?”“Yeah, I’ll be fine.”“Good, I’ll call you back in a bit. Go eat.”“Wait, you’re hanging up? Why?“I got to call my buddy and make sure he’s okay. He said he would be landing soon too.”“Uh… okay.”

    I walked out of the terminal annoyed. All I wanted to do was have a nice glass of alcohol, but no I had to remain more professional than the old bags forced to tag along with me. My head was pounding from answering drunk questions the whole ride. I had the right mind to suspend them for such behavior, but if I were in their shoes I’d be drunk too.I ordered a drink at the first bar that I found. Good thing it wasn’t two just yet. I arrived just in time for the final call. Unfortunately, I was only able to order one drink.Oh fuck. I need to get my bag.Even so, I made no moves to retrieve my bag just yet. Relaxing in the quiet atmosphere of the airport halls. Then it hit me… Nando dropped me off. I thought about it for a second, my ass

    Two Years Earlier…“Welcome! One second and I’ll be right with you.”“Take your time,” I called back over to her. “I’m not in any rush.”I studied the girl behind the counter, her long dirty blonde hair was in a neat high ponytail that swayed and swung as she moved around serving guests their drinks, then it was my turn.“What will it be today?“Preferably a liquid lullaby, ‘cause I’ve had one hell of a day.”“My my, being a soldier boy too much hard work, specialist Sanchez?” The way she said my last name shook my core.

    Gray, Julian, and I all went home after the trial and got ready for our flight back home. We all collectively have had enough of Puerto Rico for a lifetime. Honestly, it felt good to pack up and prepare to return to something familiar. I have never been so excited to return to my crappy small apartment. I sighed out in frustration when I realized that I'll be returning to Delaware jobless, then it hit me once again. I still haven't visited his commanding officer yet. I smiled to myself.A pair of hands scared me out of my train of thought, making me jump and quickly shuffle away.“Sorry. What’s on your mind?”“It’s okay you just startled me; I need to borrow the car.” I offered my hand to him.“Oh? For what?” he took hold o

    I woke up the next morning with the sex toys still on the bed a scenario that has been happening very frequently but normally I put them away. I guess I was too tired to put them away. A strange wave of guilt and sadness washed over me and slowly ate away at me.I left him. I- I let him get arrested after all of the times he saved me and helped me get out of the very same situation. I have to get him out… I need to save him. I need to tell him how I feel. There's no way he could still be angry right?I retrieved my bookbag and threw everything into it. Then I reached over to the remote and turned on the tv. I just needed to know the temperature… So, I went to the bathroom while I waited for the weather segment. That's when I

    “Hey! Don Trever! Get up and get ready! Your trial is today, you have ten minutes.”I remained silent and smiled…I get to see my princess today.“Alright, Don Trever face the wall, hands behind your back, you know the drill.”The entire interaction went like clockwork, I faced the wall, he warned me not to move and not to test him while his partner stands outside ready with some form of weapon, they cuff me and walk me straight to the front with no unnecessary stops. They sign me out and make a joke of being back and going on a field trip. I laughed convincingly, they stopped and stared at me before rolling their eyes and saying their farewells.Now we have started entering new territo
