My Greatest Escape

ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕋𝕨𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕪-𝕊𝕚𝕩

I feel like I just reached heaven.

I smile in excitement. "I heard the museum is doing a mural tribute to the community and they're giving volunteers the option to come and paint on it. And I thought this is totally Maya."

I look at Kol and see his eyes sparkle. He's looking for my approval or any indication that I like the date idea. I stand on my tip-toes and kiss him slowly.

"I love it." Kol and I grab paintbrushes, spray paint, and show him how to properly paint.

"You never answered my question that one time," Kol randomly says.

I continue the outline of a mountain I'm painting. I know what question he's talking about, but I'm going to play dumb.

"What was the question?" I ask, innocently. I can feel Kol rolling his eyes at me. 

"What do you want to do? Who do you want to be?" he asks, intrigued.

I breathe deeply. "A painter."

"Then why are you majoring in business instead of fine arts?" 

"My Mom told me when I was young that being a painter is not a practical job. Business is a standard degree to have that gets you most jobs," I say, blandly. "It's the most practical."

"But not your passion. I mean, what's the point of doing anything if you're not passionate about it?" he asks.

I stop painting and stare at him. I kiss him on the cheek. "No one has ever cared about my passions."

"Well, you never met me till now," he smirks. I smile and continue to help Kol with his painting.

"Have you ever traveled anywhere?" I ask.

Kol nods. "Yeah, my Dad used to take me and my sister to Europe every summer."

I gleam at him sarcastically. "Your money is showing."

Kol smiles in return. "Oh yeah? With your Gucci boots and Chanel perfume. Little rich girl."

I turn to completely face him. "The fact that you know how Chanel perfume smells shows how rich you are."

Kol and I laugh and he brings me into a kiss. Our tongues overlap with each other and I swing my arms around his neck.

We're kissing each other gently when my phone starts to ring. I pull away reluctantly and take out my phone.

An unsaved number.

I step away from the noise and go in the corner. "Hello?" I ask, answering the phone.

"M-Maya, is this you?" a male voice asks. It sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on who it is.

"Who is this?" I ask, trying to sound polite. 

"It's Leo. Angela's Leo," he replies.

I roll my eyes. "What do you want?"

"Angela's been attacked."

My eyes widen. "S-She's been what...?"

"This guy with a really bad tan beat her and was about to rape her, but I got there in time. I chased him off, but Maya...Angela was already unconscious. Her breathing was so shallow."

My entire body is paralyzed in fear as Leo continues shopping. Kol comes up next to me and places a hand on my lower back.

"Maya, what happened?" Kol whispers.

"We're at St. Luke's Hospital..."

After Leo said that, I hang up the phone and run to Kol's car. Kol runs after me.

"Maya, what happened?" Kol asks, finally catching up to me. 

"Give me your keys, Kol." 

"Maya, what's wrong? What happened? Talk to m-"

"Your keys, Kol," I yell.

Kol hands me his keys and gets in the passenger's seat. "What are you doing?" I ask, getting inside the car.

"I'm going where you're going," he simply says and puts on his seatbelt.

I want to smile, but I can't. Because of Angela.

Ryan almost raped Angela.

If Leo didn't get there in time.....

Who knows what would've happened to Angela?
