"Y-You wh-what?" I stuttered.




I stared at his back, dropping the photo.




I didn't know how to respond.




Romelo didn't answer my question, and my heart pounded in my chest. He turned around, and looked at me.




"I used to work with him."




"Why?" I breathed.




"It's a long story," Romelo sighed.




"H-How do I know that you aren't this..him?"




He chuckled, "Because, I would've killed you already."




I had a little trust in him, but that was kicked to the curb with that bit of information.




Now I definitely didn't trust him.




I bit my lip, and Romelo lifted my head up.




"Don't worry..I wouldn't hurt you."




I didn't know what to believe.




"Please..just let me go home."




That's what I want more than anything. To go home. This is like some sick joke someone's playing on me, but it is very much reality.




I just couldn't wrap my head around it..




Why would someone want to kill me?




"Honestly, if I could let you leave, I would.." He whispered.




Tears stung my eyes, and as a surprise to Romelo, I hugged him tightly, gripping his black shirt.




I felt his arms wrap around me, holding me tightly.




I cried into his chest, feeling him rub my back in small circles. Romelo smelt like a sweet mixture of Old Spice and chocolate, and I relished being in his arms.




I didn't like him, but his hug meant something to me.
















"I'll let you see your parents."




My jaw dropped, and Romelo smiled.
