Maya's p.o.v
“MAYA”, “MAYA WAKE UP” I felt myself being shaken awake.
“whats going on” I asked Lewis curiously.
“you were screaming in your sleep and when I came in you were convulsing” he said the worry obvious in his voice...low and cautionary.
“im sorry did I wake you”
“no. I was fix'n too wake up anyways”and for the first time noticed the slight barely noticeable twang in his deep voice. “I was thinkin” he began nervously.
“yes??”
“well maybe if your ready then today we'll go into town and get you some clothes and maybe ….file a police report”
“umm sure ..” I said.
“well that’s settled ill go get breakfast ready and you come down whenever your ready.
“okay...thanks...for everything” I'd been there for over a week now and found Lewis was very trust-able. At first I was scared he would be just like Dan but found he was completely opposite. The third day I was there came home from work with a present for me....a book on getting past kidnap and I cried but instead of hitting me he wiped my tears away and layed me on the bed....and just walked away. He never touched me in ways I didn’t like and he even let me leave the house WITHOUT permission.
I quickly put on some clothes Lew had gotten from the store and walked downstairs to the smell of bacon and egg's. I'd just started eating again a few days ago and yesterday I was actually able to keep it down. Lately every time something touched my tongue the thought of dans strange thing in my mouth,his blood intermingled with my saliva ….the thought made me just want to hurl. But I was getting past it and today was the 1st step.getting rid of all things I associated with Dan
We arrived in town a about l an hour later and came to what looked like the biggest store ever. I looked at in awe having never seen a store that big. Beside me Lew looked over and laughed. I looked at him cross
“whats so funny”
“nothing its just you act as if you've never seen a mall” I looked down flushing at my ignorance.
“well....i haven't”i said quietly “
“I'm so sorry....for give me ?”
“yes its not your fault” we took off our seat belts and proceeded to go into the mall which I found was made up of a million stores first we went to this one with a million brightly colored clothes . Lew started piling clothes in my hands to try on. After
we went to a store full of nothing but good smelling things. Lotions,candles soaps. Dan bought me anything I said smelled nice. before leaving we went to an underwear store and I was slightly embarrassed but knew it was needed I was wondering though why he was being so kind but then he looked over at me and smiled with such a twinkle in his eye that answered my question. We were leaving the food court when something caught my eye...it was a sign outside something called a “day spa” it said
“salt body scrub.
Scrub away your past
wash away your worries
let your troubles be scrubbed away
seeing me look at the sign Lew walked me in an swiped his magic plastic and a lady took me in the back. First she told me to take off my clothes. Seeing my hesitation she assured me it was strictly professional. I was skeptical but I needed to do it...so I could put that stuff behind me so I did. She turned around and gasped loudly I guess at seeing all my bruising’s and cuts. She leaned down next to me.
“ Tell me who did this to you....was it that man out there? We can have him sent away where he cant hurt you”
I was touched by the lady’s kindness
“no....he actually saved me”
“well look ill give you my card as you leave so you can call me if you ever need me” then she started and by the time she finished I did feel like a whole new person I soaked in the tub to rinse then got out and dressed. Lew met me at the door and we started driving home.
“OMG I REMEMBER THAT PLACE “ I yelled pointing at a food place I remembered from my youth with a bi yellow “M” but I couldn’t think of the name after we stopped there and ate we finished the drive home saying we'd go to the police station later but as I walked in my room my jaw dropped along with the bags in my hands.
There sitting on my bed was marlo.
