Run

I didn't know Josh. We'd barely spoken since I'd opened my eyes. He didn't know me either. I didn't even know me. Still, the faint sound of his breathing in the next room reminded me I wasn't alone, that my protector was nearby. I guess when you desperately need a hero, you'll attach that title to anyone who'll wear it. He hadn't turned me away or betrayed me when I begged him not to call the sheriff even though I couldn't give him a reason why. In my desperate state, that made him my champion. Even so, I was panicked and fighting to remain still while every part of me wanted to run.

It's okay. You're okay. He's right in the next room. He'll hear you if you scream. He won't let anyone hurt you.

I repeated those words in my head over and over, but while they kept me from bolting out the door, they did nothing to bring me peace.
