Where would I even go from here?
I sat on the edge of the bed, feeling defeated. I had no family who wanted me, no friends I could trust anymore, no money of my own... Just nothing.
Suddenly, I remembered the paper Victoria had given to me earlier, telling me to call her if I needed anything. But she had left for an emergency I didn't even know what kind. Was it fair to call her now, on top of whatever she was already dealing with?
But what else would I do? I had no one else. It was either I called her for help or remain here with that monster. I didn't want to.
So, I dug out the paper from my pocket and dialed the number.
Shortly, she answered the phone.
"Ma'am? Is everything alright?"
"Victoria... Are you okay? Did everything get handled?"
