12A/n: here's chapter three please excuse the grammar mistakes but I am in need of a beta so if anyone would like to my beta please let me know in your review.
LoneWolfsHowl- I see what you meant by me rushing things in the second chapter but I wrote it like that because Alex doesn't know what to think about Zachary helping her but she has no one else to turn to and she's very confused so she clinged to the person who was there if you have any questions or any other suggestions feel free to let me know and thanks for reviewing chaps 1 and 2
Starlightxmagic - thanks for the review glad you like it
Chapter 3: releases rescues and inoccence
It had been five days and no one came in to identify me. I wanted to stay in the hospital longer but I knew they were going to release me anyway.
Even though I agreed to have Zachary take me in I decided to refuse his offer .he seemed real nice but he was still a stranger so I didn't feel like i could fully trust him.
Something told me that id never been able to trust anybody before so how did I know I could trust him .I knew Zachary would try to convince me to change my mind so I checked out before he came to the hospital to pick me up.
I had some money in the purse that was found on me.
They thought there would be some kind of Identification in it but my driver's license and any other form of identification must have fallen out of the purse and into the water.
I called a cab to pick me up .I didn't know where I would go so I asked the cab driver where the nearest women shelter was.
" uh the nearest shelter is Montgomery on 54th street but, why would someone who can afford a cab need to go to a
shelter you hiding from somebody chicky" he said
" first of all don't call me chicky and its none of your business so just drive me to the shelter " I said rudely
"Alright, alright calm down " he said as he pulled away from the corner and drove off towards 54th street . We arrived at the shelter about fifteen minutes later I paid the driver and entered the shelter.
When I walked in, there were people everywhere women talking and kids running all over the place, one of them ran in to me " sorry miss" he said and ran off to catch up with the other children.
I guess I should have expected that, it being winter and all I walked up to a desk a women with a name tag that said Angela was sitting at the desk "may I help you?" she asked
" Um I " I struggled with the words at first then I told the women my whole story of being in the hospital and not knowing who I was and that I needed a place to stay
"I'm sorry but were all full up we actually have more people than we can hold I really would like to help you but there's no space I'm sorry, maybe you could go to warrenanother shelter not to far from here I'll give you directions, hold on a minute"
there seemed to be some sort of problem at the back of the room ,some kind of argument .Angela went to settle it while I waited .
I waited for what seemed like hours and Angela never came back another lady approached me and said I had to leave because there was no room.
she was very rude about and she actually pushed me out the door of the shelter
"I guess I have to find the other shelter on my own " I said out loud as I started to walk down the street.
I was walking down a bad neighborhood there was graffiti everywhere and people laying on the street I passed a ranting drunk
" hey sweet thing can I have a taste "
I ignored him and walked faster, well as fast as a girl on crutches can , he started to follow me the faster I walked the more he followed me .
I walked in to an alley to try to trick him but he saw me go in to the alley and he cornered me there I screamed as he tugged at my clothes I tried to kick him but I missed and his grip on me intensified, for a drunk guy he sure was strong.
I screamed again as he tried to kiss me he smelled like beer cigarettes and sweat I tricked to kick him again and this time I didn't miss I got him in the shins and started to run but he caught up with me and cornered me again
and this time he pulled out a knife.
" don't you try to scream or ill cut you "
I couldn't believe what was happening I was about to get raped by a crazy drunk with a knife I closed my eyes and heard a scream but the scream didn't come from me .
I opened my eyes the drunken guy was on the ground and Zachary was there with a two by four in his hand I was so rattled that I fainted.
When I awoke up I was lying on a bed I had no idea where I was or how I got there I got off the bed I was in a room I opened the door .
" hello "
I yelled
"hello"
I walked around the house and didn't find anybody I opened the door to the room next to me and inside was a bedroom the walls were blue and there were stuffed animals everywhere and a little bed in the corner and next to it a desk on the desk was a picture it was of Zachary a women and a baby who looked a few months old.
I picked up the picture and looked closely at it then I put it down.
" Hi !"
a voice said behind me I turned around and there was a little girl behind me she looked like the same girl from the picture but older
" hi "
I said walked over to her bed and took a bear off her bed
" my mommy gave this one to me before she went away "
the little girl said and then she put the bear back and walked out the room I followed her and found Zachary in the kitchen
" you woke up" he said
" yea I did where am I ,what happened?"
"You're at my house."
"How did you find me? "
It's a long story but your safe now"
something told me that he was right as I remembered the whole ordeal and Zachary saving my life yet again, my thoughts were interrupted by the little girl.
"my name is Madison, what's your name? " she said
"that's a pretty name " I replied
" so what's your name" she asked again but before I could reply Zachary said
" Madi why don't you go to your room I think Arthur is on. "
"Ok daddy that's my favorite show " she said as she skipped to her room.
" Your daughters beautiful."
"Thank you " he said
"I think I should thank you for saving me again I'm sure that drunk would have raped me or worse it was so scary." I was beginning to tremble at the memory of what happened in the alley"
there was silence till Madisonsuddenly appearedfrom her room.
" daddy, I'm thirsty ,can you bring me some cherry juice please? "
"Ok, Madi but don't yell ,remember your supposed to use your indoor voice"
he replied as he went into the kitchen opened the fridge and got out a juice box and gave it to Madison
" Sorry daddy, thank you " she said and went back to her room ,when she left there was silence again between Zachary and me until I spoke.
" so where's her mother "
Zachary's face turned pale and he stayed silent ,then he solemnly answered
" she died a few months after Madison was born."
" I'm sorry"
" Don't be id rather not talk about it though "
He said obviously he had experienced some pain in his past too again I was lost in my thoughts but was broken away from them when Zachary spoke.
" do you want something to eat or drink? "
'No I'm fine ,I should leave now thanks again but I should try to get to a shelter or something " I said as I walked towards the door but Zachary stopped me
" you shouldn't be walking out in the street by yourself you can stay here tonight I have a guest room tomorrow ill help you find a shelter that will take you in until your memory comes back.
"I don't know Zachary are you sure? "
"call me Zach, and Yes I'm pretty sure."
"Well all right but just for tonight but I don't have any clothes except the clothes on my back. "
''Well um you can borrow one of my shirts to sleep in tonight "
"I guess thanks again " I said
Zachary was being so nice to me but don't know if I trust him now but what if when I get my memory back and I
have to return to my life of pain. Would I want to regain my memory only time can tell
