Chapter 8...Part 4

The couple had been at her parents’ house for a few days when the girl had just had it with the whole situation. Her friend from Oklahoma was back in Utah and she just needed to get away. She called him and begged him to come get her. She packed up her stuff and headed out the door. She intended to be gone for the weekend so she could have a break. She knew if she stayed that there was a good chance that the cops would end up at her parents’ door and she didn’t want that. She was at her very limit.

The guest was incredibly upset that the girl was leaving. She said she was going to spend the weekend with friends. He told her she was not leaving and she told him she was. She didn’t know for sure what she was going to do but she needed to get away to figure things out. She knew she couldn’t make any choices if she stayed at her parents’ house. She was also sleeping in a Lazy-Boy chair and she hadn’t had a good sleep since they had left the condo.

She finally walked out of the house and down the driveway. She had told her friend to meet her down the street and told the guest that her friends didn’t want to be involved so they weren’t picking her up at her parents’ house. He was even more mad but let her go.

The girl got away for 24 hours and it was so peaceful. It was the first time she had been away from the guest in several months. She had not slept one night without him near her. It was so freeing and the girl remembered what she had been missing for months.

Frank wanted the girl to run away with him to Oklahoma. He promised to take care of her and get her out of the situation. The girl knew she couldn’t do that for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons was that she knew she needed to do this on her own. It was time for her to stand up for herself. The other was that the guest was still staying with her parents and the girl just couldn’t do that to them, especially since they had tried to help her.

Frank was very mad about the situation but he took her home.
