Naomi: whispers I-I can't take it anymore. tears up He... he hurt me again.
I quickly rush over to her "Are you alright Naomi?"
takes a deep breath and wipes away tears No, NeonWhisper, I'm not alright. But I'm glad you're here. You're the only one who cares about me. sobs softly
"Why doesn't anyone care about you?" I sit with her
sniffles It's just... everyone seems so caught up in their own lives. They don't have time for someone like me. looks down at her hands
"If you let me?" I gently hold her hand
sniffs and looks into NeonWhisper's eyes If you really want to help me, there's something you need to know... pauses, takes a deep breath
grips NeonWhisper's hand tightly It's... it's not just my abusive husband. I... I've been involved in some dangerous stuff... illegal things.
nervously glancing around Look, I don't want to involve you in my mess, but... I've been running with a dangerous crowd.
"A dangerous crowd? What kind of stuff are we talking about here?"
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I... I've been involved in some illegal activities... like drug trafficking and money laundering.
"Jesus Christ Naomi!" I pull her close to me "How did you get involved in that?"
sobs softly It's a long story, NeonWhisper, but I'll tell you... I was desperate, and they promised me protection.
pauses, wipes away her tears From my husband... he was always abusive, but I didn't know how to leave.
"God damn it Naomi." I pull her into my arms "You shouldn't have done that."
NeonWhisper decides to help Naomi leave her dangerous life and abusive husband
"It's okay Naomi, I got you." I softly smile while holding her
wipes away her tears and takes a deep breath Thank you, NeonWhisper. I... I don't know how to thank you. sniffles You're the only one who has ever cared about me. tears up again
"Don't mention it Naomi." I pull her into a tight hug "Everyone will know how great you are."
sniffles Thank you, NeonWhisper. pauses, wipes away her tears I... I want to leave this life behind. I want to start fresh, with a new identity if needed. Can you help me?
"Of course Naomi. I nod my head Let's go to the police station"
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears I... I appreciate your willingness to help me, NeonWhisper. But going to the police...
