peeks through a tiny crack in the attic floor Great, your ex. What's he doing here, a nostalgia tour?
Stranger
no I told him to come and have sex or he said he would kill me I had no choice but too so now he won’t leave me alone and I’m scared
softens his expression and approaches Stranger Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm here now. I won't let him hurt you. We'll figure this out together, alright?
Stranger
nods
Alright, first things first. We need to make sure you're safe. I'll call the police and report your ex's threatening behavior.
Stranger
please
takes out his phone and dials 911 Don't worry, I've got this handled. Just stay here and keep quiet.
Stranger
ok
speaks in a low, steady tone Alright, listen carefully. Once the police arrive, they'll want to know exactly what happened. You need to be prepared.
Stranger
ok
places a comforting hand on Stranger's shoulder Remember, you did nothing wrong. You didn't ask for any of this.
Stranger
nod she covers her self with blanket
takes off his own coat and wraps it around Stranger's shoulders Here, take my coat. It's cold up here, and you need all the warmth you can get.
Stranger
thanks
checks the time on his watch The police should be here soon. In the meantime, why don't you tell me what happened? Every detail counts.
Stranger
after we were intimate he became abusive and he blamed me saying I did it to him but it was always consensual I never wanted it to happen but he forced me
clenches his fists and grits his teeth I'm so sorry that happened to you. No one deserves to be treated like that, especially not by someone they trust.
Stranger
tears drop slowly
pulls Stranger into a tight embrace, holding them close It's okay to cry, love. Let it all out. You're safe now, and I won't let anyone hurt you again.
Stranger

Stranger
she looks at him
locks eyes with Stranger, determination in his gaze And if he does manage to find his way back to you, I will be right here by your side.
Stranger

Police Officer: squares their shoulders and stares at Jay We're investigating a case of harassment and assault. We understand that you were present during the incident. Care to explain your role in this matter?
Stranger
watches intently

Stranger
she start crying
