Chapter 4

I'm awakened shortly after I sleep hearing sobs and groans. I open my eyes, turn and realize the beautiful girl is sitting on the couch with her back facing me. I pull the blanket covering me away and notice blood on the sheets. Immediately, I get up and approach where she is sitting.

She stares at me with tears in her eyes and looks down.

By this time the effect of the alcohol on my system had subsided and my mind cleared up. I glanced at her and realized she was a minor.

Shit! How come I didn't notice it, I said in my head?

I proceeded to ask of her name and she just sat there quietly and shivering. I sat by her in the couch and calmed her down. She continued crying and I couldn't help but feel guilty for what I had done.

Finally I managed to keep her quiet and repeated the question.

My dear what is your name?. She raised her head and said, "Mildra" in an almost inaudible voice.

I then asked her how old she was

She replied she was sixteen years old.

At that point so many questions started running through my head.

Why would a minor be subjected to such an act?

With the blood stains on the sheet, she surely was a virgin so what was she doing here in a brothel? I kept on questioning myself whiles looking at her pretty face with sadness written all over.

Look, I'm sorry about what happened, I dunno how I found myself in this mess but I assure you I'm not a bad person. I apologised and she nodded her head.

I stand up with confusion clearly written all over my face and head towards the window to get some fresh air.

"Please help me if you claim you're not a bad person". I turn and Mildra is on her knees still in tears. I raise her up onto the couch and assure her everything will be fine.
