Jack wrapped his arms around her and pressed her head into his chest.
“I never meant for it to get this far! I’m sorry! I was just scared! I was just so scared..” Anna’s voice cut off as she started choking and coughing.
“Shh hey it’s alright,” Jack tried to sound calm.
“No it’s not! Look at me!” she pushed away from him and gestured her arms at herself.
“I’m only 15 and I’ve run away from home! I can barely take care of myself,” she pulled at her dirty shirt and looked at her messed up jeans. “A man who almost raped me lives so close to me now! Nothing is alright Jack! If you hadn’t found me on that bus this morning, I probably would have been in the obituaries next week due to suicide!” She fell against the wall breathing hard. She put her face in her hands uselessly trying to cover up the tears. Jack stood there in unbelief as he watched this poor girl being ripped apart by the world. He took the key out of her hand and opened the door. He picked her up in his arms and carried her inside.
