CHAPTER THREE

Chapter 3 The escape Ben walked out, leaving some water and some bread beside my bed. I closed my eyes for a moment. I heard some one knocking on the door. I said “come in.” Jesse came in carrying a tray with milk and eggs. He said “hello.” A tear rolled down my cheek. I said “Jesse?” he said “Taylor, eat this it will make you feel better.
