Little Lady

Chapter 2

*Amanda's POV*

I can't just go and tell the authorities about Dan,more or less about what he does to me. I had to think of something to do or say,but every time I thought of something that might work,I look at what might happen in the future and it doesn't look good for anybody. I decided that sooner or later the truth would have to come out, so I then proceeded to tell them what I had just told the doctor adding in some of Dan's information. Through the whole thing I couldn't stop trembling and thinking of how much worse the nurse had made this situation for me.

When I was done explaining my story to the detectives and the police officers, and they had went into another room where I guess were more authorities. Great. The doctor took me out of my bad thoughts by coming over and giving me a warming hug and humming a tune I haven't heard before.

"I know how hard this is for you Amanda,but you will get through this some way or another." He spoke softly into my ear.

"But would if Dan finds out? He'll kill me! He doesn't even love me! I'm worth nothing to him!" I cried out all of the thoughts I was having from the past 3 hours.

" Amanda" He took my shoulders in a comforting grasp, "I would never let him hurt you."

"Thank You." Was all I could get out before crying for the 4th time today,but this time it was easier to let the tears fall while having someone who genuinely cares for me whispering positive thoughts into my hair.

"Amanda,here's my card." He said giving me a rectangular card, " If you ever need help or are in trouble, or god forbid you get hurt again, call me."

"Thank you Dr. Wilkinson. For everything." I thanked him while drying up the new tears from my face and neck.

"Anytime." He said while giving me a final hug. I grabbed my jacket off the hook followed by my purse. I slipped the card into my purse,not even bothering to zip my bag back up. We said our final goodbyes and I left out to my car and drove away from what little safety I felt there.

About halfway back on my way home I notified that there was a black jeep that looked a lot like Dans car. I brushed it off and tried to ignore it by turning on the radio to BBC Radio 1, and just then my favorite song came on. Cheers by Rihanna.

*** Cheers to the frickin weekend,  

I'll drink to that,yeah-e-yeah  

Oh, Let the Jameson sink in 

I'll drink to that,yeah-e-yeah 

Don't let the bastards get you down 

Turn it around with another round Everybody putcha glasses up and I'll drink to that

My mind made me drift away from the music to the jumbled up thoughts in my head. What excuse would I make up for Dan? He would probably be drunk as usual,so maybe he wouldn't remember a shitty excuse that I could make up. He would've already been back from Gretchen's house and would be wondering where I went to. At the next stoplight I went to check my phone. 3 missed calls all from Dan,and 4 new texts,2 from Dan and 2 from Ed.

Well shit! I need to get home ASAP! I didn't bother responding to any of the texts,and just slid my phone into my jacket pocket. I sped a little bit for the rest of the way home and got there at 2:45. Phew! I didn't see any cars in the driveway or in the garage so i assumed Ed was almost there and Dan would be back later. I got to the door and unlocked it and as I was turning the nob I felt a cold blade on my neck. I didn't even have to guess who it was. I glanced over and saw that Dans car was parked but still running right behind mine. He kicked me into the entryway,and not being the least bit gentle. The unforeseen attack on me made me drop my purse to the floor.

"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?!" He was now towering over me,demanding an answer. I remembered the excuse I made in the car and thought it through one last time before it came out like word vomit.

"I was at Ed's house,he wanted to celebrate my birthday today." I explained as calmly as I could get it.

"Bullshit! I followed you from the hospital! What were you doing there!?"

"I just wanted to check if my jaw was okay after you hit me last night!" I screamed with all my might,while trying to hide the card that fell out of my purse.

"BULLSH-.....What is THAT?!" He yelled pointing to the white card that just so happened to be showing upward so that you could see the doctors name and phone number. There was so much silence that you could probably hear a pin drop a mile away. He then started to walk ever so slowly towards me,gripping the knife as if he let it loose he would die. He was now less than a foot from my face with the blade closer to my face. I closed my eyes tight praying that it would e quick and painless. Hah. I prayed that Ed would be safe. I lastly prayed that I would soon be with my parents and my grandma. I held my breath for what seemed like hours,until I heard a jab into human flesh,except I didn't feel it. Was I just in shock? Am I already dead from not breathing? I slowly blinked and let the held breath out and sucked in air. I saw one thing that i thought I would never see. There was Ed. And a lifeless body with Ed's knife, that he always carries with him, sunk into my uncles body. I blinked just to make sure I wasnt imagining what I saw,but like I saw before, Ed had killed Dan. The first thing I could register was to hug Ed,which I did. And I didnt ever want to let him go. Ed saved my life. He changed my life. Forever.
