Escape in the Night

Chapter 27

*short chapter*
Regina's POV:
I wasn't ready to talk to my mother yet but it had to be done. I needed to talk to her and know why she did this to me. Robin was coming with me because I didn't want to be alone with her. So knowing he was gonna be there helped me.

As we pulled up to the house I started to shake. I was honestly scared but who can blame me. She is the reason I'm in my state of mind. I sigh a little before taking my seatbelt off and taking Robins hand so he could help me out of the car.

"You ready?" He asked.

I just nod unable to talk at the moment. We slowly walk up to the door before Robin softly knocked. About 30 seconds later the door opened and my mother appeared. I took a deep breath in.

"Hello Regina, and Robin." She said.

"Hi," I whisper hiding behind Robin a little.

"Come in," she said as she stepped aside.

Robin and I walk in and she told us to go into the living room so she could get us some water. When she came back she handed us the water before sitting across from us. It took a few moments before she finally spoke up.

"Have you talked to your father?" She asked.

"Umm. Yea. I-I was on the p-p-phone with him last n-night," I stutter squeezing Robins hand.

"That's good. He wants to talk today over a late lunch," she tells me.

"With you?" I asked.

"Yea," she says.

"Oh. Hope that goes all well," I say softly.

"Regina-" she starts.

"I'm moving out," I cut her off.

"What?" She asked.

"I can't say here. Robins parents said I'm more than welcome to stay with them," I tell her.

"I understand," she said softly.

"Thank you," I say.

My mother and I talk for about an hour or so before I start to squirm a little. I had to use the bathroom. I pull on Robins arm and he looks down at me.

"I have to go pee," I say.

"Ok," he says. "She has to use the bathroom," he tells me mother.

"The bathroom is in the same spot dear," my mother said.

"Go use the bathroom," he said.

I whimper. I pull on his arm to come with me because I didn't want to go by myself.

"Come," I whisper.

"Ok," he replied.

He helps me up and we walk to the bathroom and he stood outside the door. I used the bathroom before standing in front of the mirror and thinking about this. I don't know how I feel about this. But I know I wanted to move out and live with Robin. Living with my mother just brings back all the horrible things she has done to me. And I don't want to think about that anymore. I have Robin and his parents and my group of friends and my father. I will be fine without my mother.

I walk out of the bathroom and Robin was on his phone. So I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his waist. He looks at me and smiles. He then wraps his arms around me. I sigh and was enjoying the moment until I felt the sudden urge to throw up. I ran into the bathroom and made it just in time. Robin came in and rubbed my back softly.

"Why don't we go home?" He asked.

"Please," I whimper.
