Surviving Him-On hold

What happened?

"Where am I?" Leila thought as she awakened and struggled to open her eyes. She squinted her eyes against the sharp light that was coming through the window. "How long have I been out?" she wondered as she tried to get up from the cold, hard floor. The house was awkwardly quiet.

 She shook her head in an attempt to remember what happened. "Mom! Mom!" she screamed as she walked up the stairs searching everywhere for her mother. It felt as if her spirit left her body when she entered her parents' room and saw her mother on lying on the mat. A pool of blood surrounded her, and her pale face was full of bruises. She inhaled sharply while she ran down the stairs frantically searching for her phone to call emergency services. 

"Fucking idiot!" she swore when she found her phone hidden under the cushions on the sofa. She knew that this was her dad's work, as well as the gruesome scene of her mother lying in her own blood and herself struggling to remember what happened". She turned on the phone and ignored the messages from her friends and called 911. "Hello, I'm Leila Minelli. We have an emergency. My mom is in her room, seemingly unconscious and I woke up on the floor with no memory of what happened, please help us" she said. She paused to listen what the emergency responder asked whereby she replied: "21 Eastway Drive, Dillon. Please hurry I don't know how long she's been out for". With a sigh she dropped the call as she ran her hand through her hair.

 Not long after she called, she heard the sirens of an approaching emergency vehicle. She opened the door and showed them to her mom's room. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at the pale face of her mother on the stretcher that two medics was pushing out the door. "Come on dear. We have to check you out too" the nice-looking lady said as she led Leila to the ambulance. A sigh of relief left her as she thought of her and her mom having some rest from her dad's fast temper and even faster fists.
