Unexpected Love

Chapter 1

Layla Pov:

  Gasping for air as I held my side running away from the voice that belongs to my father. Trying to escape his heavy footsteps and drunken voice seeking escape in my bedroom. "Get back here you little bitch" he yelled banging on the locked door. Grabbing what I can and tying a shirt around my wound, my vison going blurry in and out hearing his voice fade.

   My father wasn't always like this. We used to be a happy family me, my mom, my dad and my little sister Lia. We used to be the family that went out on Sundays for family day, the family that celebrated birthdays with big parties and barbecues. We were the family everyone wanted to be until my mother passed when I was 15 years old.

That's when my father lost himself to drugs and drinking, leaving me to look after my 2 year old sister. Now here we are today as I'm trying to escape my father after he tried to sell me off and stabbed me in my side because I fought back.

Grabbing the bag that has always been packed and under my bed, throwing it out of the window and managing to jump out before he could reach me. I ran as fast as I could trying to gain my balance and not trip over the sticks and bump into the people that are in my way.

Reaching an ally way that stunk like rats and liquor. I reached down to check my wound seeing the amount of blood I'm losing. "Are you okay young lady" a homeless mad asked me. Wearing a big coat and hat that had holes in it and a brown bag with whatever in it. "Do you need help?" He asked me but all I could do was stand there until I felt myself get lost into the darkness.
