Running for freedom

Chapter Two - It Hurts...

It happened so fast.

The last thing I remember was falling back. The moment my head tuched the floor I felt pain and everything went black.

I opened my eyes. I was lying on the ground. Doors in front of me were closed. I sighed. I tryed to move my head. The pain came back. With my hand, I tuched the part of my head that hurt the most. I felt thick liquid under my fingers. I looked at it.

Great, I sarcastically thought, I'm bleeding.

It must be from my fall. My left eye also hurt. Punch.

That was the moment I was brought back to reality. My father punched me. God.

I heard talking from living room. My parents were arguing.

"Why would you do that?" I heard my mum asking dad. Yeah, because she did a lot to help me. I woke on the floor, remember?

"I don't care about her." That was his answer. Like I didn't know it.

"She is your-"

"She is my nothing! I want to kill her."

That hit me more than the punch. All the hope that I mean something to him disappeared.

"But she is ours."

They kept talking. I was just lost. What do I do now? Think, BAKA, think!

The next thing I did was beyond crazy.

I grabbed my school bag and started filling it with my stuff. The jeanes and shirt I wore were totaly fine for now. Insted, I grabbed my sketchbook and pencilcase. Along with my wallet, favorite book and USB key which had all my ideas for my future books.

I waited till night. Once the time came, I got dressed and put my shoes on. I went to the front door.

Suddenly, I heard door behind me open. I froze in place. I turned arund.

"Where are you going?" my little sister asked while yawning.

I looked at her with sad eyes. "I need to go somewhere." My heart was breaking. Why are you here now, my little one?

"When are you coming back?" No...

I couldn't answer. I couldn't lie to her. I turned to the door.

"One day, maybe," I answered and run.

~ 6 years later ~

I woke up, but still haven't opened my eyes.

I sighed deeply. My back hurt like hell.

I opened my eyes.

The clock told me it was 10:30. I sweared to myself. Why didn't Vik woke me up?

In the kicken was the answer.

Don't be mad at me, Ay, you needed sleep.

I went to tattoo place, so don't worry about me. I need to talk to you. It's about your life dream. So hurry whenever you wake up, if you want to hear about it.

P.S.: I bought coffee.

And I was thankful for that. While I was drinking my cup of coffee, I though of her. Viktoria Beli.

We met about two years ago on the street of Novosibirisk. I wanted to rob her, to take everything she had. Insted of that, she told me about her older sister's tattoo place. That I could work for her. I needed money, so I agreed.

After six months we became friends. She offered me to live with her. Untill then I was still living on the streets. I said yes, and from that day I owe her my life.

She did much good for me. More that I deserved.

In a year she will be eighteen and tattoo place will be totaly hers. Her sister Katya opened busness just for her. On paper she owns place, but Vik took care of it most of the times.

I closed my eyes.

Family.

At almost twenty years old, I had not heard anything from my own in six years. The only thing that I did was letters - letters to my sister. Small note and enough money for one hot chocholade. I promised that I'll go out with her, all these years ago. This is the least that I can do.

Of course letters did not had my addres on it. I always went to other contury to send them. I didn't want anyone to find me.

And they didn't.

But Vik's family was amazing. She had two older sister and a brother - also older. Sisters both had some kids. But Vik never spoke of her father. I never juged her. I knew it could be hard.

About a year ago something happened. She didn't explain it to me. Just something about her bro and his lost.

I opened my eyes and returned to reality. Vik was waiting for me. I needed to find out what was the thing she was talking about.
