I'm waiting at the dinner table again with a warm cooked meal set for two, steak done the way he liked with potatoes and corn. No greens, he hates greens. On my plate is a half portion of what I've given him to get the figure he liked back, but my body seemed to be holding onto whatever I gave it.
He wasn't home enough for me to eat and that was part of the diet, I only eat when he's home. The food's aroma is wafting into my stomach, tickling it delicately, I'd skipped my meals today since I missed Carter in the morning and for lunch. I'd obeyed everything to a T. Just like Riley said. I stared at the front door of our trailer intently, depending on what happened.
If Carter walked through that door... My fingers twanged in pain, two were most surely broken, he did that when he busted me learning sign language...I'd been trying to learn since he managed to bully me out of lying by threatening to cut out my throat if I made him listen to 'That grating Welsh accent' again.
He'd broken me down completely over the years, or 'broken me in' as he called it. I even tried talking the other day, my throat was raw and raspy, I could barely understand that it was me that talked and I just wanted to lay down and decay.
But tonight, was the night, I was able to get a letter to my brother's cafe, I'd lied to Carter and told him I was entering a sweepstake, and I even had to write it like that. For the first week I wasn't even sure he got it until he sent one back, a super convincing one too saying that I'd lost but I can attend an online event at home for a second chance with a date and time. I've had to guess, that's the scary thing, is that I had no clue if I guessed it right to be home at a date and time. Easy to do since he kept me home, not that Riley knew that.
I had to hope he was going to be here to get me out, or I was going to know that Carter will kill me tonight. I was getting weaker and weaker by the day, the last few injuries he wasn't letting me go to the hospital for. He'd removed the phones from the house, and it didn't help that our house was in the middle of nowhere. I had nothing left at this point, either I die or I escape, either way, this ends tonight. I got up and walked to the window, glancing at my watch, 7:30 on the dot, Carter doesn't get home until 9 at night on the weekdays, every night like clockwork. I should be safe to leave.
So yeah, I made dinner.
I cleaned his house.
I even sucked his cock without fighting him today.
Because tonight was the night.
Some lights pulled up into the driveway, I grinned and turned to the door, bolting. He'd destroyed anything precious I'd save, it made for a quick getaway, just the clothes on my back and my dog. I cut Bender's leash off the tree he'd been tied to, making kissy noises to calm him as I did. I headed to my brother's car when I heard a shitty truck pull up and my heart sank "Shit" I whispered hoarsely. I ran over to the car, limping heavily, I must have looked like scarecrow running up to Riley.
