Can We Be Fixed?

Chapter 21: 2 hours

I was running as fast as I could but I couldn't seem to get away from Tom

"You can run but you can't hide" He called out as I hid in a random cell

I could feel tears streaming down my face as I saw him run into random cells with a knife

"Come out, wherever you are Talia" He sung 

I felt Sadie meow next to me and run out 

"No Sadie come back" I screamed

Tom ran right past Sadie and to me with a cruel smile

"There you are, He raised the knife and plunged it straight into my thigh, I began screaming as blood poured out of my wound

He then grabbed the knife and twists it making me scream louder

"You can never get away from me Talia" he hums as he pulls me in for a kiss

I suddenly sit up gasping for breath, sweating with tears running down my cheek

I check the time on my alarm clock 

Perfect it was only 4:03, no one would be up yet, I wanted to cook breakfast for everyone as a thank you for doing everything for me and taking me in

I get up wiping my tears, I walk to my bathroom and wash my face, getting rid of the tears and stare at the mirror,

My mismatched eyes seemed to be getting there color back, In the cell they were dull and basically life less but now they seem to be brighter and happier

I pull out pain killers that were behind products under my sink draw and take one, I didn't want to feel pain anymore

It was like a daily ritual taking one was normal to me now, I couldn't go a day without them because my right rib hurt so much and my thigh throbs too much

I take a deep breath and wait a couple of minutes for the pills to kick in

I walk to my closet where the maids seem to have placed all the clothes in neatly I gasp

I needed to thank them, I pull out some clothes making sure they cover up my scars and put them on
