A Love Story

The tree

Anabelle quietly tiptoed to the bottom of the stairs. When she got to the last stair she heard someone coming down, she quickly ran and shut herself in the broom cupboard. She was to scared to breathe.

What if the found her here?
She would be punished!

The next moment Dean came down the stairs and stopped at the broom cupboard. Annabelle's heart stopped. She was petrified. Who knows what he would do to her. It was late and his parents were sleeping, they would know nothing!

Luckily Dean walked past the cupboard and quietly opened the front door. Annabelle had a sigh of relief. Dean stopped and looked back, was he imaging things? Or did he hear someone sigh? He brushed it off and left. He was in such a hurry that he forgot to close the door properly.

Annabelle waited five minutes before she made her move and opens the cupboard door. Silence...
Annabelle runs to the door, carefully placing her feet not to make any noise and leaves the house.

She smiles, she is free! She is finally away from that wretched place.

Then she hears something behind her. She stops. "Well well Anna, what do we have here?" It was Dean.

Annabelle turns around, "N-n-nothing Dean, I just needed fresh air!" She didn't know what to say. She had to get away. She needed to get to thee tree house she and her father built in the forest on their last vacation. They came here before he left.

"Okay, then you won't mind if I join you?" He smirked.
He knew she wanted to get away and he wouldn't let her! He turned around and walked back a couple of steps, looking up at the moon. "What a beautiful night..."

It scared Annabelle, she knew she had to run. It was now or never she had to get to the tree. She turned around and started to run.
Then she ran. She just kept on going. Now looking back! Her chest started to burn but she kept running, knowing that she was close to safety.

Then she saw it. As beautiful as seven years ago. She climbed up the ladder and then pulled it into the treehouse, that would make sure Dean couldn't get to her!

She was panting, trying to get back her breath. She heard Dean run past the tree, not seeing the house shouting, raging. "Come back Annabelle. You won't hide forever. We will find you and if we do..."

Annabelle didn't worry about him at that moment. She took her blanket out of her bag, threw it over the couch and went to sleep...
