After that I continued to walk home to my loving mother. Oh yeah you don't know my brother. Well my brother is 22. And my mom is my backbone. My brother's name is Carter and my mom's is Willow. They both were shocked when I told them I was pregnant. But they didn't disown me.

As I was walking home I stopped dead in my tracks looking at my porch

"Daddy?" I asked the world.

"How you doing baby girl? I came to finish what I started." He replied hearing me and the universe at our discussion.

Oh hell no!

Flashback____5 years ago?
"Daddy no!" I screamed as he continued to hit my mother.

"Shit! Go back to your room honey. Evrything's ok. She just doesn't do what she's told that's all." He said.

"She isn't supposed to take orders. She's not a maid nor is she a slave. Leave my mother alone." My 11 year old self replied defiantly stomping my foot into the ground.

"You little shit! Go back to your motherfucking room or your getting what she is." He threatened.

"Go ahead old man. You can't catch me." I said teasing him to distract time for my mother. I ran all down the halls. In the living room. In the Kitchen. My brother was still asleep. I know that he could take my father. But me. I can't.

"Carter help!" I screamed. I was running out of rooms. We had quite a few. We weren't rich. But we had extra.

"What's wrong?" He asked as soon as dad caught me Carter pushed him onto the ground. Carter is 17. And he is extremely strong.

Dad got back up and walked towards us and Carter threw a punch at his gut which caused him to stumble. Dad threw a punch at Carter and Carter caught it. Carter has been taking fighting lessons because he knew that he would need them.

Carter finally punched dad in the face which knocked him out.

"Thank you!" I said in gratefulness to my older brother.

"It's okay. He won't hurt anyone ever again." He sais while patting my head.

"What do you mean? Did you kill him?" I asked. My naive self.

"No I didn't kill him. He's going away." He replied.

"To where?" I asked yet another question.

"To jail baby sis. To jail." He responded. "Give me the phone."

"Okay." I ran over and gave him the phone. "Where's mom?" I asked forgetting that she was involved with this.

"She's in my room the door is locked." He said. Before he called the police he tied my dad's arms up so that he couldn't get loose.

The police were called, dad went to jail forever. Or so I thought.

Present__back to the story

"What do you mean back to finish what you started?" I asked.

"Well your mom tells me your pregnant. I can see that. So you wouldn't be able to stop me. And your brother moved away for college in another country. So he wouldn't be able to stop me. Now I'm back!" He said.

"Where's my mother?" I asked.

"Oh she is at her sister's house for a while. So you better do as your told o r else your getting it." He said.

"She would never do that to me! Your lieing!" I yelled.

"You know what? I'm not staying here. I'm going with a friend." I said as I started to walk off. But he grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Oh no your not go inside." He ordered.

"No!" I ran off him chasing behind. He was walking so I was way ahead of him.

I went nextdoor to Dallas's house and knocked.

"Coming!" I heard him yell. "What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I have no time. Open up!" I said out of breath.

"Riley!!" Dad warned.

"Hurry! Please!" I said.

"Okay! Come in." Dallas said stepping to the side letting me in.

"Shut the door!" He shut the door.

"What's the Matter?" Asked Dallas.

"Nothing. Just...give me a phone." I say looking around. He hands me a phone and I start to call the problem solver.

"Hey Carter." I say.

"Riley I told you to call me only when there is an emergency." He says.

"He's back." Ok whisper.

"You mean..." he starts.

"Yes." I finish. "He got out. I don't know where mom is but all I know it's that she left me. With him. I need you." I whisper.

"Look Riley I can't." He says.

"What! Why not! I'm in danger!" I tell at the phone.

"I'm sorry. They won't let me Leave." He says.

"Who?" I ask.

"The gang." He says.

"Okay when your done with your lies call me." I hung up the phone and gave it back to Dallas.

"What was that all about?" He asks.

"Can I stay here for a while." I ask he hesitates before he answers with.

"No." He says. What the hell.
