Unexpected love

chapter 9

Continued Sara's POV

The school was boring..... Except that Alicia- I don't know why- just kept looking at me... That girl is sometimes very odd...and Robert glared at Alicia so many times that I eventually lost the count.

Today is Monday so thankfully I don't have to face Nichelle and Luke- my so called mom and dad.
They usually go out on weekdays. And Robert assured me that he will always be there on my side whenever I need him....which I felt was very sweet to tell from his part.
Today has been a great day and I hope it continues to be like the way it is further and forever.
Okay so I head towards my home. After reaching it I see that the door is locked from inside. So I use the pipe to climb up and get inside by the window.
As I climb down the stairs in my house I hear someone snoring...
Sara get out of the house now... My gut feeling is telling me to run away.... I know it is right but I won't run away I will face it...

And yeah whatever it is I have a right to stay in the house too. I tiptoe through the living area and reach the kitchen. DOUGHNUTS... I  ate them last  Christmas..... I loved them.... And I will again eat them. I open the jar lid and take two doughnuts from it..... I hope the drunkard doesn't come to know about it.

I hear the door click behind me.... I run to my room immediately. I pop the doughnuts into my mouth and slip into my bed covers...
I hear my bedroom door open.

"Did you just take two doughnuts from the jar?"

I know its Nichelle but still I don't have the guts to reply her truly.

"You can tell me.... I won't tell Luke"
I look at her and nod in agreement. I feel there is no use to not tell her honestly. But when she started smirking I felt I was proved wrong.

"Luke.... I caught the thief for you babes...."

My jaw dropped open...Nichelle was strange...

I hear footsteps coming towards my door...... This is bad.. This is bad.... This is really bad... God help me. Ok Sara you have to be strong. And there in front of me is Luke. I don't want to be beaten by him.....not again.....

I grab my phone fast and call Robert. I don't say anything but I hope he understands what I want to say.

"Hello? Sara you alright? Sara?..."

Now I see Luke taking out his belt and the next fraction of second the belt is on my skin... I scream. "You should have thought before taking my doughnuts! You wouldn't have had to face me in this form"
His eyes are all red.... Man he is so scary.

I cry out loud..... "Sara don't worry, I am right there" I hear Robert whisper via the phone.
Again Luke hits me in my back. Then he kicks me in my stomach. He is a monster.

He whips the belt across my body a multiple times. And kicks and hits me till the sweat and blood has covered me throughout. I hear the doorbell ring.... I know it is Robert... At last he came.... Thank you god.

But before I go to his arms, my vision blacks out.

Robert's POV (before Sara calls)

"Robert do you want to have doughnuts... I bought them for you...."
"Ughh.... Not again granny.... I am tired of eating them...."

"But you said you love them so I brought them for you... Now you have to eat them"
"Okay! I will take only three doughnuts okay?"
"Okay"
I take my doughnuts from her hand and sit in the sofa and eat... 

Just then I hear my phone ringing in my bedroom.

It is Sara's call. Now what happened? I receive her call.. But no one answers on the other hand of the line.
"Hello? Sara you alright? Sara?"
Still no answer I hear screaming on the other hand. Now I get it

"Sara don't worry,I am right there"

I feel I have grown another reason to live....and that is to protect my closest friend Sara.
I make haste to Sara's house. After I reach Sara's house I ring the doorbell. A middle aged lady opens the door.
"Who are you?"
I have no answer and no time so I simply push her aside and climbing stairs. Because I can hear voices coming and I know it is surely Sara's.

When I step into Sara's room she is lying on the floor with a man on his side and belt wrapped in his fist.... I was a boxing champ and I have the urge to apply it on someone... I step ahead and push Sara's dad. He falls down on the floor.
He tries to hit me but I bend and punch him in the noes... Oh my god after how many years I am puching someone it feels so good.

He punches me in the face hard. I let out a scream. I touch my nose with my fingertips. It us bleeding. I can feel anger inside me starting to boil, and then in a moment or so I hit him hard in the eye then immediately in the  stomach and a kick in his knee.

This makes him fall on his face. I walk over to Sara and touch her.
She is so frail but so strong.... For how many years has she been hiding this fact. How much she has tolerated.....

Not anymore.....not anymore... I have to change things for her...I have to get her things that she deserves
