Sparks Fly [Completed]

22. Run away

People knew... I knew Andrew was telling them I had a problem with painkillers. The way they looked at me as we went shopping. I just knew he told them. Probably just a few but news traveled fast in a small town. Especially now with my pregnancy that started to show it made things so much worse. They talked to Andrew like he was a saint and looked at me like I was a charity case. It took me back many years when I ended up in foster care as a child. I had been a charity case then and I was one again.
It made me shut down. I looked at the ground whenever we were outside if I even got out of the house. I was desperate for a way out but Andrew had a tight leash on me. When he was at work his mother was at the house to keep an eye on me and my so called drug use. They didn't make me stop taking pills, no they made sure I took them daily. Okay they helped me with the pain in my hand and ribs. They were horrible for the baby.
I had the idea Andrew's mother didn't want me to have this baby either. If only she knew it wasn't even his.

It was one of those days again, I was on the couch trying to read a book. Outside it had started to snow. Christmas was long gone and I was alone... or well, Seth's mother was here cleaning. She acted like I did a horrible job at it so she did it. All I could do was sit and read and eat whatever she gave me. "I will be doing the bedroom. Call me when you need something" She said and I rolled my eyes. I didn't even bother to answer. I could do things perfectly by myself.

I heard her put on music upstairs and sing along with that horrible false voice of her. Suddenly a thought occurred my mind. What if I would run... right now. My car was at the front door. I could just take of take my wallet and go. I had too. For the sake of my baby.
I got up, put on my shoes, coat without making any sound. My keys and wallet had to be in the little drawer in the hallway. I opened it up and found nothing. Of course they were gone. I bit my lip feeling completely hopeless. Maybe I could just walk... I mean it snowed but I could find a place... Taylor's house wasn't an option. She was forbidden to talk to me or come to see me. She tried, trust me. That was until Andrew threatened to press charges.
I think he did more than just that because after that she didn't try to see me again. That was a week back

I opened the door wondering where I could go without money or a car. My eyes fell on the house across the street. Seth's house. He wasn't here. His trip had been extended Andrew told me. I could go there... then maybe sneak back in when Andrew and his mother were gone to find my keys?
I didn't have a thing to loose now. I know Andrew would take my baby from me anyway. He would be in control of my life as long as I stayed with him.

I watched the street making sure nobody would see me and crossed the street. I had no key and hopes he had put a spare key in some random spot underneath a jar or something. He did... I had thought him to be smarter but didn't stop to wonder about that. I opened his house and locked it behind me.
I was careful to not put on any lights and carefully made my way upstairs. I found his bedroom soon enough. The rest of the rooms were still empty or covered in boxes. This man didn't unpack did he.
I know it was silly to do this. Maybe plain stupid but I got undressed to my underwear, took one of his t-shirts and crawled into his bed.
He would never know I had been here. I had no idea when he would be back but he had been gone three months now. I didn't expect him back. And If I ran away I would probably never see him again.

I closed my eyes imagining Seth being here with me wrapping his arms around me. Kissing my shoulder and touching my skin. A smile played my lips. The memories of him stayed sweet and would always be.
I missed him if only he was here.
