Chapter 21

Raven's POV

"Are you my dad?" I asked. I heard someone running and turned to find mum gone. I turned back to the man I had learnt was called Mitch. He nods and pulls me into a sudden warm hug. "I loved your mother so much." He mumbles. "She thinks otherwise. " My phone buzzes. "Sorry hang on." I say as I walk out into the hall. I hear them whispering. I answer the phone and hear my step dads voice.

(R-Raven C-Charlie (step dad))

C- Raven? Are you with your mother? She didn't come home last night.

R- Hi Charlie. Yeh I'm here meeting her family. Um she ran away though she was crying, Hang on.

I hear the light sobs coming from upstairs. I instantly know they are mums.

R- I think I know where she is. Hang on I'm going to find her. I'll call you back.. Bye

C-Bye

I end the call and head back into the lounge. They all look confused. "Who was that?" Granddad asks curiously. "That was Carlie. My step dad. Which one was my mums room upstairs?" I ask. He seemed shocked by my sudden questioning. In fact all of them did. "F-first one on the l-left." Grandpa replied pointing to the stairs. He nod and thank him before heading to the stairs. I push the door open of the first room to the left. The sobbing is covered by the light sounds of a breeze. "Mum?" I whisper. The room is empty. I look out the window and see a tree with a house in it. I see mums small figure inside crying. I climb out the open window and push my body out. I grab the tree before swinging in through the house window. Mum seems shocked. "Charlie called. He's worried sick about you mum. I told him your with me. Mum can you leave him? For me." I mumble the last part. He had been abusing not only mum but me as well. I get down to her level and pull her into a hug. She nods into my chest. We have nothing special with him in the flat. I have my necklace but I have it on. I take out my phone and block his number. I then take my mums phone and do the same. That was his only connection he had to us. He was now out of our lives. Forever...
