My AMAZING Life

Let's Get Out Of Here!

I looked at my brother like I have never looked at him before. I couldn't tell him that dad was out to kill us. But I also have to. I look at his body up and down and he is pale not dead pale but pale. I can't lose him I can't do this by myself. More importantly I can't lose my mom and my brother on the same day. I started to cry silently as he moved a little and winced in pain. But he still turned to me.

"Hey there" he said softly.

I sniffled and wiped my tears away before saying "Hi."

He smiled at me then turned onto his back.

"Why did you stay?" I asked.

"What do you mean 'Why did I stay?' I had to keep him as far away from you as possible and after what happened to..."

"It's ok you don't have to say it...I miss her too."

"I just can't believe why he did it he loved her and us."

"He said that she cheated on him with our neighboor."

"Who? Mr.Feldman? No way the only reason whhy mom went over there was to comfort him...he lost his wife in a car accident."

"I didn't---"

"Wait a sec." he said cutting me off "How do you know that?"

"Dad came to me in my dream and tried to kill me and I asked him why he was doing all this and that's the answer I got..."

"That little--"

"He said he is going to find us and kill us Derick..."

He gave me a serious look. "And what makes you think I'm going to let that happen?"

I gave him a small smirk and he closed his eyes. "Derick?"

"Yea Christy?"

"What are we going to do? Where are we going to go?"

He paused for a minute to think. "I--I don't exactly know yet but I will get us out of it I promise."

*3 days later*

"You are free to go" the doctor told us which made us happy. We decided to go to new york city since there are so many people we figured our dad wouldn't find us there. Our mom's sister bought us tickets with money she had been saving over the years. We were going to live with our mom's sister up there and hopefully start a new life. When we leave the hospital our dad is here in the parking lot looking for us. Me and Derick hid behind some bushes.

"How did he find us?" I asked.

"How do you think? He probably heard the ambulance and knew we would be here."

"We have to get to the airport or we will miss our flight Derick"

"I KNOW THAT CHRISTY LET ME THINK!"

I was taken back by him yelling at me. He never yelled at me he knew I didn't like it when people yelled at me. I guess he saw me tearing up because he hugged me and whispered in my ear:

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok Derick"

"No it's not I shouldn't have done that."

"I'm saying it's fine because it is ok?"

"Ok Chris"

"Now how are we getting to the airport?"

"The cab is coming to the parking lot at---"

*BEEP BEEP*

"Oh no! we can't get there in time for dad not to see us! He is going to kill us!!!"

"No Christy no one is going to die...not today"

"Ok but how do we get over there?"

"Simple we wait until he isn't looking then we make a break for it!"

"Ok then...let's go!!!"

He was lost for a few seconds then saw our dad was talking to someone back facing us and ran like his life depended on it. Because it did. We got into the cab and as it started to drive away I stared at my dad. How could he do this? Why would he think mom would do that to him? She is the nicest woman I have ever known. I was so into my thoughts I didn't realize that he saw me and was running after our cab.

"Let's get the hell out of here!!!" Derick screamed at the cab driver.

I stared back at my dad. There was that crazed look in his eye. If he caught the cab he would kill us and probably the cab driver so there was no witnesses.

"Can we go faster please? We are going to miss our plane." I said in my cutest kiddie voice.

"Awww sure thing sweety" The lady said.

"Thank you" I said with my cheesy kiddie smile.

We lost him at the highway. Thank god for that. Now all we needed to do was "get lost" in the airport with the huge crowd of people and hope that he won't find us. We pulled up to the airport and went inside to get our bags checked and we were kind of on edge the whole time. The workers kept on asking if we were ok. It was kind of funny actually how people were on us 24/7. We got to our plane with no problems with dad. That was good as we were pulling out of the airport there was a noise coming from the back. Derick went back there to find out and then ran back petrified.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"He's here. Our dad is on this flight."
