×Less to do with pain×
I sat there on shock. She's only 6 and she acts more mature than the people at my school.
I hug her while lifting her off the floor.
"I care about you, too."
I stood there loving her with every once of my being.
"Maria," I whisper through her hair.
"Hmm?" She hums to me.
"What happened while I was gone?"
"M-mom... she hurt me..." Maria choked up.
I held her tighter,"Shh... It's okay," I stroke her hair,"We'll take you away from here."
I pick up Cuddles while still carrying Maria. I look back at the window and let Maria out first.
I heard a click.
I turned slowly behind me to see a man standing there with a gun pointed at me.
"What the fuck are you doing with my step daughter?" He growled at me.
Step daughter?! Mom got married?
I turn back to the window and crawl out of it as fast as I can.
But I wasn't fast enough.
I hear a gun shot go off.
I felt a sharp pain in my arm, but I wasn't going to let that stop me.
Jeffory had Maria in the car and I was running to it.
"Start the car!" I scream.
I hear an engine start up.
"DRIVE!"
And so he did.
I was left running from a man with a gun. I ran into the near by woods to try and lose him.
Luckily, I did.
I found the interstate and it began pouring rain.
I looked back to my arm. There was so much blood...
I felt so sick. I could feel myself becoming weak.
This is it, I thought to myself.
At least Maria's safe.
My vision started to have black dots show up. I heard a car honk and everything went dark.
