Broken

I ran as fast as my legs could take me. I couldn't take it anymore. I'm tired of his hands constantly touching my cheek and bringing me pain. I couldn't talk. I couldn't write. I can't do anything but be harmed. I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about me too.

I grabbed my razor blade out of my pockets and pulled up my sleeve. I must be dying everyday. Very slowly that I cannot feel it because I feel this pain everyday of my miserable  life. My heart might give out anytime.  For all I know, I could die right now as I put the blade on my skin. I look at my scars and smile. These are apart of me but I frown as soon as I remember , these wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. He's ruined it all.

I have gone two blocks away behind a cute little restaurant I found a while back. It was hidden behind trees and you need to look around for a little hiding spot to find this restaurant. The owner has seen me cry and run behind the building. She is a sweet lady and I'm lucky it's not a man owning the place. I start to wonder why I have never considered that possibility. The lady said she can give me free food and a little place for me to sit if I ever needed to think or escape. It's so leafy so in the fall it's beautiful. It has a little bench and pond that is now dirty but lovely. I realized that I come here a lot. I probably spend my time here in the middle of the day when he is off to work and makes me clean. He doesn't know that I escape. I really don't clean.

It has never occurred to me to call the cops. If I do, it'll make it worst and I don't want that. He will surely hunt me down and kill me with one powerful kick.

I cut right through my skin and see the blood gush out of my body. It has a dark color. I have never thought about committing suicide either because I just can't. I have attempted but I just can't. It's not easy.

I hear something coming closer and step on a leaf that makes a crunch noise. I pull my sleeve down and freeze. He can't see these scars. I hear it come closer and closer. I soon see a figure and I am relieved when it's image is short, humpback lady.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just heard you come back here and I wanted to make sure I wasn't hearing anything," Anne said. Anne is her name.

"It's quite alright. I didn't mean to scare... you. That's the last thing I want to ever... do," I said very slowly and taking a pauses.

"I've seen that you are learning how to talk. You have the accent as well. What an improvement." I know she was trying to help me speak. She's not a family member but has been the only person that tried to help me be a better and have a career with nothing getting in my way.

"Yes, I really hope I will catch on soon. I am planning on running away and get away from that horrible man," I say and look behind me to make sure nothing is creeping on me.

"You sure you don't want me to call the cops," she asks sitting down next to me. I nod slowly and swing my legs. She nods as well. She knows my full story. I have no other friends or anything. I only have mother and him. My mother doesn't care though. She helped him once. She's also the second reason I cut myself as well. My mum is stupid though. I can't love someone who hits me repeatedly and doesn't love me back.

As for him, I don't know what he is. My father? My uncle? My brother? I don't care what he is though. All I care is that he leaves.

I turn my head to the lady sitting besides me. She was looking at the ground but turns her head to me too and smiles. I return it and hear someone call out her name. She stands up and says,"I have to go. Stay safe."

I nod and smile. I frown almost immediately though because she says Stay safe like it's the easiest thing in the world. From my point of view, it's not. Thanks to him.

I sat there in silence for a bit and looked around me. It was dark and the moon was reflecting on the glistening water of the pond in front of me. I loved it here. My thoughts were interrupted by a crunching leaf. I shot up straight and looked through the bushes. He was there, looking for me. If he finds me, he would kill me and leave me here lying around with a pool of blood around me.

I got up and slowly walked the opposite direction of him, trying to leave and run out of town. My hopes were to high. Just then, I stepped on a leaf myself and caused him to look my way.
