Guys thank you soooo much for the 1k reads I seriously love u

When I felt like I've gotten as far as possible from that alley I stopped running to catch my breath again. I was breathing so heavily, it felt like I'd just ran the marathon. I couldn't feel my legs so I leaned on the wall, trying to collect myself. My shirt was torn apart because of that bastard so I fastened the buttons of my jacket to hide my shirt and bra that was now on full view. When I was running the whole time, I was holding the front of my jacket not even thinking about doing the buttons because I was too scared and my mind didn't work at the moment. You can't imagine how I looked. Everyone that passed me gave me a look, like I was crazy or escaped from a mental hospital. In the road I was almost blowing up with laughter about myself but then I remembered that I was in a bad situation and laughing would just prove that I really am crazy even though I don't care.

If my parents see me like this they're gonna panic and make a big deal of it so I had to recollect myself and act like nothing has happened.

Never had something like this happened to me before and I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. Yes I managed to escape but what now? Should I tell anyone about this? He's probably now going for another girl so what if she can't escape from him? My heart was beating out of my chest and I could feel my hands shaking but I tried to calm myself with inhaling the oxygen into my lungs properly and exhaling it out.

Thanks to my 10 minutes running I was almost there maybe one or two allies away. After I caught my breath I started walking again, looking around to see if I've come the right way while I was running like a maniac not even paying attention to the path I was going through.

When I arrived I looked at my reflection on the window and after making sure that I looked normal I knocked on the door, waiting for someone to open the door. As if things couldn't get worse no one answered the door and I knocked again impatiently.

The door flew open revealing my mom with a big grin on her face. I sighed in relief starting to feel good again as she hugged me tightly.

"Oh my god! Bella! Come in love. I can't believe you came!" She said loudly, forgetting that we were still standing outside. I smiled widely realizing just now that how much I've missed them.

"Why wouldn't I." I said, going inside. As soon as I entered, the aura of the house engulfed me. Full of happiness and I almost forgot everything that happened on my way here. I took in the house carefully not noticing any changes from before. Warm, cozy and full of love, just like before.

"Ben! Come on now. Bella's here." She half yelled while walking around the house and putting everything in order like I was a guest or something. I remember when I was a kid that she'd always get nervous when we had guests and start cleaning up the whole house. She hasn't changed. Still my old, kind mother. Even happier now.

I was looking around the house when I heard my dad calling me. "Daddy." I said and went for a hug and he kissed my forehead before pulling back.

"Beautiful like always." He said and I shook my head jokingly, remembering old memories. Like those times when they'd always call me beautiful and I'd always get so mad because I knew I wasn't beautiful like they said.

I went to take off my jacket, undoing the first two buttons but then I remembered about today and did them again and from the corner of my eyes I saw my dad giving me a look. I slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand but then shrugged to myself having to bear the temperature of the house as long as I couldn't take my jacket off. I sat down behind the table with sweat on my forehead as my mom brought the food to the table. My dad was already sat down on the other side smiling at me and when I noticed, I awkwardly smiled back trying to act normal in front of my family.
