You Saved Me

Chapter 2

Leah's Pov.

I went the rest of the work day, wondering about Luke. No matter what I did my thoughts would drift to that boy. I don't know why, but it is bothering me. A little bit after he left Beth has come back it was around 3:45. I stay a little longer, but after a while of just sitting there she said I could go home.

I grabbed my jacket and wrapped it tightly around my body. I gave one last wave and smile to Beth before I left. The wind instantly blowing against me. I shiver and pull my jacket even closer to me if it could even get tighter. I tried walking as fast as I could to my apartment building so I wouldn't freeze.

I reached it faster then usual but not that fast. I got inside and loosened my jacket a bit. I walked into the elevator but before the doors closed I heard a familiar voice.  I looked out the doors and that's when I caught site of Luke, I looked away and back but he was gone. Shaking my head just thinking I was hallucinating, I hit 3 for the third floor. 

The bell rings signaling I had reached my destination. I walk out and over to my door, I put my key in and un-lock my door. Before I get inside I hear voices coming across the hall, I turn my head to see that someone has moved in. I am genuinely confused by this, I have lived here about a year or two now and I haven't seen any move onto this floor except the little old down the hall.

I ignore them and make my way inside. I go into my room and quickly change. I put on some gray sweatpants along with a band t-shirt I had gotten from target. I make my way into my bathroom, I wipe the little makeup I have on off and I tie my long hair up in a bun. I caught a glimpse at my wrists in the mirror. Bright red and swollen because of me, I did this to myself. Silent tears falling down my cheeks as I think about why I do this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Shut up you little bitch, or I will not hold back next time!"

His booming voice yells at me. I give him a nod before he leaves. When the door closed behind I quickly scramble into the corner of the room. Blood oozing down my forehead and down my arm. Violently shaking and crying, I feel myself slipping further and further away from reality.

What did I ever do to deserve this? Why is this all happening? I just want to be back home, in my dads arms. I want him to be softly singing in my ear while I fall asleep. But no here I am in God knows where, slowly reaching my death.

High pitched scream bringing me out of my thoughts. I know those screams I stand up and run right into the door. My fists slamming against the door while I scream as loud as I can. Why is he doing this, why can't he stop doing that to her. I am supposed to protect her not let all this happen. Energy running low I slam against the door one more time and it pops open. I run to where the screams are, I see her under him, him pinning her down and raping her. Blood all over and soon enough her body going limp. No more screams, no more noise. She's dead. Gone. I let out a scream.

He turns around at this. I pause for a second before I take off running. I hear him yelling at me to come back or he will kill me like he did to her. I don't listen I just keep running farther and farther. Before I know it, he isn't behind me and I am long gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My loud gasping  bringing me out of my flashback. I wipe the tears away before I make my way out to the living room. I sit down and get situated but of course the moment I get comfy some one is at my door. I let out a huff before I stand up and make my way over to the door.

I look through the peep hole and see a boy around my age on the other side of it. I open the door, eyeing him carefully. He is tall probably 6 foot maybe a little taller. He has tan skin, brown eyes, and floppy brown hair. He isn't a bad looking boy.

"Hello there! My names Calum and I just moved right across the hall from you. I thought I would come over and introduce myself."

I smile and wave at him. He gives me a confused look. His facing already giving away his question. He opens him mouth, before he can say anything I put my hand up and signal him to follow me inside. He follows me into the kitchen, there I grab a pen and a piece of paper.

Sorry, I don't talk. My names Leah, it's nice to meet you.

I finish writing before I hand him the piece of paper. He nods understatedly at my note before he looks up at me with a bright smile.

"Well that might be hard for us to get to know each other, but I am sure we will find a way! Now would you like to come over to my place we could watch a movie and pass notes to each other haha!"

I laugh at him. He seems like a nice boy, but I don't want to leave my home.

How about this, you go grab some movies from your house and we can drink some hot coco and get to know each other over here at my place

I smile at him, he nods happily before he runs off to his place. I grab a sweater to put on so he won't see my scars or cuts. I make us some hot coco and as soon as I finish he is back. We sit down in my living room and begin passing notes.

He went home after a little bit, but I can say I was some what happy. No one ever made the effort to get to know me but he did. Well I never really am nice to people, but something put me in a good mood. I smile as I make my way into my bed. I turn my light off before I snuggle into my sheets. My eyes closing and me slowly falling into a deep sleep.
