Deanna's pov
I walked into the kitchen saying, "My dad is crazy."
Patrick looked at me asking, "Why?"
I shrugged before exclaiming, "I don't know. It might be because he has women tied up in the basement!"
I heard the basement door open and we all froze. I looked at them and shoved them toward the kitchen door saying,
"Run. Now."
My dad grabbed my arm and slammed me into a wall as the door shut. I smelled whiskey on his breath and his pupils were dilated. Oh great. He's drunk and probably high. When he's one or the other he's both. If that makes sense.
He punched me in the side of my head and I brought my hand that was in a cast up to protect my face. He hit the other side of my face and I fell into another wall. I hit my head pretty hard and felt it start bleeding. I kicked my dad in the nuts and pushed myself up. I raced to the basement and shut and locked the door behind me. I know how to get out of here. I raced to the women who were away and tied. I grabbed a pocket knife from the floor and cut their bounds saying,
"Get a chair in front of that window. I'm getting you out of here." They nodded and I searched for any other girls. All I found was bodies. Dead bodies.
I raced back to the girls and I climbed on the chair and looked away saying, "Cover you faces." They nodded and I used my cast to bust open the window.
I helped the last girl out and I was about to climbed out when I heard the basement door snap. I quickly climbed out getting cut on glass. The girls were all standing there and I made sure I had my phone. I took it out and dialed 911. I told them what was going and that I was taking the girls to the hospital. I hung up and looked at the girls saying,
"Umm follow me." I know a short cut through the woods to Liz's house. That where they're gonna be. So I can get Pete or Patrick to get them to the hospital. I made them go in front of me and I yelled out directions. We got to Liz's house and sure enough Patrick and Pete's cars were there.
They followed me onto the porch and I started banging on it yelling,
"Guys it's an emergency!" Liz opened it and I said,
"I need someone to drive these girls to the hospital. My dad tied them up in my basement. " The girls looked kinda scared and Liz just stared at me with wide eyes. I spun around but no one was there. I pushed past her into the house saying,
"I need one of you guys to drive 3 girls to the hospital. My dad locked them up in the basement. Now!" Pat and Pete looked at me and they both raced out of the house me following them. The girls looked extremely scared and I whispered,
"It's okay. We're gonna take you to the hospital and help you okay. The blond guy is my brother he's not gonna hurt you and his name's Patrick. The other guy is Pete and he's my best guy friend.My other best friend Liz is gonna go with you and Patrick to the hospital okay?" They nodded and Pete, Trick, and Liz helped them into the car. Pete walked over to me saying,
"You're going to the hospital."
I shook my head saying, "My fight's not over." I started running through the woods. Pete was following me. And keeping up.
Once we were at my house I saw police cars. And my dad running out the back. They're not gonna find him in time. I bit my lip before running after my dad. I grabbed his arm making him skid to a stop. He slipped and fell to the ground. Pete raced over and hugged me tightly as police came around back. They cuffed my dad who was yelling and cursing at me. A girl police officer walked over saying,
"Miss you need to go to the hospital." I shook my head and Pete sighed before saying,
"She's going." Before I could protest he picked me up and carried me to the fly car. The paramedics buzzed around me and I saw Pete talking to the police.
After a few minutes he climbed into the fly car and sat down. They shut the doors and a paramedic stayed in the back.
I gave him a questioning look and Pete took my hand smiling, "What? You think I was gonna leave you?"
A smile crept onto my face as I got a painful jab in my head. I whimpered and Pete kissed my forehead. I smiled and we got to the hospital. I was taken through the emergency room and I saw Trick and Liz. They didn't see me.
I was in a hospital room. I had stitches on my right side from a cut from the glass. A concussion from my dad hitting me. And stitches on my left cheek. I also lost a lot of blood. I was swinging my fete back and forth since thy were over the edge and Pete walked in whispering,
"Some cops wanna talk to you about hat went on today." I nodded and he sat next to me as a girl and a guy walked in.
The girl shook my hand saying, "Hello Deanna. I'm officer Kate Rogers. In investigating this case. I need your statement. Please start from the beginning."
I looked at her and asked, "The very beginning?" She nodded and I bit my lip before starting,
"It started after my parents divorced. The week after my dad had the mental break down. That's when the abuse started."
