My Brittle Barricade

Chapter 7

So all I can hear is them fighting and banging going on outside the door ...
what have I walked into ..I didn't know what I was doing .
I need to get out of this and quick .. I run over to the window.

I guess I learned something new right now in this point in my life .. I'm scared of heights .. I'm looking down on the ground and it seems like it so small and I feel trapped and to make it worst I look down the grass and there a forest at the end and I feel like I'm never gonna be able to leave.
I was trapped with no way out I was going to do this favour for this person I didn't know and he was fighting with his brother and I need to do something now and fast

I open the window and just as the wind came in to my lungs I could breath again and I knew I didn't want to stay so I climbed out and there was some pipes by the window and they didn't look safe and yet again I wasn't thinking straight and before I knew it I was climbing down and all my mind was thinking was I am going to die fall of this pipe and die.

I could feel my heartbeat go so fast in my chest and I felt like I was going to get sick . But I knew who was upstairs and I didn't want any part of it so I ran to that forest ...

It was dark but I didn't care really I knew I had to get away from it all .
I just ran in the forest and looked back at the house and he was there ... nick was standing there looking at me and he had a smile on his lips that made me want to run even faster .. what did he want with me .. what favour did he want me to do ...

I couldn't stop thinking about it . I kept running , faster and faster .. over thinking every moment that just happen to me in my entire life .. my real mother leaving me .. my father dying and leaving me too .. that women who took everything from me , my house , my life .
As I was running I was turning left then right and before I knew it I was lost .

I looked around me and there was a light moon out so I could see a bit but the tress and branches blocked most of the moon light ..

But I kept running and tripping and running and then I fell down a small bumpy hill and my leg got caught in something I couldn't move anymore , and I couldn't breath .
And everything just went black ..
I was out cold ..

I was woken up by birds ... one was right beside me chirping away ... .
I tried to move and it flew away .. I envied that bird .. I wish I could have wings ..
then I heard the sound of a car ... .. nick was the first thing to pop into my head . And I couldn't breath again..
Or what if it was the police coming to try find me did my stepmother ... I stop my thought then... she would not in a million years ring the police and say I was missing.
I don't think .. no I know for a fact she hasn't even notice I was gone ....

I started to get up and my ankle was in so much pain when I put pressure on it .. I read enough book in my room to know it wasn't right .. maybe it was broken .. I couldn't do anything about it .. I didn't know how ... I was dirty mud all over me . My dress ripped .. i was in pain everywhere especially my ankle ,I didn't even know I was bleeding in so many places , I was so hungry .. alone I was alway alone .. I was cold ... scared of nick ,coming too find me and kill me .. my stepmother .. lock me away forever in a room .. her calling my names and hitting me ..

Right then I burst into tears .. I was alone .. this is my life. .. this is what will happen to me I will either die alone in a basement with no one if my stepmother finds me and I will die a horrible death and maybe .. probably much more if nick and his brother finds me..

What happen next was ... I don't know what to call it .. a little boy saved me ..
