It's morning, god damnit I fell asleep. I sit up in the bed. Since I didn't feel his arms around me, I look around to see nothing. I listen closely to hear nothing. So I got up and walked out of the room, it's dim but lit well enough for me to walk at least, I walk to the window near the bed and see a rusty unstable looking balcony "an apartment?" I whispered to myself. I walk out of the room and creep downstairs into the living area.

I stopped in my tracks to hear faint crying, I walked towards it and came to a door that read "KEEP OUT" in big bold letters, I thought Leo most have kidnapped someone else and is torturing them, too scared to take charge and try to save them, I look for a way out or for a phone. I ran to the living room and tried to unlock the front door, it was locked with a code. Then I hear a faint phone ringing in the kitchen it was my dad ringtone. Now knowing where my phone is I run to the kitchen to the drawer I hear it in, I handle of the drawer and begin to hear a growling noise. Scary growl almost bear like. I turn slightly to see two angry looking dogs. In a panic I snatch the kitchen knife of the counter, pointing it at the dogs. I start to back up as the dogs walk slowly towards me,

"i don't want time do this and I know you don't want to either so why don't we all just" I said as I kept walking sideways around the kitchen isle.

Suddenly I tripped over the carpet between the kitchen and living room. The dogs began to bark loudly at that In fear I ran back up the stairs and in to Leo's room and locked the door. Having a full blown panic attack as the dogs scratched and slammed their bodies against it. I slumped down against the bathroom door in his room and cried for hours.

I sat there to the sound of the dogs for what felt like forever until I heard the front door open the  close and foot steps coming up the stairs I unlocked the door and crawled under the bed. The dogs were big enough to where they couldn't fit so I stayed there.

"Hey Munchies Hi Thrasher! How are you? Wittle babies have you been good? Huh yes you have" he said as he opened the door.

"Was someone trying to escape from me?" He said walking into the room, I could see his shoes walk along the bed.

"Or was she running from you two" he said he chuckled before walking out of the room with the dogs.

A few moments of silence later and I come from under the bed and sat on the floor next to it. In tears I lay down hoping that someone is looking for me.
In the room alone I began to look out to window the balcony is my best bet. It seems like the only way out of this weirdo's home. I just have to grab the railing above and scoot to the other more stable railing. I Pull the window up slightly to hear a loud ear splitting beep. I hear loud footsteps and Leo bursts in the room with a look are shock and anger on his face.

"What the fuck are you doing!?"
he shouts.
In a panic I opened the window completely causing the beep to turn into the equivalent of a high pitch fire engine. I jumped onto the balcony as it wobbles and jerks, I tried to catch my balance and jump to the top railing, before I can even squat to jump to the railing the support beams snap. Along with the balcony my heart dropped I grip onto the railing and hold my eyes shut as I fall. I black out in fear of the 20 story impact.

"Hey! Hey! Melody! Wake up!" a familiar voice said as I opened my eyes to see the ground below me then look up to see that I'm hanging from some old railing with Leo holding me by the collar of my shirt.

"Are you crazy?!" he shouts at me as he lifts me up onto the sturdy balcony.

"I-I was just", I stuttered trying to think of an excuse.

"You you you were being stupid and tried to run away!" He said pushing me in to the window of an apartment 10 stories from his.
