Saved By Andrew

Seven

   The word abandoned has 3 meanings. The one that most applies to me is forsaken or deserted.

  That's how I feel as I sit in the darkest corner of my room. I'm shaking and crying. It's 1 in the morning and once again my nightmares have interrupted my sleep.

   It's more like flashbacks instead of nightmares.

   Something in Damon is starting to change. The abuse is starting to become more personal. It used to be mostly a bunch of drunken punches and kicks but now. Now he doesn't have to be drunk to beat. It's like he know has a reason to beat me. I'm not sure what that reason is.

    Once I calm myself down I'm get up and FaceTime Andrew hoping he can help me go to sleep.

    He answers on the first ring.

    "Mars! What's wrong? Are you ok?" He ask suddenly becoming wide awake.

      "Just the um nightmares." I answer starting to cry just thinking about them.

   "I'll be over there in 10." Andrew says getting out of his bed.

    "Andy you don't have to do that." I protest.

  "Too late. Im already on my way." And with that Andrew hung up.

   I felt bad making him come here at one in the morning.

   About 10 minutes later my bedroom door opens revealing an exhausted looking Andrew.

   He walks over and hops in my bed wrapping his arms around my waist.

   "I'm here now. Go to sleep princess." He whispers in my ear.

   I listen to what he says and close my eyes.

   "Wake up you stupid whore!" I shoot up out of bed and realize it's already morning and that my and Andrews's bodies are still intertwined. Damon yelling.

   Andrew wakes up and puts a protective arm around me.

   "Who the hell are you?" Damon yelled at Andrew.

     "I'm Marlowe's friend." He asked holding me close.

    "Get out of my house!" Damon yelled again.

   Andrew gets out of my bed and I follow his lead. We start walking towards the door but I'm stopped by Damon yanking my arm and pulling me back.

   "You are not taking my daughter!" Damon yells.

    "She's not even yours! You're just a step dad and that's all you will ever be!" Andrew yelled back.

    Damon slings me into a wall acting like I weigh nothing. He then walks up to Andrew and that's when I get scared. I can see murder in Damon's eyes.

    "Please don't hurt him! He'll leave! I promise!" I say starting to cry.

   "I'm not leaving you, Mars. " Andy said.

   Andrew then picked me up off the ground and ran downstairs and outside to his car all while carrying me.

    I begin to doze off on the way to Andrew's house.

   "You'll never go back there if I can help it."
