What Did You Do To Her

Flashback (Him 1)

I pick up Alecia and grab her small bag of diapers, milk, blankets, and baby wipes. "I'm scared," Nia whispers next to me, picking up her bag and taking Alecia from me. I pick up my bag and look over at her, "There's nothing to be afraid of. We'll be fine. I stole some money from mother and father, and we can stay at some of my friends houses for a while." Nia looks at me, still scared but nods. I take her hand and we start to walk out. We're almost to the door when Nia's mom walks in, "Where the hell do you two think you're going?" She says stumbling in, luckily she drunk. "And why do you have that stupid baby?" Nia walks towards the door clutching Alecia close. "We're leaving." I state. "Like hell you are." She stumbles towards me and tries to slap me. I catch her hand before she does. "Let go of me bastard! Give me the baby." She wiggles her hand around trying to get out of my grasp and reaches the other hand out towards Nia. "No, you're drunk." I tell the woman. I push her away a little and she falls down and hits her head. 

"Dammit..." I say, "Come on. We need to get out, before he comes home." Nia shakes her head looking out the window. "Too late, he's here." She looks at me, clearly scared. "Go to the back door, when you're out go to the park. I'll meet you there." I say quickly. She looks at me like she doesn't want to leave but she does as I said grabbing Alecia's and my bag on the way. I pick up the woman and carry her to the couch. Once there I put her on the couch and go to the "game" room. This is where dad entertains company, also where the video game stuff I got from mom are, I start up the system quickly and start playing a game. I hear the door open and him say, "Nia! Get your ass down here!" I look over my shoulder and say, "She's at something school requires." He looks at me then asks, "Why aren't you there?" I pause the game and say, "Incase she needs something." I nod towards the couch, "And it's a sex-ed thing so for older kids who went last year they don't care as much." He nods, "Where's the baby? With the babysitter?" I nod. He nods again, "I'm going upstairs to take a nap. Get your sister's before I wake up. We have hunting to do." I nod and turn off the video game console. I go upstairs to my room that I share with Nia.

After 20 minutes I grab a couple of Nia's favorite books that if my dad asks about are for a book drive, I leave out and walk towards the park only 20 minutes away at a human pace. When I get there I walk over to a swing where Nia is swinging and holding Alecia. I sit on a swing next to her, "Are you ready?" She sighs, "I'm scared." I nod, "I am too but I can't let you get hurt further, or her get hurt." She nods and looks at the sky, "Where are we gonna go?" I shrug, "As far as possible." She smiles, "California?" I smile at her, "Sure. That's a lot of running though, let's just go to a hotel for now." She nods, "Come on, we need to get money out the credit cards before they realize we're missing." I nod and stand up grabbing the bags.
