Chris runs over and slides the door open. I pick the sleeping Lily up and I crawl out of the van. I'm glad she is so light. I sigh looking around. We are outside of an adorable red house in the middle of a forest. Chris grabs my side lightly and escorts me inside.

Inside is a small kitchen, a couple of doors, and a living room.

I set Lily down on one of the black couches pressed up against the wall near a flat-screen tv and I turn back to Chris who smacks me hard. My head jerks back a bit but I don't really react. It's hard not to react because he hits hard but I've learned that if I react he'll hit me again. 

I turn and I look at Lily. She stirs and almost wakes up but she nuzzles her head into the couch cushion and falls back asleep. Chris notices that too and drags me into another room with a fluffy bed, a dresser, a small window, and a bathroom.

He pushes me up against a wall and pulls out a switchblade.

"You know I don't like to hurt you buttt since you basically ruined my life I'm gonna ruin yours." He says cutting into my arm.

I bite my tongue hard to keep from screaming. I really don't want to wake Lily up. She's basically my sister.

Ten minutes later my arm is bleeding and so is my tongue. I look down at my arm and I clench my fist. Chris cut his name in my arm. 

He smiles and slaps my arm making me wince, "Perfect, aren't you glad you scar?"

I watch as my arm scars in moments. I raise my hand up and I rub my finger over his name. Great I'm gonna have another man's name stuck in my arm forever and my life is just starting.

"You know we're gonna be the perfect family. You, me, and your sister." 

I look at him and I sigh, "You should let her go. Our perfect family could be with you and me."

He thinks for a moment before shaking his head, "Nahh. I need something to keep you in line."

I look down and I roll my eyes. He brings his hand up and he lightly pulls my chin up and kisses me lightly before opening the door and walking out. I take a deep breath and I walk out.

Lily is jumping up and down on the couch laughing.

I laugh and I sit down on the couch watching her. Chris sits down next to me and interlocks hands with me. I go to retract my hand but Chris just grips it tighter.

I'm actually kinda glad Lily is young and doesn't know what's going on.
