Purity (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7

Its been two hours and I've locked myself in my aunts guest bedroom.

"Kori... please come out. You need to eat something." I heard through the door. I didn't want to ignore her so I got up from the bed and went to the door. I put my hand on the handle and looked down. I opened the door slowley. Aunt Carrie sighed a sigh of relief.

"Come on... I made some pasta." She smiled at me and grabbed my hand.

She pulled me through the hallway and down the stairs. It was already dark outside. I say down at the table and looked down at the moment pasta. Aunt Carrie sat across from me. She was right.

I have to eat.

I forced myself to pick up the fork and put food in my mouth. A couple minutes later I pushed my bowl to side.

I heard Aunt Carrie get up and walk over to me. I felt her embrace me.

"Im so sorry Kori." She said as I hugged back.

"Im going to get your st-"

"I'll do that." I interrupted. She looked at me in surprise.

"Are you sure?" She asked. I nodded and she sighed and gave me a ride to my house. We pulled in the drive and moms car was gone.

I got out of the car and walked in the house. The door was open. It was very dark in the house. I went through the halkway to my room and grabbed a bag. I stuffed some clothes and some books.

I left Calebs coat at Aunt Carries house so I grabbed mine out of the dryer along with my scarf. I grabbed my camera off my nightstand and left the room.

As I was about to go out the door I turned back to the dark room. I saw a flash back of me running around the same living room and my dad chasing after me as my mom watched. She was laughing. We all were.

I gave one last emotionless glance to the room.

I walked out and ran to the car. We drove in silence on our way back to her house. The next morning I got dressed and Aunt Carrie gave me a ride to school before she went to the office.

I had bandages on my cheeks and I had little cuts from her nails because Mom's slaps made me bleed. Thats how much it hurt.

As I walked though the empty hallways I felt like crap. I opened my locker and through my stuff inside. I shut my locker and saw Griffen behind it.

"Eek!" I yelled and fell back. He grabbed my hand and caught me.

"Jeez you're jumpy. Hey.. what happened to your face." I stood up straight and stepped back.

"I just... fell down the stairs last night."

Lamest excuse ever!

"Alright you don't want to tell me. Thats fine." Griffen said and smiled.

He seemed more happy than he usually is.

"Why are you here you so cheerful?" I asked. He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"I guess I'm just in a good mood." He said. I heard the sound of footsteps behind me and we both turned around to see Caleb walking towards us.
