Running From The Past

Chapter 6

"So you decided to come then?" Matt asked walking up to Charlie.

It was night. Matt had told Charlie to meet him in the local park because of something important. Nobody else was around. Only them.

"I've only come to see what you have to say and then leave!" Charlie muttered shoving her hands in her jeans.

It was freezing and she didn't bring a jacket with her. Matt noticed he was cold. He took off his jacket.

"Here." He said wrapping it around her.
Charlie's brow furrowed.

"I don't want your stupid jacket..." Charlie shrugged it off.

"Why not?"

"Because I hate you!"

"But I don't hate you..." He whispered smiling. He reached out his hand and brushed away a stray piece of hair out of her confused face.

"What the fuck are you on about!" She shouted.

She tried to step back but Matt pulled her closer.

"Come on Charlie let's have some fun..." Matt laughed.

He crushed his lips against her and laughed as she struggled to get away.

"Get off me!" Charlie shouted.

"Why should I?"

"Because I said no Matt! Hear me? No!"

Matt laughed and pushed her on the floor. She cried out as she hit the ground hard. Matt climbed on top of her.

"Get off me!"

"Let's have some fun..." Matt smirked.

"No!" Charlie started to scream for help but Matt quickly covered her mouth.

"Come on Charlie! What's the matter? We can either do this the easy way or the hard way..."

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she thought frantically for a way to escape.

"So how's it gonna be Charles?" Matt asked.

That's when it came to her.

Moving Matts hand away gently, Charlie smiled at him. Doing her best to sit up she kissed his nose, and then his lips. He kissed her back and layed her fully on the floor. When she was sure he wasn't concentrating Charlie opened her eyes and looked around. All there was was a wide open road and the woods. On the road he would be able to see her and catch her quicker so her best shot was the woods...all she had to do was to get away.

Slowly not breaking the kiss she moved her leg under neath his open legs. She positioned herself to get ready to push him off her and run.
He seemed not to be paying attention to her leg position. His hands made their way slowly up her top. Quickly she brought he knee up into his balls hard.

Matt shot up and cried in pain. Charlie seized her chance and pushed him off her, he fell on the  ground next to her.

Charlie jumped up and started running as fast as she could towards the woods.

"Come back here bitch!" Matt shouted from behind.
Charlie ran through the woods and soon heard Matt behind her. She knew he was a fast runner and would catch up in no time. Hiding behind a tree would be useless so she had to put up with the next best thing... Up one!

Her breathing became harder the faster she ran. He was still behind her so she ran faster. There was no way out of the wood for a straight three miles and she couldn't turn around as she was too far in. Listening the sound of Matts footsteps and calls became slower and slower before she eventually couldn't hear him.

He wouldn't have given up yet though.

Charlie stopped behind a tree to catch her breath. She looked behind her. Matt was no were to be seen. Clutching her chest she looked around the dark wood. She was hidden by a group of tall Oak trees. Perfect hiding spot...for now that is.

"Charlie! Charlie!" Matt was closer now.

Before she knew it Charlie was heading up the tree she was hiding behind. She clutch on for dear life as her flimsy trainers slipped beneath her. Reaching the first stable branch she sat on it and looked for Matt.

His body cams in to view a few meters away. She shrunk back and hid the best she could. Climbing higher slowly and quietly Charlie looked for something to possibly hit him with.

She looked over to the next tree not far away to see a small thick branch hanging on its last legs. All it needed was a little twist and she could use it as a weapon.
Matt was to close now for her to jump down and climb up that tree. He shouted out again.

"When I find you Charlie I swear to God you'll pay!"

Matt was dangerous. She knew that. If he found her now...who knew what could happen. The broken branch loomed in the distance. It was her only choice.

Face Matt defenceless would lead instantly to certain doom or something like that...But now Matt was below her so she couldn't come down and climb that tree to get it...

She would have to jump the distance!
