Take Everything For Granted

Come Back

CHAPTER:5

I ran across the isolated road and down to the park. I sat on the icy cold swings and screamed. I screamed and screamed until there was no air left in me.

Why did Amanda care?

What did I ever do to her?

A thousand thoughts were running through my now painful head. I just couldn't think, so i continued to sob and scream.

This had definitely caught the attention of a drunken old man. He tried walking to me but failed due to his drunken self. He began waddling to me and sat on the other swing. Normally i would be scared shitless but from everything i wasn't bothered nor in the mood for him.

"Hey baby!" he smirked.

Pedofile! Pedofile! Pedofile!

Those were the only words that could describe such a man.

"Fuck off!" i gritted between stern teeth.

"Now hold on, young lady! Those words are just too big for you my dear!" he drunkly replied.

"Have you ever had your own sister-in-law kick you out the house for nothing!" i yelled at him.

"Well actually..."

"No exactly so just go back to your pub!" i finished off.

" My own father once kicked me out for good at 17. I had nowhere and no one. I was so young yet left on the streets. Now i don't even know who i am or where my future would be," he muttered under his breath.

"Oh i'm so sorry..." i apologised, rubbing his back.

"Don't touch her! Get your fucking filthy hands off of her!" a familiar voice yelled.

We whipped our heads back surprising finding Adam racing towards us.

"It's okay Adam!" i reassured.

But hell no was he buying a single word i said.

He ripped the man, which i still never caught his name, of the swing as he wobbled back.

The man started swearing and cursing at Adam before he smashed a vodka bottle onto the hard cement pavement.

Adam scooped me off the swing, bridal style, and into his muscular, shaking arms. He kept running and running non stop until we reached home. Marie's head shot up confusingly, wondering what on earth was happening.

He dropped me onto my bed furiously, locking the door. I rolled my eyes in irritation, knowing that i was in for another lecture. Hands forming fists and feet pacing up and down the room was all Adam had to do to cause me to gulp.

"What is wrong with you?" he questioned after a couple of minutes.

"What's wrong with me? Really! Really! Is that all you have to say after your sister practically kicks me out of the house!" i yelled back.

I couldn't even finish off what i had to say as my tears done the job. He embraced me in a sympathetic hug making us both fall back on the bed.

"I thought i lost you!" he whimpered into my hair soothing the locks.

"Hey! Relax Adam! Your making it sound like were in a relationship!" I said wiping away his tears.

I felt so bad and broke. I've never seen or made Adam cry in my life. He fixed himself up at the mirror and walked out after a few chuckles and smiles.

I slipped into my onesie and grabbed baby wipes for my makeup.

I went into the kitchen looking for food. Honestly, there was so much food in this house just nothing i liked. Well that's great, i thought.

I ordered pizza for the whole family, purposely leaving Amanda out. Well that's just revenge bitch! i thought.

After stuffing slices and slices of pizza and cans and cans of soda down my throat, i think it was time for the bathroom.

I woke up the next morning to a ear screeching THUD at my window.

What could it be?

Thinking it was Amanda and not bothered to waste my sleep on her i heard a PSSSTTT!!
