Chapter one

"Becca!" Adam shouted, still chasing me down the street.

Tears fell down my cheeks as I ran. 'Faster' my subconscious screamed.

"Becca come back here now!"

No. How could I turn around after what he had done? How could I say, 'okay!' and fall for the lies all over again?

'You shouldn't have trusted him' my subconscious mocks me. But it's true. I shouldn't have. I knew this would happen. I knew he would hand me off to one of his slime ball friends so that he could get high.

My house was far from here but it didn't matter. I could run and hide until I got there.

I tried calling my mom but her phone was off. I tried my brother who thankfully picked up.

"Becca? What's wrong?" Hayden asked frantically.

"Adam" breath "he sold" breath "me for" breath "drugs"

"Where are you?"

"Maple street" I huffed "h-hurry please!"

"Maple street?! That's on the other side of town!" he shouted "Stay on the line okay? Just to keep me posted on where you are so I can find you."

"Okay" A sharp cramp in my side started to slow me down. Adam was far enough behind me that I could topple over into a ditch and he wouldn't know. The fact that it was midnight was a big benefactor as well. I dove into the deep ditch beside me, covering my self in dirt and leaves as camouflage. Adam sped by breathing erratically.

"Becca where are you now?" Hayden questioned. I could hear the sound of his car starting. it was a reassuring sound at this point.

"I'm in a ditch" my breathing had finally become calm again. "I'm hiding from him. He already passed me"

"Okay you need to stay on with me still, you understand?"

"Yes Hayden, be careful."

"I will. You too, I'm halfway there"

"Half way?! How fast are you going?!"

"Relax only like 85"

"Hayden slow down!"

"Fine. 75 is as down as I will go Becca, your life is on the line! Call 911 right now!"

"Okay" I ended the call and typed the three numbers into the phone.

"911, what's your emergency?" the dispatcher asked.

"My boyfriend sold me to his friend for drugs! I'm on maple street in a ditch hiding from him please help!"

"I will send help right away miss. What is your name?"

"Rebecca Hawley ma'am"

"Okay Rebecca stay on with me until help arrives it should only take 10 minutes or less."

"Thank you so much" I cried.

"Calm down sweety help is almost there."

"O-okay. D-don't go yet"

"I won't miss. How old are you?"

"S-sixteen"

"Were you also doing any drugs?"

"N-no I stayed upstairs away from them"

"Okay. We will still have to test you, you realize this right?"

"Of course I don't mind ma'am" the cop car and ambulance finally came close. I jumped out of the ditch jumping up and down waving my arms. They stopped a few feet away from me.
