Redemption

Chapter 2

He wouldn't kill me. He can't do that. I thought to myself and then blurted out. "Please stop Vince! You can't do this!" Still. No words came from the figure I no longer knew. He grabbed me and pinned me down on the floor. The knife he had came closer to me. "STOP!" I yell, struggling to get free from his grasp. He cut through my shirt and I kicked his arm, making him slip and cut a huge, deep wound across my torso. I scream from the pain and soon fell unconscious.

Why... why is it so cold? Huh? Its wet... ugh... it hurts.
Pressure. I feel pressure coming down on my body. Why? Its Vince... isn't it? He's doing it, isn't he?  I don't care anymore.
Do I?
I should stop him. But he would get made at me again. Wake up Sophia. This isn't the time to be thinking. Get up.

Opening my eyes to Vince above me I stare down at my wound wrapped up poorly. Realizing I didnt have a shirt on much less a bra, I sit up with pain coursing through my body.
"Im sorry Sophia. I didnt meen it!" Vince said with bandages in is hands.

He reached out to touch me and I started to panic. I slapped his hand away and stood up off the old creeky floor. Still in pain, I trip on my feet a couple of times. I see an old jacket on the floor  and cover my body with it.
Vince came and grabbed my arm. His face had guilt written all over it.

"Dont touch me!" I yell at him. Throwing his arm off, I rush to the door and go down the stairs. There it was. The exit. I ran over and tripped on my way out of the door. Falling down a few steps made my bandages come undone. I saw the blood run down the jeans I wore and choked on the vomit rising up my throut. I got up and wobbled over to Vince's car. it was locked.

Crap crap crap! What do I do?!  I thought, then I relized I was wearing his jacket, the one he was just wearing. I shuffled through every pocket. Please oh please let them be here. I hear metal hitting each other.

It was the keys! I look for his car key when the front door to the house bursted open as the monster rushed toward me. Open you god damn door. Open! He drew closer and closer. The car door opened. I jump in the car and tried to close the door but it stopped.

Vince held it an inch open, his fingers peeking through the crack. I put my foot up and crushed his fingers so I could close the door. Locking it then starting the engine I hear him say. "Im sorry Sophia! Please! Dont go!" I pull out of the drive way and drove home. It was over. At leat for now it was.

I crashed through the front door and my mother came rushing towards me.

"Sophia? Is that you?" She must have been asleep seeing how she was in her pjs.
"Sophia? I thought you were at Medra's? Did someth-" She stopped talking when she saw blood all over my clothes.
"Oh my! Sophia what happend?!" She said as she took of the jacket I wore. She saw the wound and horror crossed her face.
"Sophia! Oh my god! Its gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay." She raised me to my feet and drove me to a hospital.

A few hours later I awoke to my mother stroking my cheek.
"Ah. Your awake. How do you feel?" My mother sayed attempting to smile.
"I feel... dizzy." I say while sitting up.
"Do you feel any pain?"
"No.. not at the moment." I looked down at the neatly bandaged wound. It was way better than what Vince's bandaging job.
"Do you wanna tell me what happend?" My mother said in a calm tone. I couldn't tell her the truth. So I lied.
"I was walking home from Medra's... becuase... she said she was feeling sick, and I didnt want to get sick... so I... while I was walking home, there was a big dog that started chasing me. So to try and get away, I climbed up a fence and scrapped my stomach on the pointey end of it."
"I never liked dogs." My mother said jokingly. "But why is there a weird car in the front lawn?" Her joking tone came to a serious one.
