Run Away With Me

Home

   " Where exactly are we running away to?" I ask. I guess I was to caught up in the moment to realize what was going on.

   " Ummm I don't know. What's a place you have always wanted to go?"

   I thought about this. The only place I really wanted to go was California, but that was all the way across the country." Ummm maybe California."

   " Really!  I've always wanted to go there too."

   " We need supplies though." I said.

   " Well we can stop by your house if you want, just tell me where you live." I then told him.

  After about fifteen minutes we had made it to my house." You should probably wait in here. My dad isn't the happiest person right now."

   Grayson's face flashed with concern. He raised his hand as if to slap me, but he caressed my cheek gently instead. I couldn't help but flinch under his touch." You don't have to be scared of me." he said." Did your dad do this to you?" He was looking at my bruises.

   " uh... u-uh no." I shake my head. I barely even trust him. He hasn't told me why he is running away, so why should I tell him mine?

   Grayson shook his head sadly." Listen I know I haven't been the nicest to you, but if we are running away together we should trust each other.  I still want to be friends." Wow. FRIENDS.

   "Ok" is all I said. I then hopped out of the car with Grayson surprisingly following. I had to get to my room which was on the second floor.

   " Do you need help?" He said.

   " Sure." I felt his cold hands wrap around my waist. He then lifted me up and moved his hands towards my butt before pushing me up even farther. I grabbed the window sill while he gave my butt an unnecessary squeeze. He put his hands under my feet to help me up farther. I opened the window and finally hopped in.

   This is going to be my last time in this hell hole, I thought. My room was my only safe place where I could lock my door. I would definitely miss my room. I made my way towards the stash of money I had under my bed. I got the money from all the jobs I had worked. I then grabbed clothes; some fancy and some not. I thought about bringing my makeup bag. Nah who am I trying to impress...accept for maybe Grayson.  So I grabbed it just in case.

   I made my way to my dad's room. There was one last thing I had to get from his room.

Oh sh*t! I had left my dad's car in the middle of the road. Oh well! That will keep him away from finding me.

I made my way to his bed. He was still sleeping. His stash was under his mattress which made it a challenge to get what I was looking for. Bingo!I thought. I had the perfect plan.

"Dad" I tapped him gently. His eyes fluttered open.

"WHAT?"he asked obviously angry.

"D-dinner is r-ready." I say.

"Took you long enough." He got up and left the room. I sprinted towards the door and locked it before he could come back in. I made my way towards the mattress. I got the money that he was keeping away from me. This money was originally for me from my mom's will but then my dad took it from me.

I heard my dad pounding on the door. "SALENA!"he called."If you don't open this door right now, so help me I'm gonna break it down!" I heard his fist make contact with the door making a huge hole in the door. I shoved the money in my bag and then grabbed a pocket knife that was on my dad's nightstand.

He then hit the door again breaking it down completely. Before I could do anything he stormed up to me and grabbed me by my neck. I couldn't breathe. I felt completely hopeless before remembering that I had a knife. I stabbed it in his shoulder making him loosen his grip. But not enough. His face filled with anger and he tightened his grip. He was going to kill me. I started getting light headed.

Thud! I felt my dad's hands go limp and saw him fall to the floor and behind him stood Grayson with one of my textbooks. He must of hit him hard.

Grayson grabbed me and hugged me hard. I sat on the bed for a few seconds feeling completely exhausted before  feeling Grayson sit beside me.

"Why are you here?" I said.

" I heard yelling and decided to come and check. Are you all right?" He said looking me up and down.

" Now I am." And with that I grabbed my book bag and made my way to his car with Grayson silently following. We got in the car and drove off from the place that I once called home.

Sorry it took so long to update. I hoped you guys enjoyed.❤️
