A Love Of My Own

chapter 6

Lucas p.o.v
I awake with start, remembering where I fell asleep at. Looking down I see my body covered in sweat and blood. I stand up only to find my vision go black at the edges. I take a slow step forward, leaning in to place my hands on the bed, trying to keep the warm blood that is seeping through my shirt from getting onto the blankets. My father would kill me if he saw the blood. He isn't really my father, my biological dad left when I was young, leaving my bipolar mother to take care of young kids. I was only 8 then. Katie was 6. George was a good person at one time. He took us in and helped my mother, but that was before the got his hands on the alcohol and drugs. It changed him. He is no longer the guy who played baseball with me in he backyard, but a monster now. My mother stays with him though, Even through all the hell he puts her through. I think she's scared. Scared of losing control and not being there, it would have been dangerous when I was younger, not really much now. She lives a constant reminder that she can't control her mind. She thinks it's what drove Katie away, I know the truth though. Katie was... no is strong and didn't want to be pushed around by him. I don't blame her. I couldn't leave mom alone, not with him. I barely get the blood stopped before exhaustion takes over once again.
Izzys p.o.v
My eyes flutter open to reveal a conserned bailey hovering over me, her bright blue eyes ferice in the dim light.
"She's awake again guys."
I try to roll over to locate who bailey was talking to but a blinding pain overcomes me and I shift back onto my back. My fingers slowly inch their way up my shirt to feel a bandage that seems to have liquid seeping through. I pull back my hand to find my fingers coated in blood.
"What happend?"

Bailey and Katie stole a quick glance at each other before pursing their lips.

"Well you see... he wants to make sure we Don't get away...so he puts trackers in our stomachs....." Katie finishes"

The thought makes me sick and I feel bile rise in my throat so I roll over just in time to rid my stomach of what little food I had left at Katie's feet.
She her face hardend in disgust before her stare softened as she bent down to help me up. "You okay there champ?" Susan asks while leaking out from behind the bedroom door.
"Yea I'm alright, I will live"
Gritting my teeth I take a step forward, expecting to stumbe but instead I find my feet steady and strong. I'm dertermend to get out of Here somehow. There is now way that I could live like this forever. I would give anything to be back home, striving for something that seemed normal to me. Without a word I pass the girls and head to the kitchen. I start to clean. Both Katie and Bailey get up to help me but I wave them away. Susan sighs and gose back into the room. I clean, hoping to expel the dark and dangerous thoughts form my mind but it only seems to make it worse. God how I would love to go on a run right now. To feel the wind I'm my hair and the bliss of being free of my thoughts. I eventually slip into mindless trance of scrubbing. 

Hey guys,  it's me,  I'm sorry about slow updates and short chapters.  Life hasn't been easy lately but I'm trying.  Xx.
