As I entered the neighborhood I saw my dad and a new woman. Moved on from Brynn I see. I watch as my dad throws her into our abandon cellar my dad now uses for woman. After he slams her in there he jumps in himself. I hear calls for help and screams, but no one would help, no one will reply. She was on her own. I wish there was something I could do but there wasn't.
I ran inside as fast as I could. Brynn surprised me when she was on the couch. "Uhh... what are you doing here?" I asked. She was stripped down to her black lace bra and underwear.
She looked at me as if I were stupid, "Carl said he had to go to the store and that he'll be back."
I nod, "Would you like anything?" might as well accept the role as the maid.
She shook her head, "Nah..."
"You sure you don't want a shirt or pants or anything?"
She shook her head again, "I like to show."
"I can tell. Well if you don't need me..." I ran upstairs to my room and plopped onto my bed. I looked over to my digital clock, it read, 3:45 p.m. Tanner popped into my mind out of no where. He really was a cute kid and a little odd. I wonder if he went up to every girl and asked those things and was that friendly. Hmm... Suddenly my phone started vibrating. I pick it up,
"Hello?"
"Hey this Claire Unknown?"
"Tanner?"
"Yep."
"How did you get my number?"
"Stole your phone while you weren't watching and typed your number into my phone."
"You tricky bastard."
Tanner laughed, "Anyway want to meet at the park again tonight. Like a late night picnic?"
"Alone, late a night with a creepy ass kid? No thanks."
"I'll be at the park at eight. Hope you change your mind and meet me."
The line goes dead and a shut my old phone.
I take out the nicest outfit I own. My winter outfit. A long sleeved, knitted, grey top with white jeans and beanie. I lay it nicely on my bed before heading downstairs to do my chores.
As I was doing my dad's laundry I was thinking about Tanner. Maybe I won't always be alone... but my mind had other plans.
___FlashBack___
My hand held tight to Logan's as we walked down to my house, We've been dating for almost a year now and things were getting serious. As we reached my doorstep he kissed my cheek and told me goodnight. I smiled and walked inside. When I heard yelling and screams of pain, I ran outside to see my dad beating Logan to death. He pulled out his gun and pointed it to Logan's head. I screamed and started crying, 'Dad no! No dad no!' I pleaded. He just gave me a creepy smile, 'Everything comes with consequences darling.' He pulled the trigger. I ran to Logan's dead body and held him tight, 'I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.' I kept repeating my dad kicked me away from the body...
____FlashBack Ended___
That night my dad had almost beat me to death screaming at me, ordering me to never fall in love, that I wasn't ever allowed to leave. Ever since I've been scared. It's best for me to stay alone that way no one will ever get hurt.
I remember my dad saying, "You will always be alone."
