freedom can start with love

chapter 6

      Josh

  I was freaking out as Amber pulled out the guns and the ammo. What the hell was going on here? I'd asked her 20 times but every time I got the same goddamn answer " Ms. Elizabeth will explain everything when she comes back!" I tried to leave multiple times but every time opened the door she flipped me on my back. The woman may look small but she's strong as hell. When we were finally were ready to leave the room and go next door I had hatched a plan to escape when we were in the hallway. When I opened the door for her, she gave me a cautious look then went out into the hallway we started walking slowly, I think because she was watching for anyone to jump out at us. I grabbed the the opportunity and turned to run, but i got one step and I felt something hit the center of my back...... hard, it realize it was her hand. I'm falling right before I hit the ground I lost consciousness. How is she so strong was my last thought. Next thing I know i'm waking up to Lizzy beside me, crying. No why is she crying? She shouldn't be crying. I try to sit up but the pain stopped me. She realizes i'm awake and lifts her head and looks at me. She smiles through her tears and say "hey baby, you've been unconscious for 2 days. You are in our personal hospital here at the house."

"W-what had-happened?"

"You didn't listen to me and Amber she had to knock you unconscious before you got yourself hurt. She hit you too hard and knocked you out longer than she meant to."

"W-why?"

"The people in the house could have killed you in an instant, she was protecting you which was her job"

" W-where are they now?"

"In jail!"

She was crying through her smile. I knew something else was up. She was upset for another reason, i was about I ask when I heard the door open. Amber walked through with some flowers "look who is up, I apologize for knocking you unconscious" I understood and nodded but that doesn't mean my questions have gone away. But the need for sleep hits me hard and fast. I slip under.next time i wake up it's dark and Lizzy is pacing. As if she can sense my gaze on her she looks over at me. I can see the remorse on her face, this time when i try to sit up i'm successful, " What's going on? Who were those guys? Why did they break in? Lizzy you need to explain everything now!" Victor who was sitting on my right, i didn't notice him, stood up and looked upset " now listen here, you chose to come here with her here. You will respect my little girl, you got that lasse!"

"It's okay Victor he's right, he has a right to know"
"Aye he does deserve an explanation, but he's not going to speak to my lil girl that way as long as i'm around"

She went up to him and wrapped her arms round him. "I love you!" his voice and eyes softened and his arms went around her as well. " I love you to my beautiful girl, remember I may not be blood but you are my daughter." I was amazed about how relaxed she was around him. They look nothing alike but their vibe screamed daughter and father. Even though they had no blood relations. I felt bad for blowing up at her but i need answers! Finally Victor left and I looked at Lizzy expectantly. She looked at me with a soft smile on her face. " I Just need to wait for one person, you have to understand this isn't only my secret to share"

"LIzzy what the hell's going on?"
"Something that once you know you will need to either return home and forget once you hear it or stay with me"

"Come on lizzy you're freaking me out here"
" I know but he will be in here soon!"
"Who?"

"Drew!"
"What why does he need to be here?"
"Like I said it's not only my secret to share"

I know i'm not getting any more out of her till Drew gets here. What the hell was going on here? When Andrew finally gets there it's been around 2 hours. He look over at me and smiles "Finally get enough beauty sleep dude?"
