Thirty-Four

Marie Cousins P.O.V

"No she's not getting an abortion." My dad said.

"Good." I made no eye contact with him when I replied.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah."

"I still haven't gotten in contact with your mother."

"Oh."

I sat back on my bed, and pulled out my favourite book, with the name of IT. I had read it already, but I figured I'd read some of it again.

I heard the loud door bell.

"I'll get it!" My dad called out.

I was curious as to who was at the door, and it was my mother. I,was honestly shocked.

"Mom what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Looking for you."

I backed away slowly. I wish I had been anywhere but her. With Georgie, or Kim, anywhere but here.

Resist the urge Marie, don't run away.
Don't run away.

I gulped as I leaned against the counter. My dad wasn't even saying anything at all.

I tried to breathe, but I felt as if breath had been taken away from me.

My mother wasn't even in the house yet and I was already calling for help in my mind. She beat up Kim. I sprinted up to my room, and locked the door, and pressed my body against it. I let it slide down the door as I sat myself down on the floor. My legs stretched along the wood of my bedroom floor.

My heart began to race as I heard footsteps get louder and louder coming towards my door.

I reached in my pocket, and I realized I didn't have my knife with me. I left it at the cabin.

"Open this door right now Marie!" My mother snapped as she struggled with the doorknob.

Guess my running days aren't over then. I opened up my window, and jumped out of it, lucky I landed on my feet. I sprinted across my front lawn, and down the sidewalk, and ran all the way to Georgie's house.
