C H A P T E R  F I V E | The First Flashback

MY FEET STEPPED ONTO THE cold frigid floor of the apartment, hands laid put by my side. Grazing my lower lip, I moved my hands along the dark walls trying to find a light switch.

Savannah...you've got nowhere to hide...

Terrified, I begin to back away, my mind creating a room in my mind for horrible memories of my past. Just as the whole light washed over the room, I peered inside. There was another scene playing inside the room. A jittery feeling birthed in me. I could see a little girl settled on the floor; she looked around seven. She had donned on a pink skirt with a frilly top, sequins decorating the little belt. Innocence fell from her every moment as he jumped her dolls around.

This little innocent girl was me and the one who was saying this was my step father, my mother's husband.

She muttered words along with playing with the lifeless dolls, her large eyes widening at his slow paced voice. If only she knew what would happen next...

Sadness brimmed the corner of my eyes as I watched my past self. Tears numbed my eyes as I choked back a little sob. Don't hurt her...she's too pure. She doesn't know...

"S? All the girls are gathered in the hall. They are all expecting you. S?" She stopped once she felt like she was being droned out by me. Her gentle hold on me snapped me back to reality. I looked at her with wide eyes and than back into the room. Instead of it being my old bedroom, it was just the dressing room with hundreds of dresses all gifted to me by Natalie. She was persistent as heck.

"Is everything okay?"

No.

"I'm fine. I just felt this strong--" I stopped once I realized I'm not the one to give explanations. My gaze hardened and I wrenched away from her comforting hold. "Get away from me. Tell them I'll be there. "

Hurt and confusion flashed through Cora's eyes. I watched her as she left me abandoned there. A cruel smile formed on my lips as I let her go. I don't need anyone.

 I don't need anyone
