Is It Worth It All(violate)ON HOLD

Chapter 4-New home

12:00 midnight...

She heard a door creak and was immediately woken up from her slumber. In her bedrooms doorway stood Patrick. He had a black suitcase in his hands. Patrick walked over to her.

"Ssh" he said bringing his finger to his lips. Violet sat up in bed.

"duf-" she started, but was cut off by Patricks hand over her mouth.

Violets eyes widened. Patrick handed her the suitcase. She stared at him, confused.

"Pack your clothes Violet...and be quiet"

"But wher-"

"Just pack your clothes, Violet!" he yelled, but soon regreted it. He was afraid of Chad walking in on them.  He didn't have time for that.

She got off bed and started to open drawers, grabbing her clothes, and placing them in the suitcase. She grabbed a toy dinousour that Tate had given her as a late birthday present, and placed it neatly in her suitcase. "there, I'm done" she said.

"Okay" he said running his fingers through his hair. He let out a breath and continued "come, we have to go" he grabbed her hand and lead her to the staircase. They walked down slowly, carefully trying not to make any noise. The last step creaked loudly, and Patrick flinched as if someone was about to puch him.

They heard a door open from above. "Hurry let's get out of here!" he gripped her hand tighter and started running with her towards the car. She got in the car and Patrick shoved her suitcase in the backseat. He got in and started the car. Patrick backed up in the driveway just as Chad came running towards them.

"HEY, COME BACK YOU CAN'T TAKE HER LIKE THIS!"

Chad yelled at the top of his lungs.

Patrick sped up into the street. Violet looked out of the window behind her and saw Chad racing towards them. Patrick picked up his speed, until Chad was out of view.

She felt tears rolling down her face, but she was too scared and confused to wipe them away.

2 hours later...

Patrick took Violet back to Dereck's place. That's the only place they could be safe now. He knew Chad would call the police and have them look for him, they would take Violet away from him, and he would spend time in jail, but he wasn't going to let that happen.

They walked over to the little house that was painted a sky shade blue. It was a place full of happiness and love, or at least that's what Patrick thought.

Patrick knocked on the door a few times and a tall dark haired guy with crystal blue eyes came out. He was attractive.

"Patrick...?" The guy trailed off looking at Violet.

"I hope you don't mind I brought someone along" Patrick said gesturing to Violet.

Dereck gave him a fake smile while shaking his head.

"Oh, of course I don't mind, I love children" He said crouching down in front of Violet and tapping her nose. Dereck hated children, but if pretending to like them will keep him with Patrick,  he would do it.

"Oh, what a relief" he said half joking. They all walked inside and sat down in the living room. Violet sat on Patrick's lap and he soothed out her hair.

"I'll go bring something to drink" Dereck said getting up and heading towards the kitchen. Violet looked up at her dad. "duffy, where are we?" she asked. Patrick looked down at her daughter and smiled.

"This is your new home, Violet"
