chapter 2

"I swear to god Mr. Tibatti, she was in her room two minutes ago! I saw her with my own eyes"! Dad and Fay were running up the stairs making loud breathing noises. Daddy was angry again. Really angry.

"I swear Fay..If she's not in her room you're fired! So freaking fired that no one will ever want to hire you again anywhere"!! I knew he was burning with anger but I didn't care. I was sitting inside the closet reading a book with the help of a small flash light. He always checks where I am when he comes back from work and it's so stupid of him and so useless. It's not like im going anywhere (not yet anyway..) but today I decided I wanted to freak him out a little. He deserved it. He needs to feel what I'm feeling for a change. Lost lonely and tired from waiting for my freedom.

In the end Fay opened the closet and let out a big sigh when she figured I was actually here all along.

"She's here Mr. Tibatti " She says all pale and shakey and then she sent me a "you're so dead" look when he didn't notice. He kind of pushed her aside with force to stand in front of me, his hands on his hips and his stare could set me on fire.

"You scared the hell out of me! What were you thinking!? I bloody almost got a heart attack!! What do you have to say for yourself young lady"!? His tone was high and wrinkles appeared upon his wide forehead.

"um..the blue tie really suits your eyes.."? I mumbled with a carefree look and he sighed deeply.

"Taylor this is not funny! Do

you know how-'

"How worried you were? How you almost passed out from fear? Yeah i bloody know! This is bloody the only thing i know! How worried you are about me and how worried you are going to be about me in the future! Daddy you cant lock me in here forever! I'm eighteen for gods sake! I'm a grown up! I know whats good for me and it's not staying here until I become skin and bones and melt into the ground"!

"Taylor"! He was so red right now and I knew I crossed the limit but I didn't care anymore! He should hear it once and for all.

"No! you're going to listen to me now! I dont wanna be your prisoner anymore! I..I..dont..I dont want to live here anymore"! My voice started trembling now but I ain't giving up this time even though I can feel the tears burning at the corners of my eyes.

"Taylor"! Dad continued looking like he's about to burst. Fay looked at us arguing while her face changed color from white to slightly wierd green. She was used to us fighting often but not like this, now it was too much even for her.

"Listen dad, i know we lost mom and Odette and Agatha in this awful storm but..this doesn't mean you're gonna lose me too. I'm not nemo you don't need to keep watching me 24/7 I can take care of myelf! Nothing bad will happen to me if I go out once in a while"!!

And that was it. Dad slapped me across my face and i fell on the floor from the strengh of the slap, feeling totally shocked. After a few seconds dad calmed down and when he was adjusting to what just happened his eyes widend from shock.

"T- Taylor I'm..I'm so.." I didnt hear the end of his sentence I was already running out of the room and closing the door behind me locking it with the key that dad still left stuck in the lock. Sometimes he locked me up when I lost it and wanted to run away but no more. Now I'm free and I'm never coming back. I'm going down the staris and stright to the front door. I can hear dad screaming my name from upstairs.

"Taylor! Taylor open the door right now! Taylor"! His voice so sharp and scared that I'm alomst about to change my mind and just forget about ever being free but then I know I will never have another chance. Its now or never and never is a long time..

I'm shaking when my hand touches the meatle handle. I planned it so many times in my head I can't just back off now. Am I really that weak? That narrow minded? No.no.no. I'm leaving and I don't care what anyone thinks about it .Expecially my dad.

"Taylor you don't understand! If you leave the tower something horrible will happen to you! You're not safe out there"!! His shouting was not getting to me anymore. I'm smiling to myself, ready to discover a world I only ever dreamt about and then..I opened

the door.
