After Her(On Hold)

🌸3🌸

Amalia's pov 🌸

I put on some clothes after getting out of the bathtub. I dressed myself in a long sleeved white top along with some blue ripped jeans and a pair of sneakers. I cleaned the bathroom and walked back to my room. I started packing the last of my belongings and zipped up my bag. I grabbed my laptop and my cellphone and left it on the bed. Today is the day I get out of this hell whole. I think to myself as I make my way down the stairs to prepare dinner for my mom and Jeff.

I find my mom sitting on the chair watching television whilst Jeff is sitting on his chair with a cigarette in his mouth and a beer in his hand. I walk to the kitchen and take out some chicken from the fridge. I decided on making roasted chicken and potatoes with a green salad. I started preparing the food and thought of my escape tonight.

I've been planning on getting out of this hell whole for months now. I met a girl named Emma a a year ago at the cafe I used to work at. She was friendly and outgoing and also the only girl who ever bothered to befriend me. She has short blonde hair and big blue eyes with a slim model like body.We became best of friends and now we're basically inseparable.

She discovered some bruises on my body and basically bullied me into telling her how I got them so I did. She wanted me to run to the police but I told her I couldn't because my parents would find out and kill me just like they threatened to do every time I tried to escape.I have tried to escape before but they would catch me every time and when they do they make sure I regret even thinking about it.

I really do hope and pray that my escape would turn out perfect this time around. I can't begin to think what will happen if they catch me. I know I have to stay positive but I can't help but worry.

As I  was busy cooking I thought back to the good times I had with my mom and dad when I was younger and couldn't help but smile with  a tear in my eye. I remember when dad used to play with  each outside while mom would stay in the kitchen and cook. Sometimes dad and I would help mom but we spent most of our time outside.

Back then my mom was a short young beautiful woman with dark brown hair and beautiful green eyes. She always looked good and took good care of herself but now she's changed. Alcohol and drugs made her the person she is today. She's no longer beautiful. She's worn out. Her once beautiful green eyes now looks dull and she has permanent bags under her eyes. Her once beautiful skin is now worn out and has spots everywhere. She's nothing like the woman she used to be.

My dad was tall with dark brown hair and blue eyes. I inherited my dad's beautiful blue eyes and I couldn't be happier. My dad was the sole provider in the house. He used to own his own car shop. Her was a mechanic. He was always kind to people and an amazing man. We weren't rich but we weren't poor either. We lived a happy financially stable life. I miss him everyday.

I felt a tear rolled down my cheek and wiped it away quickly. I was busy chopping onions for the green salad when Jeff walked passed me to grab a beer. He opened the beer and left.

I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket so I took it out.

*be ready at 8 Lia. We'll meet at the corner.* I read the text that came from Emma.

*okay Em. * I responded.

We agreed that we'd meet two streets down from my house at the corner we always meet each other at. She'll be waiting for me along with her brother Liam. From there they'll be taking me to the airport and I will be on my way to New York. We've made these arrangements months ago.

I saved up enough money to by myself a plane ticket. I also had money left in a bank account that my dad left for me for when I turned eighteen. My mother never knew about it though because if she did I wouldn't have seen a dime of it. I bought a one bedroom apartment for myself in New York so that I would have a place to stay.

I checked the clock on the wall and noticed that it's seven  in the evening. Just one hour left. I chanted in my head.

I dished up two plates for both my mother and Jeff and placed it in the oven.

I walked passed Jeff and my mom and found that they were both passed out on the floor. Now is the time to make my move. I walked up to my room grabbed my bags and threw it outside my window and than I walked back downstairs quietly . I passed the kitchen and walked out of the door successfully without them waking up.

I picked up my bags outside of my bedroom and ran down the streets.

Fifteen minutes later and I saw Liam's black car in the distance. I approached it and knocked on the window. Emma got out and hugged me.

"I'm glad to see your safe."She said as she dragged me into the car and Liam started driving.

"Thank you so much Emma. Thanks for helping me."I said.

"No need to thank me. Your my sister and I love you. I want you to be happy and I want you to be safe Lia."She cried as she hugged me close to her chest. We spent the drive holding onto each other as if it were our last time together.

The car stopped and we both pulled away knowing that we've reached the airport. I got out and grabbed my bags and turned around to say goodbye.

"Take good care of yourself Amalia and call me when you get there." Emma said as she hugged me one last time.

"I will. I promise." I said and walked away from her. I got onto the plain and sat in my seat. I thought about my miserable life and about the new life that I'm about to start for myself . I only hope and pray that I'll be happy again.

The plain took off and I laid down in my seat feeling a sense of relief for the first time in my life. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
