What Lies Within

Midnight Falls

Weeks pass and I feel a change in my body as I know that I am most likely pregnant, the whole house is locked down and he lets me out of the room and tells me to cook breakfast as he is reading the newspaper, which I think is totally cliche. I begin to make breakfast and he says "So do you think you're pregnant yet?" I shrug "I wouldn't know without a test and or a doctor's visit but even then I don't have the right type of vitamins to keep myself or even the child healthy." He looks up from his papers his eyebrows furrowed and he says "What type of vitamins?" I roll my eyes "Like a prenatal?" He laughs and nods and I continue to cook, after breakfast is done we eat at the table and I look at him and says, "Has my dad tried getting a hold of you since the whole money thing?" He shakes his head no and then places the newspaper on the table and walks over to the sink I notice the front door is open and I want to take a shot but I am to scared. I go to stand up and begin slowly making my way to the door as I reach the door without him noticing I begin to run quickly and not looking back. My breath is increasing as i'm running so fast finally feeling the outside wind and breathing in fresh air, I have never been so happy in my life. I hear gun shots from behind me about three miles back as I know he is gonna kill me if he catches me, I am beyond lost and have no idea where I am at as I just keep running in circles, the sun begins to set and it is getting cold and dark. I can't believe I liked this guy.
