I-A-D-O-R-E-Y-O-U ✦ Grayson Dolan

23-The Chase

I tap my foot against the pavement waiting for the door to open.

The pale yellow door creaks open and I push pass the male in the doorway.

My feet take off and I basically suffocate my beautiful children.

I take in their sent and tears pour out of my eyes.

"I love you guys so much. I missed you." I tell them.

"I missed mommy," Violet says climbing on me.

I carefully put the twins now. They couldn't walk yet which was normal.

I didn't want to let go I hugged violet like the world depended on it.

I feel a smooth hand move over my shoulder.

He kisses my neck and massages my shoulders.

"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever met. Have I told you that." Grayson whispered into my ear.

"Yes baby many times." I turn around putting my book down.

"Okay I was trying to start something but I can't help but recognized how much you've changed since I've met you." He smiles moving my hair behind my hair.

"When I met you, you were this angry teen that wanted to block everyone out. You were rude and ignorant. Now you are this beautiful, intelligent, caring, mom that I can't stop thinking about. " he chuckles.

"I just wanna marry you again." He says with a toothless smile.

"Then do it," I tell him pulling him closer between my legs.

"Okay Nova Lace Dolan do you want to marry my stupid ass again, this time with our family and friend. The biggest fucking wedding you could hope for." Grayson says.

"You bet your sexy ass I do." I smiled putting my arms around his neck kissing him.

I smile between our short kisses.

He is my heart and soul.

"Lea, Grayson is gonna kill us when he figures out I'm gone. I'm not supposed to leave the house." I tell her as she drags me through the town.

"I don't care you don't have any new clothes since you went to France." She says.

I groan as she pulls me along the alleyway.

You could even blink before I heard her scream.

A tall man in a black trench coat pulls out a large knife stabbing Lea in the stomach.

She spits blood before falling over.

"LEA!" I scream falling next to her body.

I need to keep her alive before he kills me.

I went to rip her shirt but cloth was placed over my mouth and I struggled as hard as I could.

I fought. I fought for Lea, My kids, my husband,my family,and for some reason myself.

But I failed and everything went black.

_ _ _

I scream feeling my thighs slide against the cement floor.

I was not supposed to wake up.

"Fuck." The man shouts dropping me.

"She's awake." He tells another.

I stand up,it's hard to do anything my body feels numb.

Pin and needles strike me when I run to a door and door just to find a way out.

I hear footsteps behind me but that doesn't stop me.

Run

Run

Run

Ignore the pain and fight

I listen to myself pushing myself to the limits.

Blood spills out of the cuts on my thighs and my legs shake.

Turn and turn,it felt like a maze.

Like I was going crazy.

Whoever made with psych ward definitely had a plan. Two come in and one comes out.

It's mental torture trying to find a door or a room that wasn't a hallway.

My head had a mental image of a big red sign that had exit on it but I never find it.

I trip.

Out of everything I trip.

Like every person in the movies and books. I fucking trip.

There was no way out,no extra lives or pauses. This was no game. I couldn't stop the man from grabbing me.

I wasn't strong enough, I tried to big and scratch and pull away from him.

I didn't have power and that was the weakest I've ever felt.

That fact that I needed something to keep me safe.

A gun or my husband. I could protect myself.

That made me blame myself.

I try and think of everyone I love or loved. People who made a difference in my life.

Nothing stops it. Nothing in my head could stop reality. A dark,ugly,disturbing reality.

Something no one wants to face. But it was my time to come face to face with my life.

No scream was loud enough to push them away.

I was weak and helpless.

And the cloth was back on my mouth.

Burning away my sanity.
