11) Suprise!

Hannah's PTV

As I left Jacob's house for the last time I felt a strong pang of guilt. He had been there for me at my lowest and he never found out what my high was. To be honest I never knew what my high was there was never a point where I was not fearing for my life, because of my dad. The only happiness that I ever knew was when my mom was alive. Even then I can not remember what that was like, to not be living in fear of whether or not you would survive the night.

I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I did not realize that I had arrived at the hell hole that I used to call my home. I carefully peeked inside the window to make sure that my dad was passed out on the couch as usual, lucky for me he was, but did I ever suspect otherwise, no not really.

I carefully turned the doorknob hoping that it would not creak and wake up my dad. Luckily for me luck was on my side. It opened without a hassle or for that matter without a noise. Just then I heard a twig snap. I slowly turned around to make sure that I was not being followed by someone who would blow my cover. As I hoped there was no one there. I got back to the matter at hand, getting in the house so that I can get my shit, and the money that my "father" stole from me. So out of the hatred of my heart I decided that I would return the favor and steal his backup beer money, and all of the cash he had laying around the house.

As I went up to my room I was overcome with the sense that someone was following me. I shook it off thinking it was just in my head. I still could not shake that feeling so I packed up as quickly as humanly possible, all of the things that I packed consisted of all of my clothes, some of my mom's things that I saved through the years, and all of the cash that I could find around the house in the multiple hiding spots. Just then I heard a crash downstairs and my heart sank to the bottom of my feet I knew what that noise meant. It meant that the demon spawn that calls himself a father was up, and he was fuming. The good news was that there was a window in my room, the bad news was that I left the keys downstairs. I snuck out of my old room and peaked over the banister to see if my dad was at the fridge grabbing another beer. Luckily for me he was, I ever so carefully walked down the stairs and grabbed the keys to the truck. As I turned the doorknob I felt a strong pull on the back of my head. When I opened my eyes I saw my dad looming over me poised and ready to hit.

"Dooo you even know what you did you llittle bitchh." My dad slurred as he ever so weakly attempted to punch me, all he did was punch the air by my face. This had only ever happened once before and I knew that he would pass out in a couple of seconds. However he quickly regained himself and actually punched me a second after I thought that.

"Stop dad please stop" I pleaded as his punches became harder and more frequent. He then got bored of punching me and then proceeded to kick me in the stomach, knocking the air out of me. That was when I heard the door slam open.

"Step away from her unless you want to lose an arm." Jacob said as he walked closer to where my dad still held me by the shirt.

"What are you doing here? I told you that I had to run away that is not an invitation to join me on a suicide mission to my house!" I exclaimed fuming that Jacob had the balls to follow me. Better yet that he thought that I could not handle myself, well I was about to prove him wrong.

I grabbed my dad's wrist and flipped him on his back and then proceeded to punch him until he passed out.

"Now," I said,"what is with you and thinking that I can not handle myself." I asked as I looked at a  surprised and confused Jacob.

"Well I thought that you were going to need my help if you ran into your dad, but apparently you had it handled." Jacob said with the stupidest look on his face, I wish I had a camera just then so that I could show him how stupid he looked just then.

"Yes well goodbye I still have a truck to steal and a run away plan to proceed with." I said as I grabbed the keys to the truck, and attempted to walk past Jacob. However I was stopped quite abruptly by Jacob who would not let me go.

"You are not going." Jacob said,"at least not alone."

"What, are you saying Jacob." The confusion lining my voice clear as rain.

"I'm saying that if you are running away then I am running away with you."

You guys they are going to run away together. What will happen when Hannah's dad realizes what they did?
