A dream hidden behind a sweat shirt

Thirty nine

*mollys prospective*

I snuck out into the dark sky. The moon and stars sent down light to guide me through the passageway to my safety.

The chilled night air brushed my legs and I ran. Luckily the pub wasn't that far away. When I was first running here I didn't notice the scenery, the sky was pitch black, the moon stood out like a dimond in a stash of rubies. The stars where like a fire sparklier lighting up the misunderstood darkness of the sky. The green grass outlined the jet black road. The moonlight gave off a safe environment. Before I knew what was what I was at the pub. The bright multi colored lights showen as 'Levi's pub.' It was wrote in fancy hand writing and it made the building look like an Irish one. The building was a soft brown color, and there where windows lining the outside. As you walked up the stairs to the pub there was a rocking chair. The windows had light streaming through the outside making it look cozy. I walked up the rickity steps and into the pub. The small bell rang showing that I was in here. A few people glanced at me. Most went back to there conversations while others stopped and stared at me. I stalked up to the counter. Someone new was here then the night before. He had brown hair that hung in his eyes. He had deep blue almost black eyes. He had a smile that was cute with dimples.

I cleared my throat and he looked over at me from taking an order.

"Be right with ya ma'am." He had an Irish accent.

"Okay." I said almost silently. A few moments later he walked over to me. He must have just noticed my black eye and swollen busted up face because his smile fell off and a look of concern came upon it.

"You alright miss?"

"Yes just fine... Um I was wondering if I could use the phone here." I glanced around the room and my eyes finally landed on a phone.

"It's kind of urgent." I noticed that someone was using it and there was quite a line of people. He nodded his head and gestured for me to come with him. We walked to the back and I looked around. I was still wearing the sunflower summer dress from earlier that day and my black hair fitted around my face making me look boyish. I was wearing black slip ons from Cassidy and a sweater to keep me warm.

He pulled out his phone.

"Here use mine malady." I gladly accepted and called the first number off the top of my head. My mother.

It rang three times before answering.

"Hello?" It was my mother.

"Mum?"

"M-Molly?" Her voice cracked

"Yes mummy it's me."

"Where are you I thought you were dead!"

"I am um I'm at." I looked up to ask where I was but he must have caught on early by listening to the conversation "Yakima."

I repeated what he said but added Washington to my statement.

"Yakima! What are you doing there?"

"Lynn was taking me to his cabin and I clawed his face and we got in a car wreck. I started running and when I came to the pub they called me a prostitute and kicked me out, I kept running and came to a farm. I stayed in the barn and they came and found me and the family took me in. I went back to the pub and a kind gentleman let me use his phone to conact you and now here we are."

Tears started forming in my eyes and I felt a hand rub my back. I looked over and he gave me a faint smile. After that my mom said she would send jasper after me right away and I gave her the adress to go to. I hung up and handed him his phone back.

"thanks um." I just thought that I didn't know his name.

"Andrew."

"Ah thanks Andrew."

"And who may you be?"

"Molly."

"Very nice." I smiled and he made me think of jasper. I missed him so much.

"Yeah so I should get going."

"Let me drive you back, I just got off my shift anyways."

"My mom always told me not to get in cars with strangers."

"But you know my name." He winked at me.

"I guess... But swear you aren't a axe murderer!"

"I swear it on my soul."

I laughed and we walked out of the building.

"So what brings you here, I mean I heard about the car crash but why did you claw his face."

"Oh my dad you mean?" His eyes widened.

"Dad?"

"Yeah well my dad did this to me..." I pointed to my face

"And he did much more otherstuff. He had been doing it since I was seven, but then I told and he went to prison, he recently got out and beat my mom, she's now in the hospital and he threatened with my family and boyfriends life so I went with him, and he raped me and beat me, I clawed his face when we were going to his cabin and ran away to this family's house. They took me in." I smiled at him and I climbed into his big red rig. It had silver rims with a black tire sourounding it, it was a 2013 Chevy pickup. I shut the door and looked at him. He smiled while turning the engine on.

"Oh I understand now." Apperently he knew the family and so he drove me there without directions. I got out of the rig once we got there and smiled he wrote his number on my arm down and I ran to where I got in the first time. There was no way I was sleeping in a barn. I crawled in and saw Cassidy sleeping. I laid on the floor next to her. No blankets, no pillows, just on the wooden floor. My family was finally on there way
