Not thinking about what'll happen nexts I get up and run to the closet, getting the few items I have and some I need then I go to the bathroom and do the same, I don't care where I put them in my bag so long as I'm fast he should get back from 'work' soon so I have to be. I grab some clothes, and put them on making sure that I put on my long, black, knee high boots and my slightly big black and white hoodie on, throw the goodbye letter on his bed, then I just run as fast as I can, down the stairs through the hallway an- SLAM. just as I'm about to go out the front door and make my way to freedom he's home from work, he had just opened his mouth to speak when he saw me, and once he saw me his eyes filled with rage, (I-I've never seen him this angry) I think as horror and surprise fill my face unintentionally. He's so angry that his devil form has taken over and is charging for me. There are no words, only rage and fear like all the other times except this one is different, my feet aren't glued to the ground and I can run so that's what I do, so fast that even I'm surprised, maybe it's the adrenaline? I'm running out the back door, not looking back. I know where I'm going, I'm going to my best friend, I'm going to my new start, I'm going to my freedom....

I arrive faster then I though I would, out of breath but running up stairs laughing with, with joy.Oh my god I'm laughing with happiness. Everybody looks at me like I'm insane but I don't care I'm free (you know it's the adrenaline that's making you laugh right?) i decide to ignore the voices in my head for awhile. When I finally get up to Trivia's apartment I knock frenetically to get her attention, I hear a few groans and "all right, all right I'm coming" and finally the door opens.

"What!-" she says with annoyance but as she looks up at my face and sees who I am, she stops in her tracks and her hands cover her mouth

"A-ash?? Is that you?! Is it really you?!" Trivia says more to herself then me as she touches my check, repeatingly telling herself 'it can't be' but she snaps out of it when I say

"Trivia, hey I'm really here, I promise you're not imagining things" I try to sound funny and sarcastic, giving my best an attempt of a smile

"This isn't funny!! What are you doing here? How did you get here? Have you finally left that, that monster.....?" I pull her into a tight hug, even tho I hate them and only give them to people who really, really need them

"Does that answer your question?" I say in a joking matter

"Yeah" she says as she smiles at me

"Um, I'm all up for the catch up but I think we should hurry inside and talk" there's so much unintentional worry in my voice as I say that. He never goes into his devil form unless he wants to kill someone.....

"Um, sure but you have to tell me why, and what happened" she says, curiosity in her voice as she pulls me into her small apartment.
