    My heart is beating out of my chest as I fly down the hallway. My mind is racing, my palms are sweaty and I can't think straight.

    I can already feel the bruises that are forming from where Kent beat me. My ankle is throbbing and swollen. I don't think that I can run anymore.

    "Keeley! I know you're still here so why don't you come out and play some more!" Kent yelled from the other end of the hallway.

    The sound of his voice made me forget about the pain in my ankle. I started to run down the hallway and into the kitchen. Kent's still yelling and is slamming every door he opened to look for me.

    I got into the kitchen and rounded the island. My ankle gave out and I fell to the ground crying in pain.

    All of the noise stopped,"Oh, Keeley I was beginning to worry that you left the house before we could finish our little game." Kent taunted and walked into the kitchen.

    I need to get out of here but where should I go. I try to get up but my ankle gives out and I fall to the floor yelling in pain again.

Remember if you need anything don't be afraid to come to me anytime you need. I mean that Keeley, please come to me if you need help. That's it I need to get to him. All I have to do is get to him and it will be OK.

    I hear Kent coming near the island on the side that I'm on so I start to crawl around to the other side.

    "AHHH!" Kent grabbed my ankles and dragged me around to the other side.                            

    "Let go of me!" I yell and kick my legs and try to get him off of me.

    He flips me on my back and climbs on top of me. He grabs my wrists into one of his hands and pins them above my head. "Now that I found you, we can finish our little game." Kent draws in a sickening tone. Think, Keeley, think. I need to find a way to get out of here and find him.

    Then it hit me. There was a vase on top of the island. If I can get that then I can hit Kent in the head with it and knock him out. They do it in the movies all the time so it must work. Right?

    I start to squirm around to get so that I can reach the vase. My head flys to the side from the amount of force Kent put into slapping me. "Are you trying to get away again Keeley? We can't let that happen because we have another person that is going to come play with us and it's rude to leave before he gets here." He draws in a patronizing tone.

Another person is coming? Who could it be? Were they coming to save me?

And then it clicks the only person that Kent would be glad about coming would be Zach.

    I really need to get out of here if Zach is coming. So with all the strength I can muster I bring my knee up to hit Kent where the sun don't shine.

    He groaned and rolled off of me. I knew I had to act fast so I shot up and grabbed the vase that was on the counter and smashed it against Kent's head. He fell to the ground with a thud and was knocked out cold. Oh. My. Gosh. That actually worked!

    I started running out of the house as fast as I could. I didn't even close the door. I only had one thing on my mind and that was to get to him.

As I crossed the street I saw a car pull up by my house. My pulse started to quicken and my heart felt like it could burst out of my chest. That could only be one person.

    Zach.

    I was almost at his driveway  just a few more feet and I would be there.                                                                                                       "Keeley! Where are you going? Come back and give me a hug!" Zach yelled from his car.

    I didn't dare turn back it would slow me down and I'm so close so I just yelled back, " No, please go away and leave me alone Zach!"

    I could see the lights on in his house so I knew he was home. I'm so close to the door when I hear Zach's footsteps behind me. (You see the problem with being able to hear his footsteps is that he has the number one time for our track team and holds three state championships on his back and is the star running back for our football team so if I can hear him there a slim chance I can outrun him)

    I start to call his name in hopes that he will hear me because I don't know if I will make it to his door in time, "Grayson! Grayson please he-"

    I was cut off mid-sentence when a hand clamped over my mouth and an arm went around my waist to hoist me off the ground. I screamed but it was muffled by his hand so I started to kick and squirm out of Zach's grasp but he only held on tighter.

    "Come on Keeley, calm down. It's just me. Lets go back to your house and we can hang out like we used to.  What do you say?" Zach whispers in my ear in a low tone that makes me want to be sick.

    I bite down hard on his hand in response to his question. He lets out a yelp and drops me on the ground. (I was only in my pajamas which consisted of short shorts and a tight t-shirt.) The grass felt cold on my bare skin.

    I started to get up and run to Grayson's house again but Zach tackles me to the ground and climbs on top of me so that he is straddling me. "ZACH PLEASE GET OFF OF ME!" I yell and squirm to try and get free.

    "Aw, come on Keeley don't be like that."

    He starts to lean forward like he's going to kiss me. I put my hands on his chest and try to push him back. He grabbed both my wrists in one of his hands and pinned them above my head.

    "GRAYSON! GRAYSON! PLEASE CO-", I was cut off when Zach smashed his lips onto mine.

    His free hand was roaming all over my body. The kiss was painful and ruff. He bite on my bottom lip and I gasped out of surprise and pain. He took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth.

    I bite down hard on his tongue at the same time I heard a door opening, "Get off of her now!"

    Zach sat up but was still on top of me,"Excuse me. Who do you think you are?"

    "I could ask you the same question. So why don't you get off of her before I make you." Grayson said in a threatening low tone that sent chills down my spine.

    Zach slipped his hand up under my shirt while Grayson was talking and I let out a scream. This seemed to snap something in Grayson because he came up to Zach and punched him in the face.

    Zach rolled off of me onto the ground holding his nose and groaning out in pain. Grayson rushed to my side and scooped me up off the ground bridal style as if I weighed nothing. I wrapped my arms around his neck and started sobbing.

    "Shh, Keeley it's OK. I've got you now. He won't hurt you I promise," Grayson trys to calm me down as he starts to walk towards his front door, " I won't let anyone hurt you, ever."

    I blackout right after faintly hearing those words.
