Mom grabbed the collar of my shirt ansd yanked me close to her. I could feel her hot breath against my face as she spoke.
"We... are... moving... right... when... your... child... turns... one..." she said menacingly
"Mo-"
"UNLESS YOU WANT PAIGE ABORTED!"
Tears swelled in the dams of my eyes. I struggled free of my moms grasp and rushed out the door as fast as I could. I ran around the house into the woods. I hears footsteps behind me so I ran harder. I realized there was a tree right in front of me. a cold hand grabbed my shoulder so I skidded to a halt. I braced myself for the worst and turned my head. To my suprise it was Paige who had followed me. Her face was pale and she had a long cut streaking down the side of her cheek. I looked her her sternly...
"Why are you following me?!" I screamed
I realized my mistake, her eyes filled with tears. she dropped to her knees and started to sob.
"Y-you n-n-need to h-help me get t-through t-t-this!" she sobbed
I squatted down next to her and pulled her into my arms. We had to go back to face mom. I pulled her up, then we started a slow pace back toward the house. Paige continued to sob in angony and pride. This was a disaster! I paused as Paige revolted and vomited off to her side. I cringed it felt like I was in a horror movie that would never end. We continued our pace, not daring to speak, not even a whisper. I looked up and saw the sun was in the center of the clear blue sky.
"Lets stop for a minute..." Paige spoke finally
I nodded my head in agreement and searched the trail for a stump to sit on. I spotted one to my left and started toward it. Paige sat down on the stump and buried her face in her hands. I saw blood run down her face, I peeled her hands away from her and examined the cut. I needed to get her back to my house so mom could bandage it properly.
"Paige lets start moving." I said tensly
She hauled herself up from the stump and stumbled forward. Moments passed before I heard my moms frantic cries. Paige glanced at me and rushed forward. I followed her, my house came into veiw. Mom was making her way towards the woods with a first-aid kit in hand. She caught my eye and charged forward like a cheeta chasing a gazelle. She slamed into me and wrapped her arms around me.
"NEVER scare me like that again, you UNDERSTAND!" she screamed
"Yea mom..." I said as I slid from her arms
Paige walked up to me and embraced me in a warm hug. Mom pulled us apart.
"Lets get you kids home." mom said emotionaly
Paige and I followed her out of the woods and to the back porch. I jumped as my feet hit the hot cement of our back porch. I should have worn shoes. I took a quick hesataint step forward. I rushed across the pavement. I sighed with releif when my feet hit the rug. I slid open the back door and walked inside. Paige placed her hand over her face to hide the cut that slid down the side of her face, my mom gently curled her fingers around Paige's hand and removed it from her face, and grimanced when she saw the blood.
"Lets go to the kitchen..." she said slowly
So we went to the kitchen.
