I let out a deep sigh.
I guess this is really it.
No turning back.
I silently tiptoed my way to our gate and seems like luck is with me at the moment because the guard is asleep and I took the chance to open the gate slightly so that it won't create a noise that can awaken them. I did try my best to fit on that tiny space which I did successfully.
I ran and I ran like someone's after me. I didn't bother to look back. Until I reached the end of the hallway of our house. I didn't go to our main gate, instead, I went to the wall that is far from the gate and expertly climbed it. It's kinda difficult because it's too high for me to reach. But I planned all of this for a long time and of course I got a plan. I stepped on the veins that are attached on the wall and used it as my stair. I did everything to maintain my balance because one wrong move and I'll fall to the ground and break my head.
I felt relieved when I landed safely on the ground outside.
I was welcomed by a cold wind and a noisy street. It's already midnight but still, there's a lot of people that are awake.
Can I really do this? Or should I just go back? Can I ever live normally in this foreign noisy place? Cani survive?
I'VE been sitting on a bench for almost half an hour now thinking if what I did is correct or not. But I'm not that stupid. I know that it's wrong, but it feels right.
I'm busy with my thoughts that I didn't noticed the men who are now surrounding me, keeping me in place, looking at me with a devil smile on their lips like I was their prey and they are already ready to attack me. And I guess I'm too weak to beat them all.
I stand up and made my way to their leader's direction. And as fast as a lighting, I kicked his face and I swear, I really regretted that one hell of a move. It's too stupid. I'm so stupid. It made them all alert and without wasting a second, they quickly attacked me and I did nothing but to kick, punch, and hit everyone that comes near me.
I was caught off guard and didn't noticed the guy at my back that covers my nose and mouth. I'm trynna get lose but this one is too strong. And just like what I've watched at the television before, my consciousness is slowly fading away. I guess this is the end of Celestina Camille Perez. Mom, dad, I'm sorry. I love you.
"Sleep tight, baby girl." That's the last words that I've heard with their laughters and then everything went black.
