The floor creaked as I passed by Nate's room. Great, one more sound and I'm dead!! Or worse...my heart pounded against my chest, so loud I can hear it thumping in my head. I stood at the front door. A part of me wanted to escape, the other half was afraid of getting caught.

I paused for a moment, my hand on the doorknob. What am I doing? I asked myself, frozen in place. Did I want him to catch me? I wasn't sure..I slowly turned the handle, making myself jump. The cold air blew on my face as I stepped out of the house.

This is it, Angelica. I told myself as I looked back one final time and started walking down the street.

A couple of minutes later, I heard a truck pull up and made the mistake of turning back.

It was Nate.

No, no, no, no!!!!!!

I ran off, with him on my heels.

Tripping over my feet, I fell down hard on the floor. My head spun as I turned around, gasping for air.

He got out with rage in his eyes. I knew I was dead. He bent down and slapped me hard, telling me to get in the truck.

When we got home, he started to drag me by my wrist, up to my room, demanding where I was going. I tried to catch my breath as I landed with a thud and looked up as he towered over me, saying in a cruel tone, "Never, and I mean it Anna, do that again. I will decide on your punishment in the morning." and locked the door. My lip quivered as I got up and flung myself onto the bed, sobbing and thinking of my family.

When I woke up, the door was still locked. "Thanks a lot, you stupid mind..." I muttered quietly as Nate opened the door and glared at me. "Why did you do it?" He asked, his eyes staring straight at me. I began to shake as I hung my head. "I'm sorry, sir..I truly am..I won't do it again, I promise.."

"This has gone far enough, Anna. Why did you do it?" He asked again, folding his arms. I looked away from him and began to cry. "Well?" He asked, starting to get impatient with me. "Shut up!!" I yelled at him, and ran out of the room, pushing Nate. "ANNA, GET BACK HERE, NOW!!" He yelled, running after me. I slid down the banister and reached for the door. He grabbed me roughly by the neck just as my fingertips touched the handle. I screamed in pain as he pinned me to the wall, almost choking me. "P-please don't kill me..I-I beg of you, please don't..." I whimpered, placing my hands on his forearms. Ignoring me, Nate pressed his thumbs harder, making me tear up. He then threw me to the ground, and left me lying there, gasping for air.

He didn't speak to me for the rest of the day but he did make eye contact. As of me, I just stayed out of the way, avoiding him, and was mostly in my room either drawing or reading. I told myself that it's gonna be okay. But it wasn't.

Everytime I try to escape, he beats the crap out of me...it's useless...I'm useless....He will never let me go.....
