Beatrice pov
"Get out of bed." I hear him say
I slowly climb out of my bed. I place my hands against the wall. I close my eyes for I know what is about to happen. Nothing occurs and for a second I think he actually isn't going to do anything. I was wrong.

As I open my eyes, the belt slaps across my back. I bite on my cheek to keep from screaming. He just keeps hitting my back repeatedly. Something warm runs down my back and that could only be one thing, blood. The blood will stain this shirt.

"Now I'm going to be gone for a week so don't get any ideas." He smiles
Then the smile vanishes as quickly as it came and he slaps me across my face. I fall to the ground. He kicks me a few times in my side and leaves. I lay there tears streaming down my face onto the carpet. I'm running away with Caleb. I can't do this anymore.

I finally decide to stand up and Caleb is in my door way. I didn't even hear him open the door.

"Beatrice, are you okay?" He says.

"I'm fine, are you okay?" I whisper

"You don't have to whisper, he left."
Caleb smiles

"Caleb what's going to happen to us." I say worriedly.

"I talked to mother today and she had the same idea." Caleb says

"So we are running away?" I ask

"Yes." He smiles

"Um I have to go talk to someone." I say

"Please hurry, you have to pack your
things.""Were trying to leave as soon as possible." Caleb says

I nod. I can't leave Tobias like this. I walk downstairs and run out of the door.
