Broken

Running away.

J woke up with a start hearing the neighbor's yelling at each other...again. She groaned and slowly got up. Thank fuck she was able to take a few weeks off from school. She sighed heavily and curled up with her stuffed animals. Then remembered what happened last night, making her jump out of bed. "AHH!!! He knows where I live!" She said starting to panic. She looked around seeing her room in normal shape. Then racing to the kitchen hoping that was only a dream. She looked down at the thrown kettle that had water soaking into the carpet. "Shit!" She cursed and rushed to clean it up. Once she finished and put the kettle up, she started to pace hoping to calm her nerves even the slightest bit. She sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of her nose as she tried to put the pieces together. "Ok ok...she knows where I live...great. Fucking awesome. Do I call the police? Do I go back to Nana's house? No. I don't want her to get involved with this shit. I got her too involved already..." She told herself. Just then, there was a knock on the door. She immediately froze. "Who is it?" She called. "It's Luc." A male voice called. J blinked a few times confused. "Luc?" She asked then unlocked the door. She opened it to see her friend from school, Lucifer, She sighed heavily. "Luc! Thank gods!" She said then looked behind him. No one. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him into the apartment and locked the door. Luc stumbled in almost falling due to her force. He caught himself by holding onto the counter nearby. He looked over to her, letting his black hair stay in his face. "What the hell J?" He asked fixing his black t shirt. "You almost threw me down!." he said popping his knuckles. "Sorry dude, But I'm kinda freaking out." she whispered. He tilted his head. "What? Why?" he asked. J looked up to his face, his 6'7 tall face and sighed. "He...he found me..." She whispered. Luc seemed even more confused. "What? Who did?" he asked. "The guy that kidnapped me...and killed those girls..." she said rubbing her arm. Luc instantly froze. "Really? How do you know?" H asked getting serious. "He came to me last night and tried to kill me again. Before doing some other shit that I don't really remember." She said with a sigh. Luc moved his weight to his left leg. "What are you going to do about it..?" He asked putting his hands in his pockets and looking away from her to the screen porch. "I can't really do anything about it...The police probably won't do much. Plus, he said not to call them." She said leaning on the door and rubbing her forehead trying to calm her nerves down. Luc sighed. "Maybe you should stay with me. I know we aren't the best of friends and shit, but this is fucked up." He said calmly. J raised an eyebrow. Staying at a guys house that she met on the first day of school? That's super sketchy. But she would rather go somewhere that man can't find her. She sighed. "OK. Fine. If you got weed there then I'm good." She joked. Luc chuckled slightly. "Yeah, I got some. But no smoking it all. That's my weekly batch." He said then leaning on the kitchen counter. "Oh and, don't touch my comic books. I'll feed you to that thing myself if you do!" He said as a joke. But I wasn't too sure. She gave a nervous laugh and walked into her room. She poked her head in first just in case he got in somehow. He wasn't there. She sighed in relief and Started to pack. She took out her black and grey duffle bag from her closet and looked inside. An older stuffed animal of a wolf lay inside. Its grey fur was mangled and dirty with dirt and water spots. She smiled to herself and hugged the wolf like it was a long lost child of hers. She put it back in and quickly put some clothes, cables, and work supplies.  She sighed and stood up from her bed and took a look around. He may come back...but if he does, then he won't find her, or will be able to get in. She nodded to herself and started turning off all the lights and unplugging stuff. Luc was there just waiting for her to get ready. Once she was done, she opened the door for him dangling her keys. "Come on. I want to get out of here before he can get back..." She said quietly. Luc nodded and walked out to his car and jumped in with J.
