Stepbrother - Bellarke fanfic

Chapter 3

~ E S C A P E ~

I woke up, hurting from everywhere. Bruises all over my weak and cold body. Blood coming out of my wrists and ankles and my face was beat up pretty bad. As soon as I realized Finn was gone, I got out of the bed, and got dressed. He had untied me after I lost consciousness saying I had been excused and forgiven for my behavior. I took my phone only to realize he smashed it in two yesterday, probably while I was not conscious. Then I looked around for my keys, I couldn't find them. At least I had been smart enough to bring a double in my suitcase and he had been dumb enough to not check my suitcase. I had everything and I was ready to leave when I realized he had locked me in. I couldn't open the door from inside, the psycho locked me and I couldn't escape. I had to find a way to get out of here, maybe now was my only opportunity, maybe later it would be too late. I looked around for something sharp enough to break a window. I was at the 3rd level but I could walk on the side edge until I got to the back stairs. I saw my Jeep still in the parking lot. I took the rope decorated with my blood from yesterday. The one he had used to tie me down. I got his PlayStation, and started hitting on the window with the corner of the solid box. The window broke after a few tries, thankfully this was an old building and they needed some renovations. I tied the rope to the door handle just in front of the window. With the chain he had put on the other side of the door to lock me inside, I thought it was the closest thing to the window that I trusted a bit. I was not surprised to see that the rope wasn't long enough to help me out completely, but I wouldn't die from a chute like this. But again there was a little roof over an extended room down. If I could get to this roof I could walk to the back stairs and leave without hurting myself more. I got down the rope, scared as hell, Thank my mom for paying me ninja classes when I was a kid, I knew how to get down a rope and I was surprisingly pretty good. I was at the end of the rope, and I had about 3 feet of air to the little roof. All I could do at this point was hope and pray that the roof would hold and be solid. I let go of the rope and I closed my eyes as my feet touched the roof. I had made it. Then I carefully walked on the roof to hop over the barricade of the stairs and run down to the ground. I had no time to waste, I had no idea where Finn was and when he was coming back. I ran over to my Jeep and unlocked it. I jumped in and started feeling very anxious. I felt like someone was following me but I was just being paranoid. I had left all my clothes at Finn's apartment. I felt dirty, weak. I couldn't go home like this. Not since we were 5 living at home. So without hesitation, I got to Raven's.

She opened the door, uninterested, still on her phone. When she saw me, she started crying, she took me in a tight hug that was very painful for me. I groaned and she released her hold. She took my hand and she brought me into her room. Avoiding her sibling and her parents.

"Clarke oh my god what the hell happened to you." I started crying. I couldn't stop the tears now. I tried to talk but no words could get out.

"Finn, he was drunk and angry." She wanted to call the police but I did not. I didn't want to be seen as the victim and honestly I was scared what he would do after he threatened to kill me if I told someone. By telling Raven, I was putting her at risk, she could die because of me. So I left out a lot of details. Like a lot. She knew I wasn't telling her everything, but she didn't want to push me into doing something I wasn't ready for. If only she had known that it was also because I wanted to protect her from my crazy ex.

I took a hot long shower, which had a lot of benefits. The beer stink was gone and most of the blood had washed up. Looking at myself all cleaned up in the mirror of Raven's bathroom, I couldn't help but think I brought this on myself. I knew he was aggressive, I knew he was drunk and I still stayed with him. I could have gone home the second he told me to get his beers but I still believed there was something in him. I still believed the boy I met and fell in love with 3 months and a half ago was still somewhere in there. I thought it was just a phase, that he would eventually calm down but I still decided to go pass the week at his place with him. I was stupid, maybe I didn't give myself those bruises, but I definitely did bring this on myself. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I wish I could have gone to my mother. But I couldn't, not looking like this, not being like this and not with everyone at home. She must be worried sick since Finn broke my phone, I couldn't answer to anybody. That night I didn't close an eye the whole night. I was scared, scared he'd come back for me as soon as he realizes I'm not there anymore. And I couldn't sleep until I knew I was safe. So I stayed up, crying, crying and crying. Thinking about how I could have done things differently. If only I could have picked up a pack of cold beers at the store, maybe I could have avoided all this. Maybe I wouldn't be scared for my life at the moment.

The next day, I spent time in Raven's room. She gave me some clothes and as I was dressing up, my heart dropped at what Raven was saying. She had gotten a call, I didn't know who it was until she held the phone in front of my face telling me it's for me. I felt the tears coming, I couldn't stop them. I couldn't talk to my mother about what happened.

"Mom?" I asked, already crying.

"Clarke honey WHAT IS GOING ON? Raven doesn't want to talk and I'm worried sick about you. I'm coming to pick you up okay?"

"Please don't I'm fine." It didn't sound like I was fine. I was crying, I couldn't stop myself.

"Clarke you are not fine, please wait I'm coming right now, I love you honey." She was really worried and concerned about me.

"I love you too. Please come alone." She agreed and then hung up telling me to be ready in 10 minutes.

I heard the car honking. I couldn't go outside looking like that, I didn't even have time to cover up my bruises and injuries with makeup. But my mom was getting impatient and I did not want Raven's family to see me as well. So I pulled my hoodie on and covered most of my face and opened the front door.

Ok so this chapter was pretty long and difficult to write. I usually speak French so I'm sorry for my bad English.

But anyways, this chapter Clarke was pretty clever, very smart. She managed to escape, what will happen when her mother sees her?
