Save Me

1 The Escape

Flashback
POV Amanda (the girl)
I got tied up to the kitchen. I saw my mum looking with fear in her eyes. Then I heard 2 gun shots. My mum was lying on the floor with blood surrounding her. My dad shot her 2 times in the chest. I cried and cried and I couldn't stop. I never expected in a million years that my dad would be a killer. I don't understand why he killed my mum.

POV Amanda (the girl)
That's when also the abuse started. I still think about my mom everyday. I miss her so much. I still don't understand till this day why my dad killed my mum.

Suddenly my thoughts got interrupted by footsteps. And I know exactly what's gonna happen now. My dad comes in the room. He starts to hit me with his belt and I start to scream that he has to stop and my eyes are filling with tears. Then he starts taking of my clothes when a smirk appears on his face. Then he starts touching me on my chest and down there. I cry and tell him to stop but he won't. Then I feel him inside me and it hurts so bad. When he's done he goes back downstairs. I put on some new clothes while I'm still in tears and shocked about what just happened.

It's 11 o'clock in the evening when I look at my phone. My dad bought one for me just to stalk me and check where I am. It's half an hour after he raped me. I want to escape but I'm scared that he will kill me. I tried once to escape but he caught me and beat me till I passed out. And after that threatened me to kill me if I try to escape.

When I hear a sound coming from downstairs I decided to check where the sound is coming from. I walk a few steps down to see that my dad is snoring and asleep on the couch while beer bottles are surrounding him. And I know that now is the right time to escape. I'm still scared to do it but I know i have to try again if I ever want to be free again.

But when I am about to climb out of my window down the vines that are growing on the wall at the side of my house, with my backpack with clothes and other supplies, I realize that I have no clue where to go so I just decided to go to the park where I use to sit on a bench before I go to school. As soon as I landed on the ground I quickly turn of my location of my phone so he can't track me. And then I ran out my street and I kept running until I couldn't run anymore.

When I got to the park I found a bench to sit on and rest cause I was pretty tired. I then laid down on the couch and put my head on my backpack so I could sleep. But after 10 minutes crying a bit and remembering memories of my mum, I cried myself to sleep. After falling asleep I suddenly felt someone shaking my shoulder. I got scared and started to breath heavily and hoping it wasn't my dad whose hand touched my shoulder.
