Hurting. {Richie Tozier x Reader}

Chapter 1 ♡︎

I ran upstairs and scrambled into my closet closing the door behind me,

I lay down bunched up in the corner as I piled clothes ontop of me,

covering my mouth to quiet my heavy breathing

I heard my dads footsteps trail up the stairs and into the hallway.

I could feel cold sweat on my back as my dad barged into my room and began looking around,

"Y/n I KNOW YOUR IN HERE!"

I began shaking aggressively and suddenly small light slit through the cupboard door as my dad opened it.

I could smell the beer and cigarettes, thats it.. he found me. I thought preparing for the beating

but then something unexpected happened,

he closed the door again and walked out of my room and continuing to check elsewhere.

Had he not seen me?

I felt a wave of relief wash over me and I quietly moved into a more comfortable position still unable to be seen.

-Time skip-

Around 30mins later l heard the front door slam,

I got up and tip-toed over to the window pulling them apart slightly.

I watched as my dad got into his car and drove off,

he was probably going to the store to get more beer.

This was my chance,

I grabbed my bag which I had learned to pack the night before and grabbed my bike from the garage.

I got on and rode down the street and towards my school,

Today was going to be another shitty day.
