What About Angels? (Demi Lovato Adoption COMPLETE)

III

 Alexa's POV

Nothing happened all day. I waited and waited and waited for someone to come down. I was so nervous. My stomach was constantly grumbling. I liked Demi's place. She fed me, she took care of me. Even though it was less than 24 hours, I knew her place was better than the one I'm at now. Then I heard my door unlock. Mike came in, and I backed up until I hit the wall, then still tried to get further. "Why can't you just do what you're told?" He asks. My heart starts beating faster and faster. He grabs me and holds me up on the wall by my shoulders. He gets in close to my face. "When will you learn?" I don't say anything, of course. He drops me and my body hits down on the floor. "No wonder your parents didn't want you," he sneered. He slips his belt out of his pants and holds it by the edge. I crouch into a ball on the ground. I try to make my thoughts be louder than what he was doing, but it wasn't working.

Slash.

I want Demi.

Slash.

I want Demi.

Slash.

I want Demi!

I thought that over and over again as he continued to hit me with his belt. He could only hit my side, as I was still curled up on the ground. Next thing I know, I feel a kick. I look up to see Mike standing tall right in front of me. "Get up," he says as he reaches down to grab me. I flinch, pulling my arm back from him, but he still grabs me, making me stand to my feet. He starts to take my clothes off, leaving me in just my underwear. I could feel myself start to shake in fear. He brings his belt up and starts hitting me again. Anyway I moved, he could still hit me. "Stand up!" He kept yelling every time I went back down on the ground. I forced myself to stand, not wanting anything worse. I couldn't help the screams that came out of my mouth. I never said a word, only screams and cries. After a while, I couldn't keep myself standing anymore. I slumped down to the ground. I guess he figured that he had done enough, so he left. I sat on the cold ground sobbing and shaking. Then I remembered that I didn't hear the door lock. And they say I'm stupid? They forget to lock my door just about every time. I slowly got up and tip-toed to the door. My body ached, and I could hardly walk, but I was so desperate. I put my ear up to the door and listened for any kind of movement. There was none. I slowly opened the door and peaked my head outside my room. It was dark, and I knew everyone had gone to bed. I stepped out and headed towards the front door. I opened it, then ran outside, body still in pain. I was leaving again, but this time, I knew exactly where I was going.
