Chapter 4

The door bell rang so I went to open the door and saw two police officers.

"Miss Y/n?" I nodded slowly, still fazed from everything that was happening.

"We need to inspect the place, so can you step aside please?" I did so, and they went checking everything for a good 5 minutes or so before coming over to me.

"Do you have any ideas why your stepfather suddenly turned himself in?"

Then I remembered something.

"...How did this happen?"

"Who did it?" he asked and I looked away but he grabbed my chin again making me look at him.

"Tell. Me."

"Was it a one time thing? Or is he abusive?"

"What's your name?"

"Where do you live?"

No way... it wouldn't be-

"Miss Y/n?" I looked a up at them as they stared at me, and I shook my head.

"Sorry, I'm still shocked from everything that's happening..." "That's understandable... now, you have to make a decision. You're not underage so you could start to live on your own but we can always get a close guardian to look after you."

Close guardians... there are none. My stepfather's friends maybe? No, they'll hate me.

"I'll live on my own..." "Ok, we'll provide you with some money as we know you've been through a lot. Is there anything else you need?" "No I'm ok..." "Ok, come with us then."

-

I walked into the empty house, sighing as I looked around with two large bags in my hands with my belongings.

I know I've always wanted to be free... but this feels weird.

I went upstairs to the bedroom, which was on the same floor as the place was an apartment, and put down my bags before plopping onto the bed and falling asleep straight away.

-

I woke up, feeling dead.

I felt so empty, so... lonely?

Ptff... what's wrong with me? I should be happy.

I got up, getting some clothes from one of the bags and getting ready.

I then organised everything and sorted out the house, and then went out to go grocery shopping.

When I was nearly there someone grabbed onto my arm and I widened my eyes trying to pull my arm free, but whoever it was they pulled me with them and we ended up in an empty alleyway.

They let me go harshly and I stumbled back hitting the wall. I snapped my head up and saw someone unfamiliar.

"Did you make your stepfather turn himself in?" "W... what?" "Was it you? Or who was it?" "I... I don't know-" They grabbed my neck, choking me.

"Tell me. Now." "I... I really... d...don't know..." I managed to choke out. The guy sighed before tightening his grip on my neck and my eyes teared up, trying to get free but it made no difference.

My eyes closed slowly, and a few seconds later everything went black.
