Saving The Broken

Chapter 7

I sat there, I couldn't hear anything do to the wind. It smelled like it was gonna rain again, just great. I didn't want to be up here when it rained, it would ruin my clothes. I looked down at where the cars are parked and see two people walking towards them, two blonde girls. I suddenly snapped to where my window is and heard someone shouting out it. I couldn't see who it was because of the roof part over it

"There's definitely been a girl here, I just don't know where she is" he yelled at the two girls who turned to him.

I gasped and quickly grabbed the house as I almost fell off. I was screwed now. The girls looked up at me and shocked glances went my way, I knew who they were. Ashley and Mesa the two new girls from school, the only question running through my head now was

'why were they here?'

They looked at each other before back to me and then back to whoever was in my window

"What are you looking at?" He shouted at the girls

"There's a girl on the roof above you" Ashley yelled pointing at me

"What?" I watched him climb out more and looking up at me "Who are you?" He asked confused

Without thinking I turned and slid off the other side of the roof towards my parents bedroom window, I ended up dropping my only weapon. I stopped and watched it fall off the roof onto the ground below. I quickly lowered myself towards the window, Lisa always left their window open.

I climbed quickly inside as I heard shouts for me to stop. I was either going to surrender and die or try to get away and maybe die. There was no way I was gonna make it out of here alive, no chance. I quickly made my way to the door and hid behind it. I pressed myself against the walls and pulled my hood up, there was no way the girls could know who I am. I always had my hoodie up and never showed my face at school. I heard shouting throughout the house, they were probably -most likely- looking for me.

Soon I heard a set of foot steps stop outside my parents bedroom door. I held my breath trying not to be heard, I don't really think there was a way out of this. I was screwed from the beginning. Why do things like this always happen to me? What'd I ever do to god to have a life like this? I just had to think of something, I try my hardest to hear the voices on the other side of the door as they are kinda hushed

"She saw me and just slid off the other side of the house"

"She took off?"

"Yes. I think she may have gone into this room, there's a window leading into it"

"Alright, let's go in" the door handle started to slowly twist and then was pushed open

I sucked in a breath and watched them point guns into the room, they had guns! They walked in and towards the window not looking back at the door. I took this as my chance to slip out the door and down the hall. I look back and see nothing and then down the stairs, I descend slowly and keep my ears open for any noise. I poke my head around the corner and freeze

I see my Lisa and Jim tied to chairs in the living room, blood is coming from Jim's left leg. They had gags in their mouths and I just wanted to laugh, karmas a bitch. I looked around more before seeing no one and booking it for the kitchen. In the laundry room there was a back door I could leave through, it led into the field and forest behind the house. I look to see Lisa and Jim, they had seen me and were making noises

"Shut up" growled someone walking down from the stairs

I made a mad dash to the laundry room and throw open the back door. I rushed out and stumbled a bit on the last step almost falling on my face. Making a dashed towards the open field. I suddenly heard shouting and a gun go off, but I didn't stop, I couldn't. This is turning into the worse Friday I've ever had and I've had some bad Saturdays. I stop and look back, stupid move on my part. I say someone pointing a gun at me and pull the trigger, I felt a sharp in my left shoulder. I stumble back hitting the ground
