He is my Light

Chapter 2.

Cassie's POV

We sat down at the dining table. Mom put a plate of food in front of me and I just looked at it. Then I looked at her and she gave me that "Your going to do as I say and eat." look. I finally gave in and ate tiny bites, we talked like old times. Once we finished eating, I did the dishes then sat on the couch. My mom sat beside me with her head in her hands. 

"I have to go to bed mom" I gave her a hug and a kiss then went upstairs to my room. I sat on the bed and layed down. Once my head hit the pillow, I was out.

*Time Skip to morning*

I go down stairs to see my mom already down there. I get an apple and we sit at the dining table. When I finish my apple, I throw it away and walk to the door. 

"Bye mom, I'm heading to school" I pull the door open but it suddenly closed. I turned around to see my mom with her hands on her hips.

"I told if your story was bad enough than I'll do anything to help, and this starts with unenrolling you out of that awful school." My mother said. I knew there was nothing I could do so I rolled with it. 

"Ok" I said happy. I really didn't wanna go to school anyways.

*Time skip a month*

It's been a little over a month and things are going great. I've been taken out of school and me and my mom's relationship is better that ever. Everything was just, perfect. That's what I wanted to believe anyway. Everyone at school found out that I got taken out to make my life and theirs easier. 

One night I was just sitting on my bed playing music when there was a tap on the window. Mom passed out a long time ago so no one was up except me. I thought it was just an acorn that fell from the tree above my window, but then I started hearing another tap, then another. They were just continuous. I got up and walked to my window and pulled the curtains open and looked down, there was nothing. Then being the stupid teenager I am, I opened my window and looked out only to see a ladder against the side of the house under my window. 

"Boo!" Someone yelled. I screamed and backed up into my room. Now here I am standing in the middle of my room with my hands covering my eyes. I uncover my eyes to see Tray standing in front of me, arms crossed with a smirk on his face.

"Tray, please go away. Don't do anything dumb." I said. Trying my best to be calm, I started taking slow step to the door when I was suddenly lifted of the ground and pushed into a wall. I winced one my back hit the wall.

"I'm not doing anything wrong sweetheart, I'm just taking back what's trying to get away from me." I heard his sickening voice say. I brought my foot up and kicked him where the sun don't shine and ran to my mom's room.

"You son of a bitch." I heard him call while slowly running after me. Once k got in, I quickly she the door a called her name.

"Mom." I said. She didn't move. "MOM!" I scream. This time she jumped up and searched her room for intruders. Then when her eyes spotted me, she looked utterly confused.

"What sweetheart?" She said softly.

"He's here mom. That football player is here." I said, my voice uneven. She jumped out of bed and grabbed a bat under her pillow. Don't ask me why it's there, Even I don't know. 

"Call 911, NOW." She said and pushed me into the closet. She got into the closet too after she locked the door. I grabbed my phone and called 911.

"911, What's your emergency?" I heard.

"Hi-"
