The Runaway Bride

Just like that, my life was given away. I made the ultimate sacrifice because I knew this was it, and I could no longer be stuck in this marriage anymore.  I couldn't remember the last time I felt happy. All the light in my eyes disappeared when I married this awful man 3-years ago. I can still remember when my father told me I had no choice while I cried, begging him not to let me do this.  "Please, you can't make me do this," my voice trembled, my throat burning.  "I can't do anything, Anna. I'm begging you, please do this for our family," he said. "You will, safe us," he begged.  "Dad, I'm young, I can't do this. You know I don't get along with him," I told him.  "This will enable safe us, and your worried because you don't get along with the boy," He exclaimed. "We need you to do this, please," his eyes in tears.  I have never seen my father this way. The man that loved me endlessly and lived his whole life for me is asking, and how could I do this to him.  -  Though this was never my choice, I knew I couldn't let this unborn child live the world I lived, trying to survive this miserable, boring life.  I needed to leave. I had to get out of here right now.  My so-called husband wouldn't come home any time soon, either, so; this was the perfect time to leave and get out of here.  And so, I began. I packed all the things I need, and I left.  "where are you going?" Aria Hall, my sister in law and the only person that made me feel like I'm part of the family.  "I have to go," I managed to say, still the panic in my voice.  "where?" she asked, confused, plastered her delicate face.  "I don't know, Aria, but I need to go, and I needed to leave right now," I told her.  She came to stand directly in front of me, grabbing my hands on her own.  "You can't go; I know my brother is not the best; you can't leave. You're the only hope we have,"  "you don't understand, Aria," I said. "I'm pregnant,"
