Get Out Now!
921 Words
I finally managed to calm myself down before I hit the front door. I sigh and reach for the doorknob. Then instantly my head started to throb again and it was like something was telling me to run, then a wave of lust and malicious intent washed over me. It made my stomach turn and bile come up in my throat. I opened the door and said "Hello, Hello". Of course, no one was there, but it felt like it. I made my way upstairs. I needed a hot shower to wash off the day I had. I hoped my head would stop hurting. I go to my room and grab my things for the shower. I get into the bathroom and get in the shower. I let the jets wash away all that I was feeling. I get out when there is no more hot water left, my headache has calmed down a bit, which I was grateful for. I gathered my things and headed to my room. As I was putting things away, I remembered how worried Capri was and decided to call her back and let her know I was okay.
I went to look for my phone and couldn't find it anywhere. I must have left it on the bathroom sink. I made my way across the hall and grabbed my phone, as I turned to walk back out of the bathroom I was stopped by something hard. It was my foster father Ron. "Hey beautiful how are you feeling" as a sly smile spread across his face. " I'm, fine. Thank you" as I took a step back. He moves forward a bit and instantly I'm hit with the feeling of lust and possession but stronger than before. At that moment, I knew I had to get away from him and fast. "I'm I'm fine" and I move to go around him, but then he grabs me by my arm and turns me around. "Where do you think you going beautiful" At that moment I knew I was in trouble. "Please let me go, I won't say anything," I tell Ron as I try to get out of his grip, but he's too strong. "Take your clothes off now," he whispers in my ear. I try to get out of his hold but it's no use. "I won't say it again Maya, take them off," he says with a malicious grin. "Please don't, I'll just leave and I won't ever come back." as tears come down. "I said take your f*****g clothes off!" he hits me so hard I fall and instantly see stars.
At that moment, I had enough of being quiet and not fighting for myself anymore. The crazy thing was it was like someone was fueling my anger. That's when I turned and kicked Ron so hard in the balls he fell like a sack of potatoes. I moved to get up and he grabbed me by my ankle, causing me to trip. " You stupid little bitch." I turned and I GROWLED at him. Instantly, Ron's eyes got so wide they looked like they would pop out his head "What the f**k". That's when I kicked him so hard in his nose. I heard something break and blood gushed out, and then he was out like a light. "Did I just growl?" I said to myself. As I looked around, I noticed the situation I was in. "Oh my GOD!!, Oh My GOD," I said repeatedly, I need to get out of here. I quickly get up and go to the closest to get my things. I stopped unpacking my bag when I was moving from place to place. It sucked to have to pack it all again, it was just a reminder that no place was home. I grabbed my bag and then lifted the floorboard from the back of the closet, I took out an envelope which had a little over two-thousand dollars.
I put the money in my bag and got up. Ron was still passed out on the floor. How hard did I hit him? I got my phone off the floor and ran down the stairs and out the door. I kept running till I couldn’t breathe. I walked to a nearby park and sat on a bench. When I caught my breath, I began to cry so hard it shook my very core. My phone started ringing and it was Capri’s name flashing across the screen. “Hey Maya!” she says excitedly. “Capri, I’m in trouble…. I…. I.” I was sobbing so much I couldn't talk. “Maya, where are you I’m coming to get you.” I calm down enough to tell her “I’m in the park behind Rebecca M. Johnson.” I said while sniffling. “I’ll be there in ten minutes, stay right there.” Then she ended the call. Less than ten minutes, Capri pulls up and jumps out and I run and hug her so hard as tears flood my eyes like a broken dam. "I got you, Maya, I promise everything will be okay" as she wipes my tears away. "Come on let's go home." We get in the car and drive away "So I talked to my parents and they agreed to let you stay until we can help you figure out what to do, don't worry I got you." Capri grabs my hand and squeezes "And I got you always." as tears fall again.
