Chapter 2
578 Words
I was halfway down the road when I hear a loud bang of someone's front door I know that it has to be mine and this terrifies me, every time that I usually run away he never chases me he just waits until I get home then punishes me. I hear his truck trying to start up; I know that I have to find someone or somewhere to hide. I know! I'll go to Sal's.
Sal is one of my mum's old friends who ironically owns a bar/lounge area that my dad makes daily commutes to and it's only a couple of blocks away. Now that I know the plan on where I was going I started to sprint there. I know I'm not the most athletic girl but I can run if I have too and I am pretty sure this is a time that I have to . Nearly there I can just about see the neon lights saying "Sal's" but it wasn't enough I can hear dads truck coming too close for comfort so I quickly looked back at him I can see the object that makes all of this ten times more terrifying. I was hoping he forgot where it was or that he was too drunk to even think of it but that's not the case. He has it gripped in one hand while the other holds onto the wheel.
It was Granddads gun I'm not talking a tiny pistol. I'm talking about a big one.
I'm nearly there I quickly got to the door and ran it panting. I scan around the area hoping to find Sal and I do he was talking to some guy I can't see him that well but Sal is a very friendly man he can talk to anyone if they are willing to listen. I ran up them two and grip Sal's arm.
"Sal, it's bad this time he got angry and there was a knife and running and gun, he's on his way in please don't let him get me please" he just looked at me in shock for a couple of seconds then calmly nodded and pushed me behind him.
I grabbed on the back of Sal's shirt that's when I looked to the left of me and I saw him, the man that was talking to Sal before I interrupted their convocation, he has brown hair and the most amazing light brown eyes that you could just look at for the rest of your life. He noticed that I was looking at him and gave me a weak smile and I tried to give one back but it was very hard at the moment.
Sal interrupted are awkward moment by saying"he's here" my heart started beating so hard I was nervous that Sal could hear it, I started to panic as I heard the door bang as dad opened it. He started looking around trying to spot us and when he found us his eyes locked onto me like a predator to its prey. I froze again for the second time today.He slowly started to walk toward us, whilst he was walking to us the man with amazing eyes started to shift next to me putting most of his body in front of me so there was tiny gap between Sal and the man's arms where I can still see my dad furious and blotchy face. Sal was the first one to speak
