Run

His eyes sparked with rage and his nose flared as he stormed towards me.
"Don't talk to me like that you little b***h!"
His hand flew and slapped me across the cheek, leaving me with a strong stinging
sensation.
"I didn't mean to sound..."
I was cut off by another slap,this one made me stumble backwards and tears springed out of my eyes.
"Don't speak without permission!"
His breath reeked of alcohol as he
yelled in my face. I swallowed the ball forming in my throat and nodded quickly as I held my cheeks.
“You're lucky I have somewhere I need to be right now or you would have gotten more than this.” He says walking up to Stella.
"You better wake up on time tomorrow or nothing will stop you from being dealt with thoroughly." Stella said as Her fiery eyes bore into mine and I just stood still.
Raymond stumbled over to her and planted a sloppy kiss on her mouth,
"I'm going now."
He picked up his keys and left the house, leaving me and Stella alone in the living
room.
"Go start on dinner."
Her cold voice spat as she gave me one
last look and turned on her heel to her bedroom.
"Yes ma'am”
I said and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Once I was through with dinner, I went to my room and flopped down on my bed,staring at the plain whitewall as tears began flowing down my face. My cheek still hurt and I knew there would be a bruise there tomorrow; another thing that I
have to hide. I don't understand why this had to happen tome. I didn't ask for this.
They've been doing this for years and I've been too scared to even go to the police, so I decided to just wait it out until I turn eighteen in a few months. It's usually only Stella who slaps me and Raymond uses his fists, so I was surprised he didn't punch me today.I decided to do my homework to get my mind out of things and wished for a millionth time that I could get a phone, I am in desperate need of an entertainment. But Raymond says that I can't have a phone because he thinks that I might tell someone what goes on behind these closed walls. I grudgingly put on warm pyjamas and snuggled up in my bed,
not knowing what was to happen in only a few hours from now.
I was roughly pulled out of my sleep when I felt strong hands grasp my shoulders.My eyes shot open and I was about to scream
when a hand covered my mouth. I looked up and saw Thomas's lust filled eyes boring into mine. His hands tightened when he leaned down.
"Stop f*****g squirming!"
His breath smelled foul and I shifted under his weight.
"What are you doing?"
I tried yelling but it came up all mumbled.
He snickered and leaned closer,his lips began trailing across my jaw. I wriggled under him and tried to free myself as his body pressed on mine. His palm connected with my face, making me cry out.
"I said stop squirming!"
A sob escaped my mouth and I could only lay still as tears gathered in my eyes. Thomas slowly lifted his hand to move the blankets which were the only thing seperating us besides our clothes and I felt my heart race a mile per minute when he began pulling off his shirt.
"No!"
I began but, against my protests, he threw the shirt onto the ground and started on his pants. While he was distracted. I pushed myself out from under him and made a desperate dash for the door. Thomas had never tried to do anything like this to me before, he always just hit me. this is his first time trying this and I never imagined he would do something like this. I really don't know what came over him.I reached the door and was about to open it when something hit back. Apained cry left my mouth and I fell to the ground. Thomas took this as an opportunity to resume his position. I was just only in a large shirt and pyjamas short and he was only wearing
his boxers.
"Thomas p-please don't!"
I cried out but it was like he didn't even
hear me since he held my arms above my head tightly and spread
my legs with his knee.
"Don't"
I cried shaking my head. But he still continued
"Help!"
I screamed when I feel his freehand travel up my thigh and his lower half pressed down on me.
"This would be a lot easier if you just shut up and stop moving!"
He groaned out as his breath fanned across my face.I shook my head , praying this was a nightmare and I would wake up any second from now. I knew that Stella and Raymond would never help me. He planted his lower half on mine, and he slowly pulled down my shorts but then he stopped. He sounded as if he was choking
and within a minute he stopped,I could feel a thick liquid going down my chest. I pushed him off me and I realised that I am covered in blood, not only that but my-my mouth was filled with his blood. How? When I inspected Thomas carefully, his neck seemed to have snapped and I could feel the blood drooping from his neck. I brought my hand to my mouth and I could
feel something sharp.
I didn't do this!I didn't do this!Idid!
"No, no,no! Tyler wake up, don't do this to me. You see what you have caused?"
I tried to whisper as much as possible and shake his body mildly, if Raymond or Stella
were to wake up they will kill me! I checked his pulse and discovered he, he is not breathing. He's dead. I killed him. They are surely going to kill me.Panic washed over me and I did the first thing that came to mind. I fled.
I don't know what day it is or what time it is but I'm still on the run. I don't know where I am or where I'm heading off to. A part of me wanted me to go back because that's the only place I called home, but if I did I will definitely be killed especially considering what I had done. But what exactly did I do? I can't possibly have done that to Thomas right?.
So far I had taken 3 buses with the money I was able to grab before running away and they all drove me to unknown destinations. I've exhausted the cash now, Here I am stranded in a place I don't even recognize. I've been walking for hours now, I don't even think there is civilisation here at this point. Everything I've been seeing is bush, I've not come across a single house or a person. I haven't eaten ever since I fled, so now my body is starting to fail on me. My feet are wobbly, I swear I'm going to fall any moment.
"Do not take any step further!"
my vision was starting to become blurry so I couldn't even see who said those words.
All of a sudden I found my self falling down and blacking out.
