He is walking towards me slowly, in my head I know that I need to move in the next ten seconds or I'm toast .Come on gabby just move! He is five steps away from me why can’t I move, four steps away gabby just move! I can start to smell the liquor and smoke that is lingering around him in that moment I don't know what is was but I think it has something to do with the smell that is waking me up telling me that this is really real, i start to feel my legs again. In the time of me congratulating myself on the fact that I can feel my legs I notice that my dad is also close than I thought. I quickly ducked the lunged that he swung for and grabbed the door handle and ran out of the house. 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 mums old friends who ironically owns a bar/lounge area and its 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 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 as 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 all I can say his he is tall and very handsome from the back, stop it gabby! I run up to them. “Sal, it's bad this time he got angry and there was a knife and running and gun, hes on his way in please don't let him get me please" he just looked at me in shock the calmly nodded and pushed me behind him. I grabbed on the back of his shirt that’s when 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 my he was walking to us the man with amazing eyes started to shift next to me putting most of his body in front which flattered me as he doesn't know me but he is willing to protect me. Sal was the first one to speak.
