Her saving Grace

Chapter 13

I didn’t sleep though. I kept my eyes peeled on the door, because I didn’t know if he intended to come

back

I woke up the following morning with a stiff neck. I had slept in one position last night as I was watching

the door. I didn’t even know when I fell asleep.

I got out of bed and took a quick shower. I was afraid to leave my room, so I decided to stay in. Now

and then I would hear Allan downstairs or walking up or down the stairs. I knew he would not go

anywhere as today was Sunday,

For the entire day, I stayed in my room and before I knew it night came and I went to sleep. In the

morning, I got ready for school and pulled my bedroom door open. I knew that Allan was here, because

I didn’t hear his car drive out.

I was hoping that I could sneak out without him seeing me. I normally waited until he leaves, but he

was taking longer than normal to leave and I didn’t want to be late for school.

I didn’t hear any noise downstairs, do I took my chance. I slipped through the door and dashed for the

stairs. As soon as I reached the stairs, I saw Allan stepped from the nearby room out into the hallway.

Before I could react, he moved behind me in one quick movement and shoved me. I lost my footing

and went tumbling down the stairs.

As I reach the bottom, I felt my entire body erupt in pain. I tried to stand up quickly, but it was useless.

My head was spinning from the intensity and distance of my fall. Within seconds, Allan was down the

stairs and beside me.

“You think that you were going to get away from me, huh?” He asked menacingly. He used his foot to

kick me in my stomach as I tried once again to stand up. I fell back on my back and he placed his foot

on my stomach pinning me down. “Next time you should watch what you say to me!” He replied,

pressing his heel down hard into my stomach.

I grimaced in pain and tried to shove him off, but it was no use. He was way stronger than me. “Allan,

please.” I begged. “Please stop.” I coughed.

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear your voice!” He shouted. He then removed his foot from my stomach and

bend down to pull me up by my hair. “If you ever think about talking to me like that again, I will do worse NôvelDrama.Org © content.

things to you. Do you hear me?” I tried to nod my head, but it was difficult, because he still held my hair

tightly. Tears ran down my cheeks because of the pain I was experiencing.

I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were cold and dangerous looking. He didn’t feel any remorse

for what he was doing to me. None at all.

He then shoved me hard again and I went crashing into the coffee table, knocking over the flower vase

that was on top of it. It shatter into pieces as it hit the floor. I didn’t know if Allan was going to come for

me, so ignoring the pain that ran through my entire body, I got up and limped to the front door.

When I was outside, I tried to move as quickly as I could away from Allan. Away from that monster.

Away from anymore beating. There was no point in going to school anymore and I was in too much

pain to go anyway. I decided to go to the nearby park, where I could be alone. Most people would be at

work or at school now, so it would be empty.

As soon as I reached the park, I sat on a bench. All of the emotions came down on me and I started to

cry. I saw a few people in the park, walking with their baby or their dogs, but they were on the other

side, so they wouldn’t see me.

I put my feet up on the bench and wrapped my arms around my knees. I rest my head between my

knees and cried harder. I let out all the pent up emotions that I had all these years. I cried for my father

who had died when I was just ten. I cried for my mother who died when I was fifteen and I cried for all

the pain and agony Allan had caused me since then.

I don’t know how much more of his abuse I could take. Physically, emotionally and mentally.

Sometimes I wish I could just run away, but where would I go? I had no money and I have no relatives.

Not that I know of anyways. The only relatives I’ve ever heard about were my grandparents and they

died when I was a baby. I sighed. I knew if I told anyone, Allan would be enraged and punish me. I

don’t even want to think about what he would do to me.

I lifted my head from my knees and wiped my eyes. I then looked out in front of me, when I saw a

person walking towards me. I saw that it was Carson and sighed. What was he doing here? Shouldn’t

he be

in school? As soon as I asked myself that question, I berated myself. Why do I even ask that question?

This is Carson Knight after all. The bad boy who was notorious for skipping school and getting into

trouble.

Either way, I didn’t want to see him. I wanted to be alone and I knew he was going to ask questions that

I don’t want to answer. I tried wiping at my eyes again. He finally reached me and I turn my face from

him.

“I knew it was you I saw from way over there. I can’t believe it; Ms. Perfect skipping school. You’re

turning into a rebel.” I heard him say.
