Her saving Grace novel Chapter 13

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

WARNING: Abusive content!

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.

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.
