My newest idea, feedback would be great
So here I am after hours of walking around aimlessly and I still don't seem to be any further away from my front door. I don't know maybe it's because I didn't know where to go, or maybe it's because the person I left in side was dragging me back in like some kind of magnet.
I had no idea why I went back inside the house but I couldn't seem to stop myself, partly because I was curious and partly because I felt guilty.
I don't know what I expected to happen when I walked through the door, but I did know that my Dad was still in exactly the same place I had left him, and I could still hear my brother screaming in his crib upstairs. My first instinct was to go to him, but I was having trouble with this because that would mean climbing over my dad to get to him.
Dad hadn't moved an inch since I walked out of the door, he was still unconscious and his head was still bleeding…and my brother was still crying. It was like the house must have frozen the minute I walked out of the door and started again when I came back.
"It's ok…..I'm here" I called up the stairs; I guess I knew that this wouldn't settle him but right now I was clutching at straws. Who could I call what could I do? I had already tried waking my dad but he didn't respond I could hardly go to my neighbours and ask for help. Most of them would be glad he was dead…no wait I can't say that…My dad his NOT dead, he just hit his head hard "Yes Leo I know I'm coming" I yelled again.
I took a deep breath and looked down at my dad; he wouldn't know if I had just climbed over him would he? Leo's screams were getting louder I had no choice. I lifted my leg and put my foot on the first step, it was really shaky as I used my arm to pull me up, so I was now fully on the first step. I walked really slowly up the stairs and straight into my brother's room, I couldn't bear to look down the stairs again.
"Shh it's ok Leo" I said as I picked Leo up out of his crib "Maci's here" I whispered as I handed him is blue fleece blanket to snuggle into, he had dropped it on the floor, and that was why he was screaming. Relief filled my heart, thank god he wasn't crying because of what had happened. I reached for his dummy which was on the side and accidentally knocked the phone off the hook, the loud buzzing sound interrupted my thoughts. I took a deep breath and dialled a number.
After making the call I was shocked, I had no idea what had made me call him, we hadn't spoken in weeks but I had no choice, he was the only one I could think of who would be able to help me.
The ten minutes I was waiting for him to arrive seemed like hours, even though I was expecting some one to come I still jumped at the sound of someone knocking at the door "Maci it's me" the voice echoed around the house.
I carried Leo slowly down the stairs and answered the door "Come in" I said as I let him in and closed the door quickly.
"Shit Maci what the hell happened?" he gasped when he saw my dad. I couldn't speak it was like something was blocking my throat, he didn't say anything else he just wrapped his arms around me and Leo tightly "It'll be ok" he whispered.
As I felt his arms holding me it was then the reality had hit me, the whole situation was a mess and here I was dragging my oldest friend into it "I'm sorry I shouldn't have called you" I finally managed, I could feel him shaking his head.
"Nah Maci its fine, I'm glad you did call" he sighed as he looked down at my dad's lifeless body "But I think maybe we should call Brax or Heath though, at least they'll know what to do"
Ok please let me know what you think, shall I carry on with this or not. Reviews would be appreciated x x
I will go into more detail about Maci and what happened in my next chapter.
