Her back was to the tree she was running from Jason McCann,America's most wanted criminal for months she's been trapped by him, tortured and abused by him even though he told her he loved her but she never could return those feelings
"Megan stop running" she could tell he was gaining on her as her breathing became irregular after a whole year she had found a way out as turned around only to be met with dark black eyes instead of his gentle mocha coloured ones.
"I got you" was all he said till bang! A gun shot was sounded off as Megan closed her eyes while the smoke from the gun went up to her eyes as she slowly opened her eyes to see Jason on the ground bleeding as the gun slowly fell from her shakes hands. She only ran not bothering to see if he was okay how could she? He kidnapped her from her family her mother, father and two older brothers all because he said he loved her but she never returned the feelings he even tattooed his name onto her hip when she was sleeping one night.
the sound of cars made her heart flutter as she ran out onto cement in front of a car who by luck had stopped in time
"are you crazy!?" The angered man yelled from his window but his eyes softened when he saw she was covered in blood her clothes torn everywhere
"please help me! Before he comes back for me please!" She begged in fear the Jason was right behind her ready to punish her for leaving again but not this time, the man got her to the hospital as the police came and began to question her but she sat on the white bed still very confused on what was going on but when Megan's eyes landed on a women with short black hair she got off the bed not caring that the back of the dress was visible showing everyone her butt.
"Mom!" Megan screamed in so much joy jumping into the arms of her mother who she hasn't seen in years. kimberly helped her daughter change but when she saw all the bruises and scars on her innocent 17 year old daughters body a single tear slipped through her closed eyes.
"hey mom can we go home now?" As they pulled up to the exact same house but it was newly renovated to be bigger for them she slowly got out of the car only to stare in awe at her home but a man she recognized came running out engulfing her into a hug while his tears hit her shirt soaking through her to her shousmiles "Megan I thought he killed you oh my baby girl " Richard her father cried out holding his daughter as close as possible to him as she quickly held him back hoping for some comfort. She walked upstairs counting each step only this time there was twenty eight steps and she walked down the carpeted floor counting till she got to the third door as she breathed in holding her breathe her hand held the cold doorknob as the door slowly opened making the horrid creaking noise she hated it only reminded her of the torture room Jason would put her in she recognized pictures of her best friends. She walked up closer to the pictures only to admire the happy smiles that was on her face could she truly smile anymore?
"Hey meg" Megan looked at the door way to see her oldest brother Chris standing there She could only look over every feature there was on him she noticed he had more fat on him than before she left he even had a small beard beginning to form.
"hey Chris" she said as he made his way over to her and hugged her tight She held onto him in fear if She didn't she would be taken away.
"Allen is coming home tonight from his flight you know he'll want private time with you" her and Allen were close since he was only two years older than Megan but she didn't want to be alone tonight so Chris sat by her bedside as her eyes slowly closed her chest movements became soft and in steady he tooku one look around her room happy that his baby sister was home to stay, getting up his elbows snapped at the sudden movement but he ignored it and leaned over her kissing forehead as he began to leave he froze at seeing a picture on her wall. Her true smile shone through showing pure happiness and her innocence he swallowed the lump that formed in his throat and took one last glance at Megan just to make sure she was truly there and closed her door behind him.
