Chapter 2

My mother was lying on the floor, with a bullet in her leg. The thing that really tore my heart was that my father was standing over her with the gun. I stood there not moving just starring at the scene. Then father turned around and pointed it at me and said, "Get upstairs to your room or I kill you both!" so I ran upstairs to my room and started crying.

I cryed myself to sleep but woke when I heard a loud gun shot. Then I was scared. I heard nothing. Then there were footsteps and they were coming up the stairs. I was very scared when my father walked through the door without the gun and he had a very angry face. He walked over to me and slaped me.

"You are always in the way always causing us to lose more and more money!" when he slaped me I had put my left hand up to my cheek where he slaped me then his face twisted into such a ugly face it isn't even possible to describe. "Look at you your going to make us lose even more money because now you're engaged to that Edward kid. You're so pathetic, look at you on the ground crying."

He left me there and locked the door so I couldn't get out. I got up and looked in my mirror and saw a girl who had a red cheek and eyes blood shot from crying. But then I also saw a girl whose hair was a very pretty color of brown and eyes that are like a chocolate color of brown.

I was up in my room for what seemed like years but it was just sixteen hours. Then I started to get hungry but too afraid to bang on my door and yell for him to let me out. So I walked over to my window and saw that it was dark outside. I listened to make sure that Charlie ,my father, was asleep and heard nothing and opened my window quietly and climbed onto the tree branch and climbed down the tree.

I had on a beautiful red dress that I wore that day to go meet Edward and I had on black I got out of the tree I was about to run away but then I rembered my mother. What if she was dead, what if she was alive but was locked in the cellar? I had to find out. I went over to the kitchen window and looked in and saw my mother strapped to the chair in the kitchen breathing but very slowly. Then Charlie walked torward the stairs going to my room probably. My mother was alone! I walked into the house and my mother looked at me and said, "GO! He will come back soon hurry and save yourself don't worry about me I will be okay. I love you." Then I turned to leave when Charlie was in front of me.
