Chapter 7: Made my Mistakes

Sabrina's P.O.V.

"Do you have to go?" Chase whines as I finish packing my bag.

"Yes. It's court ordered." I say, slinging my backpack over my shoulder.

"You are going to your mother's for crying out loud." Chase freaks, following me out of my room, "At least let me come."

" No. It's just for the weekend. I'll be fine." I answer, bounding down the stairs.

"All packed?" Dad asks as we enter the living room.

"Yeah. And we gotta go if I'm gonna catch the bus." I say, opening the front door.

"I could always drive you." Dad says, following behind Chase and I down the driveway.

"No. I want to take the bus. Plus you have your thing." I reply, turning down the street and ignoring Chase's pleading looks.

"Fine." Dad says, throwing his arms in the air.

When we get to the bus stop, I hug Dad and Chase. When I hug Chase, he groans sadly. "Chase. You're not going to die without me. I'll be home Sunday." I say, then kiss him on the cheek.

"Bye." I say, boarding the bus. They wave to me from the stop as the bus pulls away.

Twenty minutes later, I'm at the front door of my childhood home. I'm not sure if I should knock or not, so I just walk in.

"Mom?" I shout into the empty foyer, "Are you here?"

"Sabrina!" She squeals and pulls me into a hug.

"Hey Mom." I reply and she releases me... and drags me into the kitchen.

"I made your favorite chocolate chip cookies with marshmallow candies in them and hot chocolate." She says, releases my arm and going over to the cobblestone counter.

"Thanks." I say, sitting in my old chair as she gives my hot chocolate and puts down a plate on cookies. For the next half hour, we chat and eat the cookies, dipping them first. I tell her about Chase, Dad, Bree, Leo, Adam, Tasha and I tell her how Kelly's doing. She tells me she hasn't been drinking.

"Okay, well, I'm gonna go up to my room." I say, and head upstairs.

I check my phone. 37 messages from Chase and 9 from Bree, but I can tell Chase was the one who sent the ones from Bree.

Sabrina- hey Chase. Im fine. stop txting so much. :P

Chase- Sry. Im just worried about u.

Sabrina- dont b. Im ok.

Chase- Alright...

Sabrina- K. gtg. 3 u.

Chase: 3 u 2. Bye.

Sabrina- Bye. :)

Chase- ;)

Good. Chase will hopefully, hopefully, stop worrying. I don't know when, but I pass out. I wake up a few hours later as my Mom opens my door.

"Hi." I say, and then I smell it. Alcohol. She's drunk. Now I'm scared.

"You have a year, A Year, to make up for!" She says, throwing me against the wall.

"Please don't." I plead, but she kicks me in the side. I whimper. I can't let her have satisfaction, so I'm not going to cry out. She slams her boot against my head, making me hit the wall again. She grabs the collar of my shirt, then digs the nails of her other hand into my arm. Then my head slams against the windowsill. I cry out and she throws me on the bed. Then she leaves. I'm trying to figure out the damage. My head and arm are bleeding. I'm bruised all over and I might have a concussion. I have to escape. I can't go downstairs without stumbling. I'll have to jump out the window. I'm only on the second floor and there is a pond by my window. I hope it's still as deep as it used to be. I toss my backpack over the pond, on the ground on the other side. Then I jump. For a second, I'm in mid-air, then I'm in the water. I surface, swim over to my pack, get out of the water, put on my pack and run. I don't know where. I just run.

Thirty five minutes later, I'm on the front step. Blood is running from my head like crazy, and I can barely breathe. My vision is fuzzy, but I needed to get inside before I black out. I force myself to my feet. I open the front door and stumble inside. I find the couch and begin to yell.

"Sabrina! What happened?" Someone asks. I think it was Leo or maybe Bree. I can't tell.

"Mom... Drunk... Attacked..." I murmur before I black out.

Adam's P.O.V.

Everyone is downstairs now after the whole 'An Adam clone delivered our pizza situation. I'm up in Leo's room when I hear shouting. I go downstairs to check it out and what I see is a battered and bloody Sabrina laying on the couch.

"Sabrina! What happened?" I ask and she mumbles something I don't understand.

"Bree! Leo! Chase!" I yell.

"What? Leo asks and I point to Sabrina.

"What happened?" Bree asks.

"I don't know." I say, picking her up.

"Hospital. Now!" Chase says and we all go to Mr. Davenport's new self driving car.

"Where do you want to go?" The car asks.

"Mission Creek Hospital." Chase says, and we set off.

~Hey XDers. It's one in the morning. Once I post this, bedtime. Night, or for most people probably, morning. Ciao.
