Title: To Protect
Author: Winter Blaze
Chapter 11: Relapse
POV: Lizzie
I had turned eighteen yesterday and Matt was out today, so things where looking up until I remembered we didn't actually have a home to go too.
We both went over to Miranda's and crashed there for the night. I woke up from sleeping on the couch because I was hearing people talk. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and listened...
"Where else could they go? Miranda from what you told your father and me, the only male she can be around is Matt, she cannot even be around Gordo. She was skittish around your dad, and all he said was 'Hi'." "I know but she...they have no other place to go, so I say they could stay here, or Matt could stay here, and Lizzie could stay at Melina's house."
I decided to act like I just woke up, so they wouldn't feel embarrassed, but I would confront Miranda later. "Hey, Lizzie I see you're awake." "What could I do to help with breakfast?" "Nothing, Liz. Just have cereal are something." "Are you sure Mrs. Sanchez?" "I am sure. Miranda why don't you have Lizzie take a shower first."
We head upstairs and Miranda hands me two towels then says, "I want you to live here or you could choose Melina's but it would be cool if you lived here. Change in my room when you get done." Then she left me and I went into the bathroom, so I guess i don't have to confront her now.
I wrapped a towel around me, and then my hair. I stepped out of the bathroom and saw Miranda's dad walking up the stairs. I panicked and hurried into Miranda's bedroom. I closed the door and hurried to get dressed. I knew my dad was in prison, so why do I still fill afraid of men.
I opened the door just so I could look around the hallway. No one was there, so I started going down the stairs, and into the kitchen. I bumped into someone. I looked up and it was Mr. Sanchez. I fail to the ground and backed away not knowing what to do, in my mind I knew he wasn't going to hurt me, as he came closer I could hear what he was saying, but I didn't care I just wanted to get away.
The next thing I know I wake up in Melina's house and Miranda sitting next to me.
