Shadows

Part 4

Help Me

There was an uncomfortable silence between the two young men as they walked towards Robbie and Tasha's house.

He didn't know what it was like to have siblings, so Kim could only imagine what Rob and his family were going through.

The silence was soon broken when a an overly excited Tash rushed towards them,

"Kim"! She squealed in a very unlike Tash way.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, he look to Robbie confusedly; he in turn mouthed 'hormones'

Kim nodded and wrapped his arms around the smaller girl; it was good to see his friend after so long.

"It's good to see you too" he laughed, temporality forgetting the situation with Matilda "But I do need my air supply"

Tash pulled away and smiled apologetically and instead grabbed onto his arm, pulling him gently

"Come on inside"

Kim looked back to Robbie pleading him not to leave him alone to long with the pregnant Tash.

Robbie grinned and grabbed his mobile as it rang, he held up his index finger indicating he would only be a moment.

"Hello"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nervously she dug her nails into her arm as the phone rung, her heart was racing.

"Hello" said the voice on the other end

"Robbie" she rasped

"Hello" the voice repeated obviously not hearing her

"Robbie, Robbie it's me"

"Hello is anyone there"?

"Robbie"

"Ok I'm going to hang up now," he said sarcastically

"ROBBIE" she screamed as the line went dead.

She was running and he was hot on her heels, panting hard and eyes welling with tears as her bare feet hit the scorching cement. Running used to be free, but now she was running where there was no destination, running, where there was no escape.

She was running, but would forever be trapped.

His hand latched on to her singlet and he pulled her back against his chest.

"I've got ya" and I'm never letting you go"

She punched in the number again and just as the phone had begun to ring her phone switched off.

She pushed the button half a dozen times trying to get it back on, the battery was dead. She threw the phone across the room. As the front door opened and footsteps approached.

"Help me" she sobbed
