Hey again guys! I hope you are relieved that Rebecca lived! Let me know if you have any suggestions of comments on these chapters or chapters that I could introduce in the future!
THANK-YOU FOR ALL OF MY CURRENT REVIEWS!
We would run away! What a genius idea... However great the idea was, it still had many negative aspects that needed to be analysed and considered carefully. For example: what would we do if I got caught stealing from the shop we would increasingly be relying on? Where would we go to stay? How would we get a regular income? If I found a job how would I look after Rebecca? These and many more questions zoomed in a pesky manner around my head and the answers made me feel perplexed to no end.
That evening as soon as my mother headed off to the bar I seized the opportunity to make my escape. If mother thought that she was impregnable she would have a huge shock! My stomach formed a taut knot of nerves, but I was also slightly excited as the realisation that Rebecca would be totally reliant on me came to me. I would protect my baby… I would die for her if necessary, but first I would create a humble abode for us and provide us with adequate supplies of food and drink. Then it hit me and caused me to smile, I would be the first one to witness Rebecca's first word! I would be her dad!
Rebecca was in her cradle and for a few minutes I hovered by her, she grinned a crooked grin at me and I instantly felt a surge of exhilaration she was so pretty. She gurgled softly as I gingerly lifted her out of her cot. I shoved her only bottle into my pocket and headed to the door. As soon as we stepped outside I instantly felt the tranquil night atmosphere. The sky was a black velvet blanket encrusted with tiny stars. Rebecca gazed up to the sky in awe and her eyes glistened. We headed down several stony roads and unknown avenues as my bare feet grew raw and painful.
… "YOU LITTLE IDIOT," someone yelled behind me before attempting to ambush Rebecca and me. I swiftly dodged the ambush causing the person who was obviously on hot pursuit of me for the whole journey to fall flat on their face.
Breathlessly I observed that the person was indeed my mother, as I had speculated!
On discovery of this persons true identity, I ran for all my might ignoring her fervent curses, with Rebecca who was sleeping in my arms.
Any comments for this chapter? Sorry it was a bit short, it is the penultimate chapter and I plan to make it up to you in the next chapter! Please don't give up on me! : )
