CHAPTER 17

Cynthia

I drag myself up the steps, my teeth sinking into my lower lip to swallow the gasps of agony.

It's past midnight here, and everybody is in bed. After two days of beating me black and blue, Jonathon should be dead tired. My left leg is broken, and I pull myself up the steps, my belongings clenched in my other hand. Norman is in his room, and he's the one I'm most scared of right now. If he finds me trying to escape, it's over for me.

I just have to make it to the front door and then I can call Tony.

I know he's near the house. Right now, I don't know if he will help me, but he's been kind to me recently, and I want to believe he will. I'm just going on faith here.

I see the phone as I grip the wall of the living room and pull myself to my feet, forcing all my weight on my right leg. It's on the kitchen counter, right next to a bright red laptop that I recognize.

"…leaving now. There had better be some bitches there, Ricky. Someone needs to suck me off."

Norman's voice has me ducking into the kitchen and quickly flicking the light switch to shroud the room in darkness. His footsteps pound on the steps, and he walks right past the kitchen entrance. The entrance is U-shaped with two walls extending on each side. I'm curled up on the ground, on the inside part of the wall, hoping he doesn't smell my blood. Fortunately, Norman just walks out the front door, and a few minutes later, I hear the sound of his car roaring away.

Blinking rapidly, my heart racing, I pull myself to my feet. A gasp of pain slips out as my back rubs against the wall. My left arm isn't functioning too well, either. I must have dislocated my shoulder at some point. My chest hurts, and it's hard to breathe right now. Taking the laptop will be more noticeable, but my escape will put me in just as much danger. I drag myself to the counter and, using my functioning hand, I first use my phone to call Tony.

"Pick me up at the main entrance of the house," I say hoarsely. "Hurry. Please."

Once that is done, I look around. I can't possibly carry everything with me. I've just got one hand. I search for a bag or something and find a paper bag belonging to some branded store. Reaching for it, I stuff the laptop, Norman's phone, and my own, along with my wallet inside. I don't know how I get to the front door, but it seems like a never-ending journey to hell, each step making me want to scream in agony.

Tony is waiting outside in the car, and after one look at me, he's out of the car. "What happened?"

"What do you think?" I mumble weakly. "L-Let's go. Please, before they wake up."

"Wait," Tony stops me, alarmed. "Are you running away?"

I stare at him, my heart in my mouth.
