Chapter 45

"Colt" I whisper softly trying to see if he was asleep yet or not.

I'm still nervous. I slowly bring my hand to his shoulder and give him a little shake, but the snoring doesn't stop.

Finally, it's time. and slowly I push the blankets off my legs. I feel my heart pounding in my chest so hard. My ears are ringing. I think I'm going to have a heart attack.

I slowly crawl out of the bed keeping my head turned towards Colton, so I can see if he moves even an inch.  I'm watching him so closely as I gently climb out of the bed and move a pillow in my spot. If he were to wake up he would feel something next to him.

I take a deep breath and start to walk backwards out of the room. I hug the wall, keeping myself as far away as I can from him just in case I make any noise while I'm stepping on the carpet.

I finally feel the door frame with my fingers and I grab the door handle in my hand and twist it slowly.

Please stay asleep.

Please stay asleep.

I repeated over and over in my hand, my lips are starting to get dry. I'm completely terrified right now. What if he is pretending to be asleep just to catch me?

I pull the door open slowly, just in case the door makes a creaking sound as I'm opening it. Slowly I open it a small inch at a time just enough to slide my body through the door and the door frame.

I guess that's one good reason about me not being fed for days, I'm even skinner than I was before I came here.

I take one last look at Colton, watching to make sure he's still sleeping as I back away from the door into the hallway.

Once I'm there I lean against the wall for only a few seconds. Trying to calm myself down, and the nerves growing deep inside my body.

It's okay.

He's sleeping.

You are okay.

You are okay.

Once I catch my breath, I make my way to the staircase and take the steps one at a time slowly. I swing my head back and forth the whole way making sure Colton doesn't pop up behind me.

My body is legit a bundle of nerves right now, this could be my only chance I have at escaping this place and getting my to my old life. I can't let this anxiety and fear cripple me from going through with the plan.

I feel my feet touching the floorboard and I know I'm off the steps, but I can't help but watch above the staircase just in case he's woken up.

I stare for a few moments just making sure before I make my way through the living room into the kitchen and to the back door.

Almost there, Abby.

ALMOST THERE.

DON'T GIVE UP.

I shout in my head as my fear intensifies once I reach my hand out to unlock the door.

I quickly unlock the door without giving in to the fears throwing themselves around in my head. Nothing can stop me. Nothing can stop me.

This is not what good wives do, my brain screams at me.

Dont listen.

Turning the knob I push the door open and the cool breeze of the night washes over my skin as I take a small step outside.

As soon as my feet hit the grass, I take off running, towards the front of the house. That's the first place I'll look for the door to the fence.

I rush around the house and stop looking up at Coltons window before I take off running through passed the side of the house looking for the beginning of the property.

I run ahead but I keep swinging my head backwards to make sure I'm not being chased. I'm so paranoid right now. I think I'm scaring myself even more if that's possible at all.

I feel the wet grass sticking to my feet and right now it's the best feeling in the world. It's a sign of my freedom. I can't stop the tears from rushing down my cheeks as I see the fence coming into the view.

The first thing I'll do is go see my parents, they will be so happy and I'll call my friends once I'm there and I'm sure one of them will have my dog.

I'm so happy, I will probably need some consoling after all the things I have been through. I'm not ashamed to admit my head is a little messed up. It's very messed up that I fear If I had to stay here any longer the old me would have been completely gone in a few months.

There is only so much mental and physical abuse one's mind and body can take before it starts to crack into pieces and that's what's happening to me since I came here.

I feel myself slipping away daily.

The gate suddenly comes into view and I throw all my thoughts out my head as I speed up my steps ready to finally be free! I can't wait to call the cops on these bastards.

They all need to rot in hell!

I reach the gate quickly, but my smile slowly falls off my lips. There's a fucking keypad next to the fences gate door, and I don't know the combination.

All of this wasn't for nothing though.  I just need to find out what the numbers are so I can take the next step to my freedom. Knowing I was so close to being away from here only to have all my fears come rushing back, that I am stuck here for a longer period of time.

I start busting out in tears as I feel my only chance at escaping is fading away fast, I can't believe this.

No, I fucking refuse to give up now.

I step on the fence and to start try to climb it, but then I remember he said it was a electrical fence. Just as well because my body's too weak to climb it.

I turn my head to the side looking to see if Coltons coming this way but I don't see anything, but as the top of the fence comes into view I see fucking barbwire.

I can't climb over that.

I can't get away, I feel my legs giving out as either my strength or the fight to survive leaves my body and I fall down on the ground hard grunting as my legs slam into the ground buckling under my body.

I slam my hands on the ground and hold my hands over my face and cry, I would scream with everything I have but I don't even know if anyone would hear me and if someone does my luck it would be Colton.

I will never see my friends or family again. I hope one of them will take good care of my dog, I slowly stand up and hang my head down and defeat as I head back into the house.

I walk around the property for a few minutes, just trying to see if I can find another way out but I can't see anything around me.

The only way off this property was that fucking gate and Colton told me that and I just refused to listen. I refused to believe there wasn't a way out of this but now I understand.

The only way out of here is with that keypad and I will need the combination.

10 minutes later after slowly walking through the house, I lay my body down next to Colton's who still snoring and close my eyes to get some sleep as my tears are still flowing down my face.
