Good choice

Averys P.O.V

'My arm is being pulled by my father as he makes his way towards a door in the house that was not to be opened."You couldn't find a job so I found one for you." he snickers before throwing open the door revealing a room with just a mattress and a trash can in it.There was an older man standing in the middle of the room with a sinister grin.

My father shoves me into the small room with the man locking me in.The man creeps towards me "Your a good looking one aren't you." he croaks out.My stomach twists as I back my self into Conner unable to say anything.The man gets closer and closer and...'

I shoot up into a sitting position cold sweat coating my body my breaths coming out heavy and unsteady.I don't have nightmares all that often but when I do there always about my Father.I let out a heavy sigh and bring my hands to my head,At least it didn't get to the bad part yet.

I turn to look at the clock which read 5.03 am,Great just my luck theres no way I'm going back to sleep now.I pull the blankets off my body and swing my legs over my bed deciding that getting a drink of water is the best course of action.

I creep out of my room quietly closing the door behind me before tip toeing my way to the stairs.when i'm about half way down the stairs a pick up on a noise, its sounds like typing.I reach the bottom of the stairs to see Kaiden curled up in the corner of the couch blanket over him with his laptop resting on his lap as he types.

I make my movements slightly louder just as I had done when I had talked to Mave the day before.His head jolts up and his eyes search the room before landing on me.

"Avery?" He says yawning out the end of my name."Uh hi."I saw awkwardly.Before he even had a chance to say any thing else I quickly mumbled out the word water and shuffled my way to the kitchen.Luckily there were no lights on in the living room because I already know I look rough, and I really don't feel like answering questions.

I grab a bottle of water from the fridge and make my way back towards the stairs which means passing Kaiden.just as I make it to the living room the typing stops and I make the mistake of turning to look at him.I guess me looking at him gave him the go ahead to speak.

"Why are you up?" he asks clearly groggy "I just woke up with a dry throat and decided to get water,i'm going back to sleep now." I explain lying about the going back to sleep part but he doesn't need to know that .He gives me a small nod before going back to whatever he was doing on his laptop.

I quickly make my way up the stairs and to my room, not making a noise in the process.The door clicks closed behind me as I make my way back to my bed, flopping down on top of it and rolling on the my back so my eyes are set on the celling.

I stare at the ceiling and let my mind wander for hours.My father comes to mind first.And then the man in the room,Perry.Perry was a close friend of my fathers and a what he like to call "A loyal customer".Being a loyal customer isn't really a thing you Bragg about when your paying to Sexually assault a 10-16 year old kid.

My thoughts corrupted me for a while before a heard a knock on my door.Theres no way its already nine.I shoot up into a siting position and look at the clock on my beside table which read 8:58.Jeez how out of it was I?

The person behind the door knocks again. "Im Up!" I say a little louder then a normal volume so he could hear me.I can already feel that today's not going to be a good day,Its never a good day after a nightmare if you could even call the that.All I know is that whatever they are throw off my day completely.

I was correct.I'm sitting at the dining table starting at a muffin,Xaviers whole food thing as been difficult for me but this is another level.Muffins are the definition of fatting and I cant risking gaining any more weight,I may not have a scale but I can tell that I've gained some weight not a ton but some.
