He saved me✔️

Chapter 1 (Again)

I walked past the insults. They were the same hurtful ones. Always the same at school. Then I got home with the always different surprise from my foster dad and his sons.

Either a punch, slap, kick, so are words, others are objects. Things thrown at me.

I walk upstairs after getting my beating. Today's was worse. I had blooding spurring from my forehead.

I have had enough. I packed a giant bag with everything I thought I would need. Food water clothes sleeping bag flashlight candles lighter matches batteries blankets.

After that I crawled out of my window and ran away. I'm in the woods and notice how much blood I've lost. Then I felt myself drop into arms. I see darkness with no hearing.

Everything is a blur. My sight can focus on where ever I am. I think I'm in a house..... Or a tree.

"Hey, take it easy"

I blink multiple times before my eye sight finally starts to focus on the boy the is standing in front of me.

"What's your name?"

I didn't answer his question. Instead I just quickly pushed myself away from him. He could tell that I was scared.

"I won't hurt you. I promise. You lost a lot of blood and you passed out. I was trying to help you."

I pull my knees to my chest trying to protect myself any way that I could. What if he is like my foster family.

"J-just l-leave me alone."

"I'm sorry but I can't. Your hurt and I'm not letting you go out into the forest like this."

"Your like 12"

"Actually in 14. I ran away 2 years ago when I was 12"

"Where am I?"

"Your in a tree house. It's high off the ground so people won't see it. I live here"

I didn't respond to him. I just wrap my arms around my knees and lay my head down.

I felt tired but I promised myself I wouldn't fall asleep with this guy.

I look up to see him put a blanket around me. Soon later I fell asleep.
