The Two Runaways
The day started dark and stormy, lightning and thunder crashed, it had been raining for a week nonstop. I woke up to a crack of thunder and a flash of lightning, my brother Micah opened the door just as lightning flashed making him seem evil, "Piper come on we're gonna be late." he complained as I stumbled out of bed, Micah closed the door and I got dressed quickly, I gathered everything I needed and headed downstairs, "Piper Luna Spaniola." my mom said, "I forgot to set my alarm." I grumbled as I ate my bowl of cereal, "Well either way go or you're grounded." she said sternly, as soon as I was done eating, I put my bowl in the sink and dashed outside just as the bus pulled away, "Not again." I groaned.
My dad pulled up into the driveway, he hit the trashcan, he stumbled out of the car drunk, again. "What are you doing, you should be at school." he said as he stumbled to me, I nod, "I missed the bus." I said nervously knowing the way my dad got when drunk, "Steve, can you come here a second, Piper go." my mom said, "Lilly, who knocked over the trashcan?" he asked drunkenly as he stumbled over to my mom, I ran off before any of my parents could say anything else, I got to school half an hour late, I shuffled into class head low, I sat beside Micah, "Did dad come home?" Micah whispered I nodded, Micah looked down at his schoolwork as a tear fell.
After school, we walked home, as soon as we walked in the house we knew something was wrong, we heard our parents in the kitchen, we walked into the kitchen just as my dad hit my mom, "Mom!" Micah yelled, "Go to your room!" our dad yelled still drunk when Micah didn't go, my dad, hit Micah making him stumble, "Micah!" I screamed, my dad glared at me and slowly approached me, my mom grabbed him trying to keep him away from me, my dad turned on my mom and punched her in the face, "Mom!" I shrieked, my mom didn't get up, she was knocked out, I grabbed Micah and pulled him to the door, "Micah we have to get out of here!" I yelled, Micah grabbed my hand and pulled me with him as we ran out of the house, "Get back here!" our dad yelled, we kept on running nonstop.
For the next 2 days, we were on the run, Micah and I had been wise to bring our wallets containing our money buying food and water as we went on as runaways, we slept in abandoned houses and traveled at night in the shadows wary of any police cars, we didn't want to ever go back to our monster of a father. "What about mom?" I asked, Micah said nothing as we kept on walking, all of a sudden a police siren shattered the quiet night around us. We started running knowing that if we were caught we would have to go back to our father.
After running for 10 minutes straight my legs gave out, I was too exhausted to run anymore, "Micah." I said weakly, Micah ran back to me and stayed with me when the cops caught up to us, the cops put us in the back seat, "Micah, I don't want to go back to dad." I said as tears started to flow, Micah said nothing and hugged me tightly, the police took us to the station. The cops brought us into the station where our mom was waiting, "Mom!" Micah and I yelled at the same time, our mom got up and dashed over to us and hugged us as the three of us started to cry, "Your father was arrested for child abuse, he will never come back again." our mom said, we went home with tears still in our eyes but happy.
How is this?
This was all done in one day. |
