Prince Charming is my Teacher

Chapter 23

I couldn't breathe as I opened the door slowly, and I let Abby go in first to see if there were people there. She waved her hand at me, so I tip-toed in and followed her.

"Come on, let's go." Abby whispered, but we both froze as we heard the slow tapping of a foot.

"Well well well." I heard Trisha's voice behind us, her evil voice mocking my fright. "Look who finally decided to come back."

"Not for long." I hissed as she approached me, and since she was wearing heels, she towered over me easily.

"What made you come back? Your patheticness? Your poorness? Your lack of anything good?" She shot at me, one arm on each side of my face. "You're dead, Cindy. Hope you realize that now." But I escaped from under her arms, grabbing Abby by the wrist and running. "Dad!" She called, and I picked up everything as fast as I could. I stood up fast with all the stuff, but then the door slammed shut, and I heard it lock.

"No!" I screamed, dropping everything and running to the door, pounding on it. "Let me out now!"

"Hey, we'll deal with you later." I heard Trisha's voice as I heard Abby screaming.

"Abby!" I screamed, and pulled out my phone, texting anyone for help. I looked at the text from Lucas that I ignored when I climbed out of my car.

let me help. He texted, and I started punching in letters spastically.

help! now! I texted, pressing send. I heard the screaming, both high pitched and excruciating, and then my phone beeped again

I'm on my way. He texted, and I felt a sigh of relief wash over me. Even if I ended up dying, he'd be there to fight for me.

But as two minutes rolled around, I heard Trisha screaming, and bones breaking. Suddenly the door started shaking, and I backed away from it as it got kicked down, and I saw Lucas standing there, holding out his hand.

"You okay?" He asked, and I nodded, picking up my stuff and taking his hand. He gripped it tightly as we made our way through the house, and I saw Abby on the floor, and images of Mom started flashing back in my head.

"Abby!" I screamed, dropping to my knees and shaking her. "Abby, wake up!" I felt the tears streaming down until I heard the clicking sound behind me.

"I don't think so." I heard Trisha's voice as I turned my head slightly, seeing the black, shiny gun in her hand. But just like that it was kicked out of her hand, and Lucas started fighting her, blocking and throwing jabs, making her trip with one round kick at the ankle, doing some awesome fighting moves I've only seen pulled off in the movies. I shook Abby until her eyes opened, and then I helped her up fast.

"Lucas!" I shrieked, and just like that he stopped and ran towards me, grabbing my wrist as I linked arms with Abby, and we got the hell out of there.

We ran outside, almost jumped into Lucas's car and he drove, and I heard the gun shooting off as he drove fast and far away from the house. Only when it was out of view, and I stopped hearing the gun, did I breathe in relief.

"Thanks." I choked out, and he took one of my hands in his.

"Why did you do that, Cindy?" He asked, his voice squeaking slightly. "Why did you go back?"

"Abby's not going to live there anymore." I stated, pulling out my phone and scrolling through my contacts. "I'm making sure Mark takes her." With that I started texting him. hey can abby stay @ ur place? she couldn't handle trish and dad anymore.

"What if he doesn't though?" Abby whined from the back. "I gonna get abandoned…"

"No you won't." I soothed as my phone beeped.
