Chapter 8

I had to get everything organized, had to get it straight and in order.

What was my next step?

I couldn't just sit here and ignore what is happening, I had to react, make something happen.

But how?

My mind was blank, I couldn't think of a reasonable solution.

I didn't know how long I was staring at the wall but it must of been ages because I heard the front door slowly open and close.

My dad.

He worked awfully late and came back around midnight every week except weekends of course.

 My heart skipped a beat, I wanted to move, but my whole body had frozen.

Why it's just my dad?

I stood there searching for something to do in my room. I glanced over to the window, bringing back the memory of seeing her.

That's when I made a promise, tomorrow...tomorrow I will go outside and face my fears.

I have to, then I will be able to close my eyes.

Most of the night I spent, thinking about a plan for my escape.

My dad had gone asleep, I was up alone.

The silence disturbed me, it gave me the creeps. The loneliness gave me too much time to think.

It was final, tomorrow was the day and I was going to succeed.

Or so I had hoped!
