Broken

Chapter 28

AUSTIN!!!!

It was taking forever to get my car started. It would not move and I dont know why. I had this bad feeling in my stomach though and I am not sure how I feel about it. Finally almost twenty minutes later I got it to start and I headed back towards the house. I saw the front door open and knew something was wrong. I got out and didnt shut the door, nor did I turn the car off. I walked inside and heard crying. I ran up the stairs and to where it was coming from, I opened the door quickly. I saw Parker over her with knife to her throat. 

I got scared, and wanted to run to her and just hold her but I could not. I was finally able to get him away from her and he pushed by me. I followed him and threw him down the stairs. In fact, i'm not sure if he is still there or not. I ran to her and went to hold her. She flinched away and I had to reassure her that I was here and not him. Finally she loosened up and let me just hold her in my arms. I allowed her to cry into my shoulder, even though she was bleeding by her nose and on my forehead and cheeks. Basically everywhere. 

I took her to the bathroom and wiped all the blood away. She refused to let me see her stomach though, and I'm not 100 percent sure why. I just left and soon she came back by me. She stood again and ran down the stairs and back up. I guess he isn't there anymore. She sat down next to me and I told her to just get some sleep. Honestly, she needs it. I am worried about her, I am extremely worried about her. She then told me she was scared, and just in her voice I could tell that she wanted to cry. I felt so terrible. If I would have just taken her with me then everything would have been okay. She wouldn't be laying next to me scared and hurt.

 "I am so sorry," I sighed, "I should not have left you here. You wouldn't be hurt right now. You wouldn't be scared right now."

I just ran my fingers through her hair as she slept. She turned over to face me and her eyes slightly opened. 

"I'm not scared," she shook, "I'm not hurt. I'm with you."

I smiled small and pressed my lips to her forehead, "go on back to sleep."

"You have to sleep too," she sat up slowly.

"I will," I nodded.

"liar," she laughed, "come on now. I am not completely dumb."

"Never said you were," I smirked.

"Did I ever say that you said I was?" she asked.

"Fair enough," I laughed.

"Alright," she said, "then get some sleep."

I nodded and laid down. I pulled her down with me and held her tightly in my arms. I felt her heart rate slow as I pulled her closer to me. I smiled and waited till she was asleep. Soon she was, and I closed my eyes.
