AUTUMN'S POV-
"You're a fucking bitch" my dad slammed me against the wall
"Please, I didn't do anything" I whimpered
"You lying slut" my mom slapped me. My dad pushed me to the ground and started to kick me. After a while I managed to get my dad to fall and get up.
I ran down the hall trying to avoid anything in the way. I could only hope they didn't catch up to me as I could hear the pounding of their footsteps behind me but that's all I heard. Their voices were fuzzed and I couldn't understand, only focused on the door to get out of this house.
As I reached the bottom I made it towards the front door only to see a guy. I was going too fast and before I could slow down I had already ran into his chest.
"Are you the lucky girl I get tonight" he whispered in my ear while he snaked his arms around my waist
"No! Please let go of me" I pleaded as I tried to push him off
"I want you, you're cute" he chuckled
"She's the one you're gonna get" I heard my dad from behind me
"No, he's not! I'm not doing this" I cried
"Shut the fuck up" my mother pulled my hair and the guy let go "she's a real slut, so treat her like one"
"With pleasure" the guy smiled down at me
"Leave me the hell alone" I shook my head
"When will you learn to keep your mouth closed whore" she pulled my hair harder
"Please, don't do this" I begged
"You can have her for an hour, however you want" my dad explained to the guy
"No!" I screamed and stomped on my mom's foot to make her let go let go. I ran towards the door as fast as I could. I opened the door and rushed out as quickly as possible, I could hear their footsteps behind me
I kept running, even after their footsteps faded. I wasn't sure where I was going. I didn't stop, I kept going till my legs felt numb. My breathing came out in fast pants, my head was pounding, my whole body hurt.
All of a sudden my body gave up, it just collapsed to the ground. I looked around and saw I was at a park. I wasn't paying attention to where I was running, just as long as I got away from them. I tried to stand up, and on wobbly legs I made it to the grass collapsing onto it. I laid back and took deep breaths.
"Autumn?" I heard my name being called but I didn't move. I closed my eyes and focused on breathing. I could hear footsteps getting closer to me and I sighed "Autumn"
I pried my eyes open and saw Ryan. I gave a very small, very unconvincing smile.
"What are you doing here, you house is like four miles from here" he questioned staring down at me
"I- um- well- I took a run?" it came out more of a question then a statement, I wasn't even convinced
"Yea, in your jeans?" He raised his eyebrows
"Yup, trying something new" I took a deep breath
"Seriously, what are you doing here" he sat down next to me
"Just visiting this side of town, don't come here too often" I shrugged closing my eyes again
"Try something else" he chuckled
"Went on a walk, then I started to run and ended up here?" I tried
"Try the truth" he suggested
"My body is sore" I complained trying to change the subject
"Did- did you run all the way from your house he sounded shocked
"Yea, it's something I don't ever want to do again" I confessed
"Jesus Christ" he raised his voice "why did you run from home"
"Just wanted to get away, you know" I dismissed
"Come on, let's go to my house" he sighed and turned around
"I-I think I'm going to stay here" I mumbled "it's nice out and I like it outside"
He stopped walking and turned around to stare at me
"No, you aren't staying here. Now get up" he shook his head
"I need to rest, I just ran four miles!" I insisted "I also can't move"
"What do you mean you can't move" he asked
"If you want me to move you have to help me up" I explained. He sighed before walking over to me and giving me his hands to take. He helped me stand up and my legs were on fire "fuck"
"What's the matter" he panicked putting his arms around me to help guide me
"Just sore" I murmured
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I fell against the bed and let out a deep breath.
"Comfortable" Ryan asked behind me
"Very much" I smiled
"Well sorry to disrupt, but I think you should get out of those jeans" he stated walking over to his dresser. He pulled out a pair of basketball shorts tossing them to me, "put those on"
"I'm fine, I don't need to wear these" I argued
"You don't have a choice, call me when you're done" he disagreed before closing his door behind me, leaving me to change.
I sat at the edge of the bed and began to slip off my jeans. My body still hurt, so it was a struggle, but eventually I was able to slip on his shorts.
"Uh, I'm done" I shouted to the door and he poked his head in
"You took forever" he joked, fully coming into the the room
"Sorry, my body hurts from the running" I disregarded
"Are you hungry, we can get take out?" he asked me
"Um yea, I'll pay you back" I nodded "I didn't bring my money with me, I was in such a rush"
"You don't have to pay me back" he stated "in fact you aren't going to pay me back at all"
