Broken anchor (Magcon)

Chapter one

"James you don't have to do this. I won't talk back again" I say backing away to the wall."I think I do sweet

Cori." he says stepping closer to me. He pulls his arm back getting ready to hit me. I tense up bracing myself for the

pain. But instead of hitting me he starts to stroke my hair. "aww is my little Cori scared." he says still stroking my hair.

What is he doing, he is never this nice to me. "Maybe I should change punishment for tonight, give you a

break. Would you like that?" he says starting to rub my arms. I just look at him petrified. "I asked you a question!"

he says slapping me across the face. "now answer." he yells in my face. All I smell is his alcoholic breath. "It up to

you." I say back on the verge of tears. "Well looks like your getting both" he says as he starts to get closer to me.

Once he's right up on me he says "remember what happens when you scream." I get wide eyed remembering

what happened last time. His hands slowly make their way up my shirt. "this is gonna be so much fun." He says

to me chuckling.

"AHHHHHHH!" I wake up screaming. I look around and realize it was just a dream. All of the sudden my lights

come on and Cameron is standing at the door. "What happened?" He asks still half asleep "are you okay?" he adds

as he starts to walk towards my bed."I had another nightmare." I tell him thinking about the dream I just had. I

have had this dream 3 times in the past month. I know it's a dream cause James is in jail, but it still feels so real.

"Was it the same dream?" He asks worriedly. I shake my head yes. Cameron is the only one who knows

about any of my feelings, and that's just cause I had to tell him why I woke up screaming every other night. I may not open up to him but he still feels like my older

brother. While I was lost in my own world I realize Cams trying to get my attention. He asks if I want to go and

lay down in his room. I shake my head yes and tell him thank you. We go to his bedroom and I start to go to the

couch but he stops me and points to the bed. I try to protest but ended up laying on the bed. As I drift off to sleep

if feel Cameron put the blanket on me and kiss my forehead.

I wake up at 11:00 the next morning and notice that Cameron isn't in here anymore. I get up and go downstairs

and he's in there sitting with a couple of other friends. I automatically turn around and go back into my room. I

change out of my pajamas into some shorts and one of Cameron's sweatshirts. I grab my phone and go back

downstairs to grab breakfast. I try to walk as quiet as I can going downstairs, hoping Cameron and his friends don't

notice me. I make half way down the stairs and then I trip over a shoe Cameron left in the middle of the stair

case. I fall the rest of the way down the stairs and all of the boys look at me and run over. I start to freak out cause I'm

claustrophobic and they are all surrounding me. they are all talking to me but I can't hear any of them cause I

have so much ringing in my ears from this little panic moment. I stand up and push them all away from me and then
