Please Don't Run

You'll stay with me, won't you?

"Please, let me go..." I begged, desperation etched in my voice.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that." His nails Sunk deeper into my arm as he pulled me closer to his chest.

"You don't understand.. I need you. You caused this. Don't run like a coward again...." his husky voice brushed my sensitive ear. My whole body shivered in fear while I froze in his grip.

I hung my head in shame and misery and I recalled how this all started.

12 years ago

"Elli, come down and meet our new neighbors!" I heard my mom shout from downstairs while I was playing on my DS*.

A bit bummed I had to stop playing my Pokémon game for a while, I quickly tossed it on the best and ran down stairs, skidding to a stop next my mom almost slipping in my socks.

Peeking out behind my mom, I saw a petite lady with blonde hair and a voluptuous body with a black haired little boy hiding sheepishly behind her.

"This is my little rascal of a kid, Elli! Elli, meet our new neighbors Ms. Genovive, and her son Denny." She pushes me to the timid boy who looked frightened at the not-so-sudden introduction. He seemed to be around 8 years old..

Nonetheless, I put on my best smile and stretched out my hand. "Nice to meet you Denny! My name's Elli~! I hope we get along very well!"

Stunned, he slowly put out his and and gave a small handshake before getting back behind his mother and giving me a sheepish smile.

"Little Denny here is 2 years younger, so remember to treat him well, you hear?" My mother gave me a firm look as she rubbed my head.

"Yeeeeeees, mom, I knowwwww" I whined as I poured at her. Looking back at Denny, I gave him a smile,
"Make sure to come over to play tomorrow! We're gonna be best friends!!!"

After my mom and Ms.Genovive talked a bit more, they finally went home as my mom prepared dinner.

After eating dinner, I went back to playing my game and eventually slept, anticipating the next day.
