Dream Of Demons While You Sleep
Tell Her Or No?
“Where is my daughter?” shit it was her. I got up and ran behind William.
“I’m not here” I whispered
“She is eating breakfast” his mom told her, shit, shit, shit!
“Oh, tell her I want her home when she finishes” FUCK!
“Get Sam to come with you?” he said looking at me.
“She’ll still hit me, she will tell Sam to go home” I started shaking.
“What about we tell mom?” he asked
“What and be put in a foster home?”
“No we’ll adopt you; she’ll be forced to move”
“William, your brilliant idea isn’t going to work because they aren’t going to make her move” his mom walked in the room. She looked at William and me and laughed,
“Your mom wants you home dear”
“Tell her or no” Will whispered
“No”
“Ok” I stood up and walked back over to my breakfast. And started eating but slowly, the more time I spent here the better.
“So why did you come here last night dear?”
“I was upset that’s all” she smiled at me. Then frowned
“Your mother doesn’t seem like a very happy person” William and I cracked up laughing,
“She isn’t a very happy person that’s why” I laughed almost chocking on the food I’d only just swallowed.
“Why?” she asked,
“Never mind” she nodded and left the room. I ate the rest of my food and listen to William talk about random things,
“Annabelle, what will she do this time?” he asked, I swallowed the remainder of the food and spoke.
“Probably leave me with some nasty bruises’ make me finish her wall then kick me out.” I said with a yawn
“Kick you out?” I nodded,
“Not the first time she’s done it for a reason like this” I shrugged and stood up. “Better get going” I stood up and went to walk out,
“Annabelle, wait!” he grabbed my arm and turned me around.
“How’d you upset her!” Sam yelled
“I didn’t” he yelled back
“What is it, the longer I am here the more angry she is going to get” I looked up at him, he was blushing. “Will what is it?”
“Never mind I don’t want you in any more trouble” he let go of my arm and turned away from me.
“I don’t care if I get in trouble” I said putting my hand in his cheek and turning his face to me. “What did you want to say?” he closed his eyes and opened his mouth to talk.
“Anna, I’ll tell you later. You need to get home please?”
“Promise me you’ll tell me what you wanted to say later?” I asked,
“I promise” I walked past Sam in the lounge room watching music videos,
“See you Sam”
“Bye” she replied as I walked out the door. Time to face punishment. Or no I couldn’t.
Come on, look at the bruises’ you’ve already got do you want more? I pulled my singlet up to look at the dark blue bruises’ then down at my legs and finally on my arms. I looked behind me. Then at the house I spent last night in. I walked back up to the front door and knocked, Sam answered,
“I thought you just left” she laughed, William appeared behind her.
“Wow that was fast.” I laughed
“Can I have your number?” he nodded and I handed him my phone. He put the number in and I saved it, “Thank you”
“Bye”
“Bye” I walked away, after he closed the door I turned around and walked the other way. I didn’t know where I was going to go but I wasn’t going home. I walked for about an hour before I came across the park will had taken me too yesterday. I went as sat on the swing, pushing myself back and forth. I started thinking about what William was going to tell me. To had to be something if he was going red, I shook the thoughts that were filling my head and got up again. I walked for another hour. It was only 10:00am, I started getting board.
William I’m bored
Annabelle xo
I went and sat on a bench, and watched the cars pass by, my phone vibrated in my hands.
Anna where are you! Your mom came over yelling, said you didn’t go home. I’m worried; you don’t know your way around. Are you lost? Please say you know where you are so I can come get you.
Will
I laughed, aw that’s cute.
William calm down. I’m not going home.
Halfway threw the text William rang,
“Annabelle!” he yelled into the phone.
“What?”
“Where are you!” he paused “Anna please” his voice softened
“Will I’m outside a pizza shop. Calm down please, I’m not going home, I’ll be eighteen in four days then she can’t hold me in her house and I’ll be free of it all.”
“Where are you supposed to go?”
“Your mom would let me in yes?”
“Yeah but that’s not the point, your mom lives next door Anna.”
“Yes but she can’t do anything if I’m not living in her house.”
“What Pizza shop are you sitting in front of?” he asked I looked at the shop,
“I don’t know it just says pizza.”
“Is it much of a walk from my house?”
“It’s not far from the park you took me to yesterday”
“Ok, stay where you are I’m going to look for you. Then we’ll tell mom what’s going on and get her to let you live with us.”
“Sounds good, will she tell Jenna I’m not there though is she lets me stay?”
“Yeah” I smiled not that he could see.
“Ok see you soon”
“Bye. The phone line went dead and I flipped my phone shut. With in half an hour William was standing in front of me,
“Come on” he went to pull me off the bench but instead I pulled him on me.
“What was it you wanted to tell me?” I asked his face was inches from mine.
“I was going to tell you that, well…” he turned bright red again.
“Well?”
“I like you” I smiled,
“I like you too” I said pecking his cheek.
“Come on Anna, we’re going home before you mom starts looking for you herself” he said pulling me up.
“I’m not here” I whispered
“She is eating breakfast” his mom told her, shit, shit, shit!
“Oh, tell her I want her home when she finishes” FUCK!
“Get Sam to come with you?” he said looking at me.

“Ok” I stood up and walked back over to my breakfast. And started eating but slowly, the more time I spent here the better.
“So why did you come here last night dear?”
“I was upset that’s all” she smiled at me. Then frowned
“Your mother doesn’t seem like a very happy person” William and I cracked up laughing,
