saving her
chapter 3
Sam’s p.o.v (the next day)
I hardly slept last night scared Alex would come back. He thankfully didn’t. I hardly got any sleep in the anticipation of him coming back.I rolled over so I was facing my side table so I could grab my phone turning it on reviled that it was 9am. Slowly I pulled the warm blankets off of myself and walked to my bag. I had left pants and a shirt out yesterday so I could have something to wear today.
After I ate a quick breakfast of cereal I finished packing my things in my car. Nothing was left in the house. It looked so bare and unfriendly. My aunt really knew how to make a room feel warm and inviting that’s for sure.
I grabbed my keys and phone took one last look at the home I grew up in. this is the last time ill ever see it. Im not coming back tonight. I turned off the lights and turned to the door. I opened the door and locked behind me.
“Ahh MissPark, I believe you have something to give to me?” I jumped back because I didn’t see anyone in the hall when I came out. I had been jumpy all morning not wanting Alex to surprise me again.
“Oh hi Steven, you scared me have to death.” Steven was my landlord; he was a middle aged guy. But he was friendly so I didn’t mind our visits in the halls.
“Sorry about that. You have the keys to your flat though? I have a buyer interested and I wasn’t to make sure it’s in tip top shape.”
“Yup, here’s both of the keys,” I said handing them over. “Wow you work fast, a buyer lined up already.”
“Well ill admit this place won’t be the same without you. I almost forgot! Here’s a late birthday present from me.” He said handing me a letter.
“My birthday was 5 months ago, thank you though.”
“Well it’s an early Christmas present then. Aren’t you going to open it? I want to see your face.”
Slowly I opened the envelope and inside was a card that read best of luck. Inside the card was money. A lot. It was my last months rent, maybe more. I put the card back n his hand. “I can’t accept this, it’s your money.”
“Sam look at me, you were like the daughter I never had. I only want the best for you. Keep it, and make sure you call me every once in awhile, to let me know how your doing. Okay?” he put the card in my purse that was slightly open. I thought back to all the times when was little and my aunt had to work late. Steven would always come over to watch me, he would play dress up with me, have tea time dressed as royalty, and he would read stories.
“I promise to keep in touch.” I hugged him. “I better get going; I don’t want to be late.”
“Alright, drive safe.”
I walked out of the front door of the building and walked across the street to my car. I looked to all of the people walking down the street. How I would miss the city. Then I saw an all too familiar hat. Alex. Hurriedly I opened the door, sat down, and started the car. He looked pissed and I wasn’t going to let him hurt me. I slammed mu foot on the gas pedal and sped on to the road. He was running on the sidewalk not to far behind though.
A huge group of people though walk right into him; he was fighting the crowd trying to get past. But I turned and lost him. Hopefully forever.
………………
I was driving across the country roads praying that perrie would be okay with me showing up two days early. I couldn’t stay In London too much longer though not if I didn’t want Alex to come and see me. She will be fine. In fact she will be thrilled that im there I tried to convince myself. It didn’t work to well. So I just turned up the radio and lost myself in the song. Singing at the top of my lungs.
