Her saving Grace

Chapter 10

“Shut up you hilt h. You are only getting what you deserve.” Allan growled out. finally getting back to his old self.

Allan raised his hands which held the kettle gettin ready to throw the hot water at me. I finally reached the entrance to the kitchen, so as he dashed the water owards me, I run from the kitchen. I felt a hot burning sensation on my hand and I knew it caught m hand.

“You bitch! Get back here!” I heard Allan roared as I run from the house. I ran as fast as I could and I didn’t stop. afraid he might be after me. Although. I kn w he wouldn’t risk people seeing him chasing me.

With this knowledge in mind. I came to a halt and stop for a minute to catch my breath. I look down at my right hand and saw that it was becoming red fast. I knew I had to hide it but I didn’t want to risk going back home to change into a long sleeve top.

A thought struck me. I think I have a long sleeve sweater in my locker at school. I quickly hurried to school. hoping to reach there before anyone saw me.

When I reached school, I walked quietly to my loc er and opened it. I took a big sigh of relief when 1 saw the sweater in my locker. I took it out quickly and went to the bathroom. I changed tops quickly and went to homeroom before the bell rang.

My friends were already in homeroom when I got here. I sat beside Kevin, who was looking at me quizzically. I returned his look with a raised eyebrow.

“Kayla, you do realize that we are still in summer, ight?” He asked. I nodded. “So why are you in a long sleeve?” He asked.
