Claire's POV
I stood looking across the road. The sweat streaking my face not because I was running but consequently of anxiety. I leaped, ready to run across. "Claire! Wait" I heard him yell. I didn't dare look back. The cars speedily drove not allowing me to cross again. I heard the footsteps coming closer towards me. "Clai-" he begun but I cut him off. "Stop! Don't come any closer" I warned him. He threw his hands in the air. "Ok. But listen to me" he surrendered. I glanced back every second hoping the traffic would recede but I had no such luck whatsoever.
"Let me help you" he pleaded. What could he do? I wondered but remained silent. "I am here for you Claire, always have been" he continued. I shook my head in frustration and continued glancing backwards. "Just come with me" "why?" I finally shouted since the cars were making a lot of noise. His expression softened and he took a step forward "Because I made a promise to your mother that I will take care of you" I was distraught. My heart began to palpitate. I felt weak in my knees as he uttered those words, 'My mother'
I let loose the breath I didn't know I was holding. "Just please let me keep my promise" he whispered as he came closer. He reached for my hand and pulled me towards him. "No!" I fought but he held unto my arm tightly. "Stop struggling Claire" he said firmly and I saw my step dad replace chad. He pulled me as if he was about to throw me off the edge again. I relived the horrifying moment once more. I was terrified. I fought and finally got loose from his captivity. Only to know that the impact landed me in the road.
"Claire!" I heard chad shouted and I looked ahead of me. All I saw was a massive truck honking at me but my feet were stubborn. I couldn't move so sudden. I glanced back at Chad. Maybe for the last time. Before I could scream, I was hit into the air and unto another vehicle. That vehicle tossed me back and forth on its bonnet then landed me face first unto the rock solid asphalt.
I was paralyzed. My vision got blurry. I gasped for breath but it was like inhaling smoke. I couldn't breathe. My own blood was drowning me from the inside. Chad and some other people gathered over me. "Stay with me Claire. Please" he screamed. I could barely hear anything except his voice.
I began to close my eyes gently. "No! Please don't close your eyes" he screamed again. But I can't feel the pain when I do. I wanted to tell him but my voice was soundless.
He began to cry when a tear escaped my eye. My eyelids involuntarily closed and I could no longer hear a thing.
This is it, I guess. Wherever I go I will meet my mom again.

Oh boo hoo hoo
