Claire
I need to get away with James... That was all I had in mind as I opened my eyes. I expected to see Frank punching my Mom, but instead, I was staring at the ceiling of an unfamiliar room.
Where is James?! I tried to sit up but I couldn't move my body. What happened to me? The last thing I could remember was grabbing James and trying to leave the house when Frank grabbed me.
"It's okay, Claire, you're okay." I saw someone's face peering at me, smiling so sweetly. I've never met him before but he was so good looking and his eyes were beautiful. Wait! He just called my name, does he know who I am?
I tried to talk but my throat was so dry, talking was impossible. What really happened? Where am I and where is my little brother?
"Don't worry, Jacey went to get your Dad." The boy said, giving me a concerned look. He held my left hand but I could hardly feel it.
