Chapter 38

"Johnny!" I called out as he started to walk away from me.

"Please don't leave me," I sobbed. "I don't have anyone else."

"He won't safe you this time, he saw the monster you are when you killed your sister, now I'm going to kill you and throw you in a ditch like the piece of trash you are", I feel my father whisper in my ears and a sting on my back when I look down a knife sticks out in front of me.

"No!" I bolted up into a sitting position on my bed.

"Alessia!" Johnny said running in.

"Are you alright?" He asked concern clear in his eyes.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks when he pulled me into his chest immediately, holding me so close that his afraid I will disappear.

My eyes went wide and I felt tensed for a second, but I relaxed into his embrace, breathing in his scent and taking in his warmth.

My heart beats rapidly in my chest that I think it would explode any minute now.
