Run A One Direction fanfic

Chapter 1

Alex's pov

Run.

That was my only hope.

He was going to kill me if he caught me. I could hear his thundering footsteps and heavy breathing behind me as his body worked to catch me. I felt my feet slowing down and no matter how hard I tried to push them faster, they refused to move. I felt his large, callused hands wrap themselves around my neck and squeeze.

I shot upright in bed with my heart trying to pound out of my chest. It was just a dream.

"Breath, Alex." I told myself and tried to slow my heart rate. I heard my bedroom door creak open and I screamed at the top of my lungs. I whipped my head towards my door and saw my little 6-year-old sister, Anna staring at me with wide eyes.

"Awex, what's wong?" She said in her adorable baby voice.

"Nothing, Sweetie. Just a bad dream." I replied.

She waddled over to my bed and I noticed she was trailing her blanket behind her. Our mother gave it to her when she was just a baby and she almost never lets it go, even in the bathtub. I put my hands under her arms and pulled her onto my bed. She wrapped her small arms around my neck. She used to do this All the time with our mom before she left. Yeah, she left us because our dad abused her. I still can't believe she would abandon her two children like that, but she did and no matter how much I wish she would come and take us away, she never will.

"Awex, when is daddy coming home?" She asked.

He left last night to go to a bar and apparently he didn't come back and I honestly wasn't surprised.

"I'm not sure, Hon." I replied honestly.

I hope he never comes back. For the 17 years I've been alive, I've never hated anyone as much as I hate my father. He abuses my sister and I even worse than he did to my mother because he would attempt to sexually abuse us. Except I can't run like my mother, I'm too young to live on my own and I won't be able to make enough money to support my sister and I. I didn't realize I was crying in till I saw the tears glistening on my sister's hair. Anna pulled her head off of my shoulder and looked into my eyes and wiped the tears off of my cheek.

"Don't cry." She whispered as her eyes reflected my pain. I felt more fresh tears fill my eyes, and this time, they were for my sister.

"I love you, Baby. Never forget that." I said, my voice thick with tears as I pulled her small, bruised body closer to me. Just then, I heard the front door slam shut. Just great, he's home.

"Anna, go to your room and stay there in till I come and get you." I instruct her.

Her little head bobs up and down telling me she understands. I kiss her pink cheek as I set her down on the floor. She scurried out of the room and I let out a sigh of relief.

"At least she's safe." I told myself.

"ALEX!!! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" I heard his voice boom up from downstairs. I grudgingly climbed out of bed and walked down the stairs.

"What do you want?" I growled, glaring at his eyes that looked almost glazed over.

He lifted his hand and slapped me across the face.

"Don't take that tone with me, bitch!" He spat.

I narrowed my eyes at him as I rubbed my sore cheek.

"Go make me something to eat. I'm half starved" He grumbled as he eased himself onto a chair in front of the T.V. I stared down at his bulging gut and seriously doubted that. But doing as I was told, I slugged into the kitchen and pulled out a pan. I fanaticized about running away

with my sister while I cooked his eggs. Somewhere so far that my dad could never find us. Once I was done cooking I took the food out to his majesty.

"Here." I mumbled and dumped the

eggs in front of him.

"About time, you little brat." He picked up the plate and started scooping the eggs into his mouth with his bare, filthy hands. I wrinkled my nose up in disgust. I decided to make some eggs for Anna as well but I didn't make anything for myself. I find that I lose my appetite when I'm around dad, which sadly is most of the time. After the eggs were cooked, I brought the plate up to Anna's room.

"Hey baby girl, I have some eggs for you." I said as I opened the door. She was sitting in the corner of her room playing with an old and torn doll. When she saw my with the eggs, her green eyes that we shared lit up with joy.

"Tanks, Awex!" She cheered digging into the eggs like a starving lion pouncing on a wounded zebra. After a few minutes of her eating, she looked up from her plate at me.

"Awex, are you hungwy? You wook welly skinny." She asked. I decided I'd much rather turn this into a joke than actually deal with her question.

"Look who's talking, shrimp." I said, tickling her bony side making her erupt in a fit of giggles. She really is adorable with her honey colored curls and emerald green eyes. I could tell I was going to have a hard time chasing away the boys when she gets older. I looked at the clock on the wall and sighed.

"I have to go get ready for school. Just leave your dishes here and I'll take them down for you." I kissed her bouncy curls and walked across the hall to my room. I pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans and a white shirt. As you can tell, I don't really care about fashion and all that crap. I ran a brush through my hair while I walked across to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. After my morning breath was gone, I went into Anna's room and patted her curls as I walked by her.

I opened her closet.

"What do you want to wear today,

Sweetie?" I asked her while scanning her clothes, which she didn't have much of these days. She crawled over to the closet.

"PINK!" She squealed pointing at a pink shirt with a heart outlined in sequins.

"Ha-ha, ok ok! I'm getting it!" I giggled. I pulled out the shirt and a pair of mini blue jeans for Anna.

"Here you go." I handed her the clothes and helped her get into them.

"You look so pretty, Anna banana!" I complemented her using the nickname that I knew she loved. She giggled and hugged my legs. I glanced at the clock again and groaned. This is the part of the day that I hated the most, it's the time when I had to try and get Anna out of the house without our dad seeing her.
