Story Snippet : It Doesn't Continue / Soren's

cw // mention of death

Marlowe sighed and kneeled down in front of her. "Because you are my girlfriend and I love you. I understand that you need to get out of this house. I want us to be there for each other, and I don't want you dead before you get the chance to live." She pulled Soren to her feet. "I'm gonna get you out of here, away from your stupid, asshole dad."

Soren sniffled, she wiped away the tears from eyes. "Okay."

The two walked quietly over to the side of the street. Walking was a quite an effort, but neither of them had a car. Hitchhiking was also out of the question, the pair looked quite appetizing to criminals. Two scared, alone, teenage girls; both minorities. It's not like they could have fought off attackers either, they had the combined strength of a second grader.
