Then my breakfast.

Then I’m going to convince myself Seth isn’t nearly as hot as he looks.

And then I’m going to plot my escape for tonight.

Chapter 5

Ipull at the cuff and it hurts.

My ankle bone is too big.

Of course it is.

I can wiggle my foot. I can twist, turn and pull.

But I can’t get the cuff over my ankle bone.

I try to point my foot down as far as I can.

I push on the metal cuff and it hurts.

It fucking really hurts.

Tears fill my eyes and I have to stop.

I’m starting to think my only chance at a real escape here is to suck it up and break my ankle. Shatter that big bone that’s in the way.

Then my foot will slide right out.

But that means I’ll have to somehow get to the basement steps and climb them and get out of Seth’s house with one good foot.

And even when I get out of here, then what?

I don’t have a phone.

I obviously know where Seth lives.

I just have no real way of escaping.

At least not without two functioning feet.

Breaking my ankle is out of the question.

I crunch to my left side and lose my breath.

A time like this I wish I had known my real family because if they were rich I could have maybe been in some kind of dance or ballet classes and would be much more flexible than I am right now.

I hook my finger into the other cuff and I pull it.

It’s metal.

I’m stuck.

I have to figure something out.

I shut my eyes and pull over and over, gritting my teeth.

I’m really ready to just start screaming and see what happens.
