        I walk of the bus and walk to the door I what for the bus to drive off before I walk inside I take a

deep breath and turn the handle. When I step inside I hear screaming again this time I don't even listen 

to there argument this time. I grab the sugar off the counter and run to my room I sit on my bed and take

my third best friend (my knife) and do the same thing blood starts to run down again. When I'm done I

I put the sugar on and wait.

                

                After awhile I put on some more jeans and walk out of my room,but I wish I didn't.

My mom starts yelling at my dad and my dad slaps her she falls over and I see her face its red and

there are tears streaming down her face. My dad takes a step towards me and my mom starts yelling no  

he is holding a paddle and he grabs me by the arm and his fingers dig into my skin and he swings I

close my eyes and prepare for the pain, it stings pain crawls up my whole body and I fall to the ground

and I lay there out of breath. I stand up and run to my room and I lock the door and cry on my bed.

        I look at my alarm clock and see that its 1:00 in the morning I grab a bag and start putting clothes in

it.

I take every thing I can and when I'm done I go to the kitchen quietly and get food. When I get back in

my room I grab

my school clothes and put those in a separate bag and grab my school stuff. Finally I look around and

see that the only thing that I haven't put in a bag is a photo of me and my parents, I slowly step towards

it and pick it up my parents have there arms are around me and were all smiling and we look happy

and I know I was happy. I walk over to my window and open it I feel the chilly night air wipe my hair

around and around my head I place one foot out the window and step on to the ground and then finally,

I get out the window and I take a few steps and then I stop turn around and look at the place were I was

raised the place were I was once happy and know the place. The place that I loved and hated at the

same time, I start to feel tears and I walk to my bike and peddle away from my misery.

        I get to Emma's house and slowly climb up the side of her house when I get to her window I lightly

knock on the glass and wait and eventually I hear movement and see Emma open the window and I climb

in "hi" I say

"do you want to tell me what your doing at 2:00 in the morning knocking on my window" Emma gets

grouchy at night " I ran away" I say shamefully she looks taken aback by my comment and I don't blame

her. " why" she asks

"my dad hit me," I say "can I stay here"

" you can spend the night and in the morning we can ask my mom if you can stay for good"

"OK" Emma gets out her sleeping bag and blankets and I change in the bathroom when I step out Emma  

gives me a wrapped box with a big blue bow on top " Happy early B-day" my birthday is in two days and

my parents forgot they have forgotten my birthday for two years in a row (what great parents) I look at

Emma and say thank you, I start to get teary eyed and I wipe my eyes. I open the box and there is the

prettiest necklace I've ever seen there is a blue stone on a necklace and a silver S is painted on the

stone " I hope you like it" Emma says

"like it I love it" I hug Emma and put the necklace on and admire myself in the mirror "Thank you" I say 

I sit down on my sleeping bag and lay down and try to fall asleep.

        I can't sleep I keep having night mares finally I sit up and I look at the picture I took from my house. 

I look closely at the picture and realize that this picture was taken three years ago when I was eleven

and its the last time my father smiled. I start to cry and don't stop by the time I do stop the sun is already

coming up and birds are chirping.
