My legs hurting my lungs on fire my breath heavy I ran, I ran till I couldn't run any longer. But that's what I do running helps me think it helps me cope with the pain it makes the voices in my head go quiet.

I've been running since I was 8 when I had found out my mother passed away due to her abusive boyfriend I couldn't possibly think about living in a world without my mom in it my dad had tried to stop me but I slipped through his fingers

I had found a trail that led into the forest that day, it didn't bother me I had always found the forest beautiful I never found it scary it was a place to hide from this terrible world. I stayed there till it was time to go back I had ended up getting lost and had to ask a stranger for help

They took me to the police station and 15 minutes later my dad walked in looking scared and worried

He saw me and ran up to me giving me the biggest hug. I was confused then I hadn't known why he was scared and worried now looking back I knew why

He had just lost his ex wife. But she wasn't his ex wife that's not how he viewed her he viewed her as his best friend his soulmate when they had got divorced he wasn't upset or hurt he knew this wasn't the end of their relationship

I was three when they divorced. They would always throw big birthday parties for me and we would do so much together as a family so it didn't affect me as much as it did other kids.

Four years later my mom comes home with another guy his name was Matthew Preston he was sweet at first I might of only been seven at the time but I saw he would treat my mom good until a couple months later I saw a bruise on her arm and as the months continued I saw more and more bruises I asked my dad if she was okay cus I saw bruises and he had asked her but she brushed it off acting like everything was okay but it wasn't

It was my 8th birthday party and my mom said she would be late two hours later I was still waiting for her but it was getting late so my dad said it was time to do cake and presents I had no other choice but then to listen to him I had gotten really nice toys and clothes but my mind was worried about my mom

It was 12pm when I heard a ambulance down the road I looked out my window and saw a car and police surrounding it I didnt know what it was so I just went to bed till the next morning my dad woke me up asking for me to go downstairs because the police men were here

I wish I didn't go down there the police men told me that my mom has passed away the night before

She was found dead in a car just down the road where I saw the ambulance and police cars her boyfriend and her were fighting because he thought she was cheating on him with my dad till the fight got so physical that he ended up beating her so bad that she died

When he had realized he killed her he ran and he's been on the run ever since

Crazy to think while I was waiting for my mom to show up she was right outside the entire time she just wasn't alive and thats when I ran

I ran out the house from the police men from my dad from reality I didn't want to believe she was dead that my mother was dead

My name is Alexandria Chavez Alex for short and this is my story.
