To Get Away

Kamori

I walked home that day in silence. I thought about what had happened that day. Ms.Tims really wanted me to write in the paper. Lost in my thought before I knew it I was at home. Well at least that's what my dad called it. It hasn't been much of a home since my mom started taking those drugs. Anyways I walked up to the front door. I stood there and gawked at the door. I had a key, chose not to use it. I almost walked away when I heard my little sister scream. And my little brother yell "No she's sorry she didn't mean to" I fumbled for my key. I found it, jolted open the door and ran inside. I was met with the sight of
Erin being grabbed by my mom. My mother had her arm cocked back about to punch my little sister. I saw my little brother kamori attached to her leg, pleading with my mother. I quickly ran to my sisters side and covered her completely with my body. My mom told me to move. I couldn't do that. She told me again to move. I didn't. My mom said "If you don't move I'm gonna beat your ass to" I knew she wasn't bluffing. I got scared and prepared to get hit.

"Slap"

I felt her hand make contact with my face. I braced for another. That soon came, and another, and another, and another. She was about to hit me again, i braced for it. I heard a slap but I knew she didn't hit me. I opened my eyes, Kamori was on the ground crying she had let my arm go I fell back on my sister. My mother walked over to my brother who was on the ground crying. She bent over grabbed him. I got scared but at the moment to weak to do anything. All I could do was watch.

She had him in her grasp, look him dead in the eye and jus stared at him. I could see the fear in his face. She punched him in the face and threw him on the ground. She stood over him and just looked. She then kicked him in the stomach. He screamed out in pain. I hurriedly got up and ran to his side. I picked him up and wrapped his hands round my neck and legs around waist. His head lay on my shoulder. I felt him cry I didn't know what to do. I ran up to my room and layed him on my bed. I went into my bathroom got out a first aid kit and went back to my brother's side. His face was cut and bleeding. I patched him up and he was still crying. I touched his stomach and he scrunched up in pain. And he said "Jay I don't fell right" Just as he said that blood came from his mouth. I knew something was wrong. I told Erin to go grab a pair of shoes for her and Kamori she ran out the room and did so. I checked the time it was about 5:15. I knew if we went to the hospital now we wouldn't leave till late. So I prepped us to be there long. I left him laying on the bed and told Erin to watch him. I went down stairs with a back pack, I grabbed fruit snacks, chips, poptart, and some caprisuns. I went back upstairs and grabbed my charger, two blankets, a small pillow and a change of clothes for us 3. I looked under my pillow and grabbed a small box. I had some money I saved up from doing chores for my neighbor. I had about 23 dollars left. I grabbed it all and put it in my pocket. I put a jacket on kamori who had fallen asleep. I told Erin to put a jacket on. I picked him up and grabbed her hand. I couldn't leave her here with mom. We walked down stairs, towards the door. I opened the door and was about to walk out when I heard my mother's voice say "where do you think you're going." I turned around fast and looked deep in her eyes. She was high. I said "Out." Walked away and closed the door.
