Chapter 1

I woke up in a puddle of sweat. My dream had been worse then the others. My dream had been about my mom and dad getting murdered and me getting kidnapped. I thought to myself about the dream before pushing it out of my mind. How could I think of such a thing! My parents dying,! That was something terrible I did not want to happen even though my dad was such an asshole and my mom a whore! No literally she was a whore! She worked at a near by strip club, she promised me only to serve beer to the men but then they offered her a higher position. Stripping then it was private dances then it was sleeping with men for money! You think my dad would care! Uh no he doesn't because he comes home drunk every night. You'd think that why don't they get divorced?. No they didn't. I'm pretty sure they stayed together because of me. I don't know why though I can't get a boyfriend to save my life I have no friends sometimes I show up to school with a red face because my dad's too drunk to not hit me when he's mad plus I'm pretty sure my mom works at the strip club so she can get away from him leaving me with all the beating from him.

Thanks mom I appreciate it.

Anyways. I sat up from bed hoping that dream wouldn't come back to bite me in the ass. I walked to the bathroom and took a warm shower and brushed my dark brown hair then I put on some light eyeliner over my hazel eyes, after that I went to my dresser throwing on a thin blue sweater and I slid on some pale jeans, after putting on some shoes I headed out my bedroom and down stairs. No one was home today my dad was at the bar drinking, My mom at the club. So it was just me. I went up to my moms room and stole some money for breakfast, since we never had any in the house. I put on my red sneakers and headed out the door not locking it because there was nothing to steal no tv, my dad pawned that. No expensive jewels, my dad pawned that too. All my mom had was a plain desk with only blush, lipstick , and a hair brush, that's all she needed anyway, it wasn't like she was gonna need to be pretty old nasty men were gonna wipe it all off her face anyways. I guess that's why my dad pawned it. I walked down a back road on the path leading to a Francis burger palace, were they served the best burgers, my dad and I would come here to eat all the time back then. But now he was just some drunk fool stumbling around to find some one to hit.

I made my way into the old shack and sat down were the usual waiter catered me. She asked what i wanted knowing already. " Cheese hamburger please " the lady nodded and proceeded into the kitchen were she would remain for the next 15 minutes. Which left me to my thoughts. I thought of the dream again but quickly shook it out of my mind, I put my hands over my face in thought when a sound disturbed my silence. Thunder it sounded like, before I knew it rain was pouring down on the windows like a water pipe broke. I sighed out of frustration, I would have to walk home in this. Before I could think anymore on the thought a plate being put on the table disturbed me again. The familiar lady that served me was watching me curiously before I could say anything she asked if I was ok . " I'm fine liana just thinking that's all " I managed to work up a smile so she would believe me, she did and simply nodded walking to a different table. I started on my hamburger. After I was finished i left the money on the table and walked out where the rain was. I covered my head as the rain started hitting me, I ran down a covered ally, and started to walk until I heard a door open, when I turned around I gasped at the.....
