"NO PLEASE STOP!" my mum screamed trying to defend herself, but my dad was to tough and he got a good punch to my mums, face i was watching  from the doorway in horror

i always knew my dad had a bad temper but i had never seen him hit my mum before.
I ran over to my mum and stood over her protectively

"STOP DAD WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?!"
I screamed in his face "honey just got back to your room and play with your barbie crap" he said in an angry tone "NOT UNTIL YOU STOP HURTING MUMMY " i screamed by this time i was pissed at him for hurting mum

she was still sitting on the floor crying and holding her face where he had hit her "honey im not going to tell you again GO TO YOUR ROOM!" i flinced at his voice but didn't stand down i was still standing infront of my mum, "and im not going to tell you again stop hurting mum " just as i said that he punched me square in the face

it hurt alot but i didn't back down i stood my ground he punched me again harder and i fell to the ground in pain he took the opitunity to kick me in the stomach i groaned in pain mum looked up at me

I saw the hurt, fear,sympathy and most of all proudness in her eyes, 'dad' or mark walked out of the room and went upstairs to his room, my mum and him had been staying in seperate rooms, i didn't think much of it as i was just a 10 year old girl.
Mum crawled over to me to check me out i had a bruised eye and cheek they were starting to turn purple but i didn't care.

"oh baby im so sorry i didn't think he would hurt you and thank you, thank you so much for sticking up for me" she said with tears running down her face "mum we need to get out i have a plan just go and get packed without dad noticing ok?"

i said to her i was pretty smart for an average 10 year old but the truth was i had no idea of a plan all i knew was that i had to get me and my mum out of here and away from that monster i used to call a father i ran into my room and packed all my clothes,shoes,toys,and pictures all into my suitcase which was almost as big as i was i quickly grabbed it and got some pillows and blankets i ran to mums car and stuffed my bag into the boot and went into the passanger seat

mum walked out a minute later with all her stuff and put it in the boot then got in the drivers seat. She pulled out of the garage and drove down the street and parked on the side of the road "so honey any plans ?" my mum said her voice cracking i knew i had to be strong

"first we need to go to hospital and get checked up and stuff then we will stay at a hotel for the night and then in the morning we will drive to grandma and grandpa's" i said mum just nodded and drove to the hospital.

once we got checked out, we went and checked into a hotel.
I was so tired i just changed into my pj's and went straight to bed even though it was only 7:30.

"Alexis come on honey rise and shine" mum whispered in my ear i looked at the clock it read 8:39 in the morning "sorry i woke you so early but we need to get going because it is going to take all day to get to grandma and grandpa's "

"ok " i mumbled i sat up and looked around the hotel i was so tired i forgot to look around it was really nice it had a double bed with a kitchen bathroom and lounge.

I smelt the bacon filled air mum had made bacon,eggs,toast and hash browns after breakfast i went and had a shower by then it was already 9:10 once we got on the road we didn't stop untill 12:30 to stretch our legs and have lunch at maccas it was a 5 hour drive to grandma and grabdpa's
we still had about 2 hours untill we got to New York where my family where.
once we got there we were greeted by my:
cousins,auntys,uncles,grandmas and grandpa's we got out of the car and went and said hello to everyone we stayed at g&gs for 3 months untill mum brought her own place and got a full time job as a lawyer

because she called her old boss and got herself transfered i was going to school and finally i was happy and so was my mum untill the day my mum started throwing up every morning for about 2 weeks she went to the doctors and they told her she was pregnant.

5 months later my brother Blake was born.
