I feel the warm tears sting my face as I wish I was dead. All I can hear are the names my father, Jason, calls me. I scream out in pain as I feel a knife being dragged across my thigh, blood trickles out. 

"What did I ever do to you?" I yell. I immediately get a response: a cold, hard slap on my cheek, leaving his hand print behind. My face stings as a tear slides down my face. 

I'm in the freezing  kitchen getting abused because my father's food wasn't done in the time he wanted it, it's fair, right?  What did I ever do to deserve this?  I didn't choose to be born. Sometimes I wish I never was; I wish I could disappear. No one would care; No one would notice.

"Go to your room, now!" He demands me. I nod, and walk into my room. It isn't what you would think. Or maybe it is, but it's just a mat on the ground. A ripped  up sheet and a pillow case filled with hay. It's not much, but it's all I have.

"Jade." I hear Jason call to me, and my stomach ties into knots. "Sir?" I ask, my voice quivering. " I'm going to the bar. Be at the door waiting for me when I get back. Got it?" My anger scorns my chest. "Yes, Sir." I reply flatly.

This is it. I can't take it anymore. I have to get out, I'll die if I don't. I can't stay here. It's better to try then to end up stuck in this house working as a slave.  I grab my things. I pack clothes into my pillow case and grab the loose change I was saving to get a warm meal. 

I look out my window one last time, then I leave, walking through the door. I get teary eyed when I realize I have nothing and no one.

 I'm going to California.
