My heart pounded with fear. I listened for dad everytime I took a step down the stairs. He was sitting on the couch in the livingroom with the TV on high volume.
He was holding a beer in his hand. There was no chance he would discover me. As soon as I was out on the street, I began running.
Joy spread in my body to finally be free. But I had no idea where I was going. My entire body hurt after the abuse. Deep purple bruises and scars covered my skin . My stomach screamed of hunger. I stopped when I came to a bridge. I crawled under the bridge and lay down on the cold hard ground. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. The stars lit up the dark sky.

Gladys's: POV
"I'm going to find Adam." I said. "He can be everywhere." replied FP. "I think I know where he is." I said. I put on my jacket and walked out. I lit my flashlight and searched for Adam.
I know he's alive, I hope he is. I found him sleeping under a bridge. I wrapped a blanket around him. I picked him up in my arms and started going home.
"I found him." I said. "Thank godness." he replied. "He needs to sleep." I said. I put him on the couch and put the blanket on him. FP gave him some water. "Dad, stop." said Adam in his sleep. Me and FP looked at each other and tears filled my eyes. "You're safe now." I whispered. "Thank you Gladys." he said.
