Once again I was on the roof. I haven't seen Caleb up there for days. I finally saw him up on the roof. He turned to look at me to my surprise he was scared of what would happen if my dad saw him and I up here together. "Are you ok?" Caleb asked so quietly that I could hardly hear him. "Yah I am thanks for picking me up and putting me on my bed. I have been wanting to tell you but I haven't seen you in a while." I found out why he was scared. He had been reading my journal. The part he was most scared of was when I said "Sometimes I feel like crap and like everyone wants me to die! I'm tired of my dad treating me like I am the worst daughter in the world." After he asked me what happened last night he asked me why I don't leave and I said that I have always wanted to but I have nowhere else to go. By now the bruising was going away but when I went to sit by him he moved like he thought I would get even more hurt when he touched me. He finally said what was on his mind he said "Why don't you go to the police, or leave him, or even run away why do you stay and take it? When you see me you seem so happy but when you see him you seem so sad. I don't want you to..." I heard my dad's voice and so did Caleb "go so you don't get hurt again." He said. "When it is safe maybe we could talk threw the window again in the meantime see you later." I went down the stairs. To my surprise my dad wasn't mad this time when he saw me out of my room. This time was different I could tell. "What's wrong" I said. "Your mom just called me and she asked if she could get custody of you." For a couple of months my mom has be coming and we have been talking and she found out that my dad was beating me so she wanted me to live with her. In my mind I was saying yah but I knew that if mom won the custody battle that my dad would be really mad and he will try to hurt me. "When is the custody hearing?" I asked. "Tomorrow." At that point I was happy but all of a sudden my dad came at me for the last time in my life so I thought.
