"happy birthday." josh smiled as he went in to hug me. "so what do you wanna do today?" he asked. "well i don't know." i answered back with no emotion.
i was turning sixteen today and i didn't feel any different. josh always made every single one of my birthdays special and i loved it.
i walked to my closet and put on the dress josh got me. i starred myself in the full body mirror. i didn't like the way i looked in dresses and the way you can see all my scars.
i walked out of my closet. josh smiled at me. "come on let's go." he said grabbing my hand and taking me out of my room.
i looked outside and saw pink balloons. "josh you didn't have to." i responded after being stunned by what he did. "no but i did." he smiled and told me blow out the candles.
i was worried our dad was going to come back and ruin it. time went by, it was night and i layed with josh under the stars. "promise me when we both leave this shithole we will have to best life ever." josh held out his pinky and i smile back. "i promise." i intertwined my pinky with his.
as we were about to lay back down, a car drove into our driveway as i panicked. "what the fuck is this?" dad yelled, he was pissed. "i'm throwing mia a party for her birthday, it's not like you would care." josh spat back as he kept his hand in mine.
later he punch josh in the face as i gasped. "what the hell." i yelled at him and went to help josh off the floor but i was pushed to the floor instead.
i watched josh get kicked in the stomach by him. i got up trying to stop him but he pushed me back. "get the fuck away leave." he yelled at my face as i stood there ahocked. "you're not useful here anyways." he added as i looked back down at josh, who was now bleeding.
i wanted to hold back my tear but i couldn't. "it's okay mia go, i'll be okay." josh said silently. i couldn't believe i was being kicked out of the house i was living in. i saw my dad throwing my things out of the house.
i grabbed my bag pulling it behind me as i walked away. i was not okay rightnow. i hated my life. i fixed my dress as i was now covered in dirt. i didn't bother to look back at josh or anyone.
after walking for an hour i walked into a store as i was getting looks from everyone. i didn't like crowded places. i walked in a isle and saw a girl with a hoodie on. they smiled at me and saw how i was dirty.
"hey are you okay?" she asked walking up to me. "i'm okay i just fell." i replied back as she nodded. "i'm sophia." she said back offering her hand as i took it. "mia." i smiled.
she offered me to stay at hers and i did. i still had to find a place to stay but she insisted i should live with her. i haven't told her about my dad but she knows about my brother, who sent money to me this month to make sure i'm okay. i didn't really spend the money he sent so i got a job at a cafe shop so i would get payed.
"so how old are you?" the lady asked me as she was filling in papers. "sixteen." i replied back with a smile. "you're hired." she finally responded as i thanked her.
sophia waited for me as i got into her car and we drove back home. it's only been a month since i was staying here. before i moved moved here i had call the police on our dad and was told that he was arrested and sentenced for three years.
i told josh to come here to stay with me but he declined and said he wanted to take care of mom and make sure she was okay too. she got addicted to drugs when our dad became abusive torwards us and of course i was worried for her life.
