15 B

Ava made her decision and hauled herself quickly onto the window sill. Not giving herself time to think and back out or be caught, she pushed off the rotten wood and flew through the air, past grimy windows of other flats, and into the alleyways below.

She landed with a sickening crunch on the cobblestoned streets, and felt her leg break beneath her. She knew what a leg braking felt like, once her dad had grabbed hold of her and snapped her leg bone on two. It was excruciatingly painful, and Ava had screamed in agony so loud when her dad had snapped her leg that they'd had the old man from the flat upstairs coming round and complaining. Her dad hadn't been in a very good mood and went out to 'teach him a lesson to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business'. Let's just say the man had never visited again.

She could hear her dad pounding down the stairs of the flats and so Ava pulled herself up and hobbled along, supporting herself of the road. Luckily for her the main road wasn't too far away, and when she hobbled out of the maze of alleyways and collapsed on the pavement, she collapsed at the feet of a policeman.

By the time Ava's dad had come hurtling out of the alleyways Ava had been lied red up and carried to the other side of the road by the policeman. The man had then called for reinforcements and begin to carry her to the hospital. Her dad was arrested as soon as he emerged from the shadows and was dragged into a police van and off to the prisons.

While the police man carried her to the hospital, Ava told him everything. She started with her mum leaving 5 years ago, then went right through until about 5 minutes before, when se had collapsed at his feet. She missed nothing: every attack, every injury, every pain, every night outside was listed.

Then they finally arrived the hospital the police man just walked straight through the waiting room and I a special ward that was called the 'victim ward'. He asked for couple of her details which he write die on a clipboard, then left her as Ava settled down for a nap.
