10th July 2021

The sound of glasses breaking and shouting drowning out the house woke me up , i glance over at my alarm clock .
*3:23am*
*fuck i just got dejavue*
Suddenly memories invaded my brain , sending into a state of confusion .
I waited for the house to go quiet while i lay in bed , thoughts rushing through my mind .
Once no more shouting could be heard and i knew my parents had gone to sleep , i cautiously got out of bed and checked the calendar.
It read '10th of July'
a couple months before my 19th birthday .

So.. let me re introduce myself.
Im Y/n Y/l/n and i'm 18 , not 20.
I live in the normal world with normal people, not in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
The story with my family is exactly the same , except we aren't a powerful wizard family , were just a normal... fucked up family .
And i was asleep for a long time.

For more context i use shifting to cope , yes , i have other..issues , but i shift to give myself a sense of hope , i have been since i was incredible young , thats how i've known Bella for so long. Some might say its fake , but that other life is incredibly real to me and incredibly meaningful .
As of now i'm stood in the middle of my room , completely conflicted .

I walked to my bathroom and sat with my back against the door , head in my hands , letting out deep breaths .
* i need to go back , i need to fucking go back*
I thought for a second..i cant stay here , i know exactly what will happen , i've already experienced it , in a few short hours when my dad wakes up , he'll hurt me . Thats when i decided i need to leave right now.

I silently tip toed around my room , packing the essentials - a few changes of clothes , all the money i had , passports and IDs , sentimental objects , food , hygiene products and a blanket .
I looked down at the rose tattoo on my hand and let out a sad sigh .
Hastily , i changed into some brown jeans , a white jumper and a brown sleeveless coat .
I hurried to put on my socks and shoes and grabbed my bag .

I was 18 , so if i left , my father or mother had no right to come looking for me

I was 18 , so if i left , my father or mother had no right to come looking for me . I was never permitted to leave , and i was always to scared to , but after my experience i've finally gathered the courage to flee this unbearable place .
My bedroom was on the first floor , so i could easily climb out of my window .

I paused for a second , listening for any noise .
*is this the right thing to do?* i questioned myself.
*fuck it, yes i need to go right now*

After all , if i live life waiting to be ready , i would hardly live at all .
I quietly opened my window and softly placed my bag outside , before carefully stepping out onto the cold ground .
Usually summer means its meant to be warm , but i was blessed to live in the UK , so guess what ? its freezing.
I began walking , turning around to take one last look at my 'home' , before continuing down the road to the nearest bus stop .
