MISSING PIECE - outer banks

Chapter one - RUN

I was in a place called Nassau, although I don't remember ever going there. I assumed my Dad had just used some of his sleeping pills again on me when he handed me that bottle of water. My dad had always done this. Always abused me and made the most out of my body, and honestly, I was so sick of it.

I walked down the packed streets before picking up a pace. What if I could get out of here. What if I could escape. I started running and I heard the faint sounds of my father behind me. "I'm going to find you Y/N" he yelled. I found an alleyway and hid behind a wall panting and hoping he wouldn't find me. "You have nowhere to go" he said "you may as well come back Y/N" I decided to go and make a run for it. I had only ever ran away from dad once, and once he found me he wouldn't let me sleep inside for two weeks and I would get punched every time I tried to talk to him. To sum him up, he was a drunk. A rich drunk. "Little bitch!" He shouted loud enough for me to hear "no wonder your mum left you" Tears formed in my eyes at the thought. I was the reason she was gone.

I found myself on the edge of a dock looking around for any boat I could rent with the $100 I got from my grandma for my birthday. I was about to step forward when I tripped over something. "Ouch" I whined. I got up and stared at what I had found. Boat keys. They had some numbers on them and I decided to try and find the boat they belonged to. Once I found it I looked around and got on, luckily it had a full tank. I mean, if the owner really wanted to use it, they would've been more careful with the keys.

And with that, I was off, to start a new adventure that made ME happy.
