Amelia Dixon, 16, beautiful and smart. Type of person every parent wants their kid to be. The one person everyone what's to be, lovely person, lovely house, lovely parents... or that's what everyone thought.

(Amelia pov)
I can't stand my parents. They're drug addicts, though no one knew. Abusive dad, psycho mom, the parents I deserve? I don't know I try and try to make them happy, never ends good.

Good grades? Yes. They never cared, my dad, Charlie, and mom, Vanessa are the worst parents ever. Everyone thinks they're angels. i was never scared of anything accept my parents. I called DCS so many times, Cheryl never did anything. So many times I begged for help. I showed her my scars, my burns, the blood on my bed. Nothing. She didn't do shit. Probably payed off by my parents.

Every time I called DCS my parents would beat me. My dad took the fire poker burned it pushed its against my skin and burn me, stab my arm with it. My mom she was tough on me, every time she saw me cry she dragged me to the bath tub, drowned me until I was relaxed, if I showed any signs of fear she'll hold me there longer. They would shoot guns that nearly missed me, learned not to flinch cause of that.

Now that that's been going on for a while it's like a routine, it's doesn't bother me. Until they told me I was getting a sibling. My heart dropped, I didn't want my sibling to grow up with them the way I did. It deserves a better life. I knew I had to do something.

I needed to get help... but not here. They would find me. The ferry? No, to many people, they would easily find me. My dads boat! It's perfect. I need to go. For my sibling.

(Few hours later)

I knew that I had to do. I need to leave. For mine and my siblings sakes.

I'm only taking a couple of things. Just a couple of clothes and food. Most importantly money.

I crept downstairs and into my parents study. I knew they had some money there. I took $300 that's more then enough.

I felt horrible for leaving. What if something bad happens while I'm gone? Is this the best thing?

I shook those thoughts out of my head and didn't look back. I left my house. Headed to the boat, put everything in it and went to get enough gas to get far away so they wouldn't find me.

After getting gas I finally left. Ever turned back once. This is the best thing I could've ever thought of. The best thing for me and my unborn sibling I just need to find a place to survive in the new place.

I had enough food and water to make it pretty far from my house. I needed to make sure they wouldn't find me. That would ruin everything and I don't wanna think about what they would do if they found me. I already know they'll be mad at me for leaving so I don't want to get found.

After driving for a while I knew I was far enough from my parents. I hid the boat, and started walking. I found sign of where I was... Kildare?... outer banks..
