The Runaway

I Can't Do It

"Leah just shut up before I slap you" Jennifer (Leah's mom) said angrily and agitated. "Go ahead I should be used to it now" Leah said. Jennifer slapped Leah so hard her face started throbbing immediately. "Is that what you wanted because it sure is what you deserved" Jennifer said with a proud voice. Leah ran out of the room crying! "Well you asked for it" Jennifer shouted. Leah ran into her room and flung herself on the bed. "Why is she so mean to me? Does she hate me?" Leah said crying hestarically and out of breath. She walked into the bathroom to look at her face. Her face was purple with dots of red from her crying. "I hate myself so much. I am stupid, ugly, worthless, fat" she cried out. "Why do things have to be this way?" She cried. Jennifer walked into the room with Leah's dad Jason. "Leah what is wrong with you?" Jason yelled. "I don't even know what I did" Leah said desperately. "Someone please explain to me what I did" she said. "You fat, ugly, stupid child you didn't take out the trash" Jason yelled angrily. "You are hitting me and screaming at me because I didn't take out the trash" Leah said gasping for air through her tears. "Stop crying right now before I hit you" Jason yelled. I tried so hard to hold it in, to not breath, but I couldn't do it. I started crying louder. He punched me right in the face I screamed as pain went throughout my whole body. I was overwhelmed with fear and pain. Blood started to pour out of my nose into my clothes and my bed. I ran to the bathroom and held a tissue to my nose. I was a my breaking point I couldn't take it any more. So all throughout that night thoughts were running through my head. I was planning my escape. I was going to runaway and never come back
