Her bottom lip shook violently, as her aunt continued to yell at her out of nowhere a hand swept across Katie's face. Her chest heaved up and down as the tears rolled down her face. Before she could get hit again, she jumped up and ran out of the house crying."Get your little ungrateful ass back here!" her aunt yelled at her as she ran down the street. Hearing the rage in her aunts' voice made her run faster and further from the place where she never really felt wanted. The oncoming ache in her legs made her stop running and take a look at where she was. It took a minute for her to take in her surroundings, once she calmed down she realized she was standing in front of Ashtons' house. Ashton had been her best friend since grade school, he knew everything about her, including how her aunt had been abusive to her ever since her mother had passed away. Katie went over to the side gate, opened it up and made her way to the side door. Opening up the screen she tapped on the main door and waited for someone to answer. Two minutes had passed before Ashton appeared in the doorway.
"She hit you again didn't she?" he asked, noticing Katies' freshly bruised lip.
