Don't let them see.

"I need help"

When I got inside I realized Frank and Lynda were not there. I'm not worried about it. They are probably out drinking or partying at a friend's house. I thought to myself. I decided to go upstairs to my room and get ready for bed. It is only 8:30 pm but I am exhausted. So I take a shower, brush my hair, do my skincare and go to bed. After 10 min I fell into a deep sleep.

Hadlee's POV
I was woken up by the front door slamming and Frank and Lynda arguing. I groaned and grabbed my phone to check the time. It was 9:45 pm. I was only sleeping for an hour and fifteen minutes. I tried to go back to sleep and just drown the noise out.
About 10 minutes later Lynda barraged into my room.
"Get up and get out of the house!" She screamed at me.
I was confused and shocked. I froze.... One thing I learned is never freeze.
"Are you deaf?! GET OUT! we have friends coming over and we don't want to be seen with someone like you!" She yelled getting closer to me.
"Y-yes ma'am." I replied.
"Good you have 5 minutes to get your shit and get the hell out!" She yelled walking out.

What the fuck am I going to do? I don't have anywhere to go. I can't call anybody. I'll just be a burden. Plus it is 26 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
I quickly packed my school bag. With my laptop(because I do online school), phone, earbuds, chargers and I also packed two sets of clothes. I also grabbed some of my self care items.
When they are like this, there is no telling when they will let me back. So, I need to be prepared. I quickly went down stairs and as I was about to leave Frank grabbed my arm.

"I hope you got everything. You are not welcome back! YOU'RE A DISAGREE! YOU ARE NOTHING!" he yelled as he punched my in the face multiple times. I could taste the blood in my mouth and I could feel it on my face.
"NOW GO! GET OUT OF MY FACE!" He yelled.
I quickly and painfully grabbed my bag and ran out of the house. 

I didn't know where I was going. I just kept walking. I walked for about 2  and a half hours. I was wearing shorts and a sweatshirt. I didn't even think to change. I finally got to a park and sat down on a bench. I pulled out my phone and looked at the contacts. I didn't want to call anyone, but I knew I had to. I knew that if I didn't get help I would die out here tonight. It was getting colder by the second.

As I was looking at my contacts I saw Scarlett's. I wasn't sure if I should talk to her, Or just stay out here. I decided to text her. If she doesn't answer then I'll know I deserve this. I thought before I decided to text her. Here goes nothing...

Shit. Shit. Shit. She's on her way here. What am I supposed to say. I can't tell her I am hurt... even tho I am 100% sure she will see the dried blood.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by me phone ringing. I looked at it and the caller ID said Scarlett. I took a deep breath and answered it.

"H-hello?" I answered quietly.
"Hadlee, it's Scarlett. I am almost there. I need you to be honest with me. Are you hurt?" She asked sounding worried.
"...yeah, but it's okay." I said hoping she would believe me.
"Ok hun, can you stay on the phone I just got here?" She asked.
"Mhm.." I responded feeling tired. Probably from being so cold. I was lying down on the bench curled in a ball. Then I see her running up to me with Mrs. Olsen. I could barely keep my eyes open.

"Hadlee, oh my god you are freezing!" Mrs. Olsen said as Scarlett took off her coat and laid it over me as she picked me up and put me in her car. I was in the backseat with Mrs. Olsen, Scarlett was driving.
I didn't know what was going on. I was actually scared.
"W-wh-where are we going?" I said weakly as I was shaking.
"Shh, it's okay. We are going to the hospital. We have to get you warm sweetie." Mrs. Olsen told me as my head was on her lap.
" 'm tired." I said as I started closing my eyes.

After 17 years she finally asked for help. Will it be what she needs, or will it be the opposite? Who knows...
