I drove off and Brenda quickly brought him back inside. " Thomas what were you thinking!" Brenda said annoyed.

He didn't say anything and went back in with Brenda. I was so focused on all my thoughts that I wasn't paying attention to the road. I almost hit something and swerved to the right.

My car flipped and i hit my head against the steering wheel. Everyone rushed over and my seatbelt was stuck. Jorge was talking when he got a message that I had been in a wreck.

"Elodie crashed her car, I'll be right back. Brenda stay here." Jorge said "is she okay?" One of the gladers said. "I don't know" Jorge said

"can we come with?" One of the gladers asked. "Absolutely not." Jorge said annoyed.

He ran out to his jeep and drove to where I was. When he got there he saw me standing next to my dad and he was screaming at me.

I had a bruise on my face and a little cut on my lip but I was okay. "Elodie are you alright?" Jorge said concerned. "Yea I'm fine-" I said before getting cut off by my dad

"you know what you are?! Grounded. Lets go." He said angry. He pushed me towards his other messed up car and drove to the house.

Jorge got back and let them know I was okay. When I got to my house, my dad slammed the door behind him.

"what were you thinking?!" He said angrier than usual." I'm fine thanks for ask-" I was cut off by a large stinging feeling on my face. He slapped me.

My dad slapped me...

"Go to ur room now!" He said really angry. I looked at him horrified and walked to my room.

I packed a bag and snuck out like I usually do when he's mad. I ran to Jorge's and when I got there I climbed into his window.

The teenagers were sleeping on the floor and i scared them when climbing in."what are you doing!" Thomas said barely awake but still freaked out.

"my old man hit me, where Jorge?" I said . One of them pointed to the left." Thanks." I said before shutting the window and walking around them.

"Hey, are you okay?" One Glader asked. I smiled.
"No ones okay around here. Yall don't understand how good you had it." I said leaving them speechless.

I left the room and they looked at each other. I found Jorge and Brenda and they looked at me shocked.

" you got beat up huh?" She said not sounding surprised because this happens often.
I smiled." Hit my face on the steering wheel, nothing to bad." I said my voice breaking a little.

I walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water.
"So what's up with those wckd kids." I said sarcastically.

"your a kid too Elodie." Brenda said as if she's not a year older than me."you're all around 16." Jorge said.

"Yea but im not with wckd." I said and they stopped talking. I smiled and sat next to them. "Why aren't you at your dad's?" Jorge said confused.

" I just wanted to say hi since I left earlier today-" I said until I got interrupted.

AGAIN..

"He hit her." I looked at the door and saw three boys. "What?" Jorge said still confused. "It was nothing." I said trying to change the subject.

I gave them a stern look and they walked into the room. "Who even are you guys?" I said still not knowing there names.

"I'm newt" one guy says. "Minho." Another one says.

"You know me." Thomas said and looked down.
"Anyway! I gotta go, my dad will kill me if he knew I left." I said getting up. I smiled and walked back out.

I was going down the stairs and Thomas ran after me. "Hey Elodie wait!" Thomas said catching up to you. I looked at him and smiled

"what's up golden boy?" I said giving him a nickname. He smiled " why do you go back when all he does is yell and hit you?" Thomas said confused.

" he's all I got." I said trying not to think of my mom. Jorge looked down from the landing. " be back tomorrow by 8am" He said.

"Got it, by Tommy!" I said, I smiled and left the building. I snuck back in through my window and went straight to sleep.
