When You Run Away From Home (on hold)

Chapter 1

   Destiny's: POV

"Dad Stop!!" I yelled. I hate him so much.

My dad was drunk and depressed. My mom has Cancer of the liver. She only had days.

"BRAT", he yelled as he smacked me on the face. Then he knocked me on the floor having me pinned down. I tried to wiggle out of his grasp but it was no use.

My sister ran downstairs knowing what was happening , since it happens quite a lot . Were half sisters related by my dad. Her mom passed away before I was born and my  mom took care of her as her own. She ran to my dad trying to pry him off of me. I am 14 and she is 17 so she has a more strength than I do. Since my dad was in this state of depression, I depend on her.

"GET OFF OF HER'', Jamie yelled. She pulled his hair and he groaned in pain.

Big mistake.

He let go of me and started to hit her. She started fighting  back. She was screaming too.

HUGE mistake.

Then he pinned her on the floor started to choke her. I saw the life coming out of her. I coudn't let her die. She's too important to me.

On an instinct I ran and grabbed a phone dialling 911. I didn't press talk though. 

"DAD DO NOT MAKE ME CALL", I yelled.

He had a record so we would be taken away from him if he crossed the line again.  He was always afraid of the authorities or the phone because he would always have the home phone disconnected and leave his phone untouched.

" You wouldn't dare", he said letting go of my sister slowly. She hit the floor and groaned rubbing the back of her head.

"Try me", I said. I pulled a little smirk. I had so much confidence it surprised me. I guess it's because my dad has been like this for three years and I am sick of it.

" GO FOR IT! YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.", he yelled. I could see fear in his eyes though. I swear this man is by polar. One day he loves us the next day he doesn't.

"WELL ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS LITTLE PRISON OF A HOME YOU HAVE HERE." I yelled. I wasn't smiling anymore. In fact, I was frowning.

I wasn't going to press call. Even though i spoke the truth, i never want to be put in the system. Ever.  That place is worst than a prison.

He walked to his room mumbling some inappropriate words.

As soon as Jamie  heard his door shut she ran to me. She grabbed my wrist and looked me in the eyes. She looked so upset and determined.

''We,  are gonna leave this home", she whispered. I nodded in agreement. We went to our room and she started packing while I looked through piggy banks. I went to the kitchen and went through my dads wallet . I took all the bills and while I was at it broke all of his credit cards. I came back to Jamie and showed her the money.

"Nice thinking", she smiled.

You could call it stealing. I call it , getting even.

As soon as we were done packing we dashed at the door. I slammed it shut. I heard my dad yelling our names. Sucker. Jamie was ahead of me and crossed the streets without me.

What is she, a track star?

I saw a guy walking. I thought I could pass him. If Jamie could run really fast I could too right?

WRONG.

SLAM! We ran into each other. Or I ran into him. I fell on the concrete and he jolted back. The concrete skimmed my leg and was covered in blood. It looked gross. I think it is going to need a pretty big band-aid.

"ew", I said examining my leg.

I was calm but the guy next to me was freaking out.

"EW YOUR LEG! I'M SORRY LET ME HELP YOU UP. I'M SORRY! UGH I ALREADY SAID THAT.'', he yelled. He seemed nervous.

The guy started to pick me up but I refused. I started screaming

" LET GO OF ME !!!! JAMIE HELP ME!!! JAMIE!!,I  said

" Whose Jamie?", he asked. He checked the streets for any sign of a person coming.

I heard footsteps coming.

Jamie.

She helped me up apologizing to the guy.

The guy was staring at her in awh. Yeah Jamie was pretty but I never saw captivating in her.

"Hi, Jamie", the guy said flirtatiously.

"Hi", she said awkwardly blushing.

Seriously.

EW. She's 17 and this guy is like..... thirty. 

I heard more footsteps. The man started yelling mine and Jamie's name.

Dad.

Jamie pulled me and the guy behind a bush and shushed the guy. He looked confused but remained silent.

"JAMIE! DESTINY! COME HOME I'M SORRY!!", my dad yelled. He was panicking. I could tell in his voice. Maybe I should go back?

Yeah right.

When he left Jamie and the guy were talking for what seemed like forever. I took interest in a tree. What a nice tree. I'll name it Bob, no Tim, yeah Tim. Then I remembered my leg.

"Hey Destiny, we are going to stay with him.", she said. Staying with a stranger, is she crayyyyyzzzee.

I hesitated but nodded in approval. She looked at my leg and crinkled her nose and handed me a bandage rollie thingy from the bag.

As soon as we got there I rushed in to find a beautiful apartment on the first floor of a small complex.

He showed us to Jamie and mine's room and I instantly crashed on his memory foam bed. So soft, soooo sooooo sooft.
