My mom and I go at it for 30 minutes until I sprint down the long driveway. I run to the beach, and I am relieved when I see I'm the only person there. "AGGGH!" I scream. It echoes off the salt water waves and bounces back to me, which makes me even more angry.
I grab a fist full of smoothened rocks, and chuck them into ocean. I fall to my knees and just sob. " I don't want to do this anymore! Take me somewhere else! Anywhere else!" I yelled. "Ainsley Diamond Jasten!" I hear my moms voice calling out. Shit! I think to myself. I hear her cheap heals click down the boardwalk. Cmon! Think! Where do I go?! I ask myself. "AINSLEY" My mom yells. I frantically look around for an escape. Before I can run, Mom grasps my arm. Her fake nails dig into my skin. "OW! Mom what the hell!?" I say, angrily. "You! You are in so much-" But before she can finish, I twist her arm, and throw her to the sandy ground. "AINSLEY! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!" She bellows. "Sorry mom, but I can't live with you low-life jerks anymore. I gotta go. Don't wait up for me." But, again,before I can escape, she grabs my ankle. I kick her, hard, and yell "YOU BITCH! GET OUT OF MY LIFE!" And I dive into the chilly, salty water.
