Trapped

Chapter 1: Bonnie

"Go to your room right now, Bonnie!" commanded my step mother.

"You're such a disgrace to this family!" my brother yelled at me.

I went outside to make my way to my room; they moved my room to the attic of the garage. Ever since my mother died they blamed everything on me. Our family was so perfect, but there was a car wreck that ruined everything. My father and two older brothers blamed everything on me.

They blame me because I was in the car with her. After my mother died, my father married a rich woman. She is beautiful on the outside; truth is she is a monster. They are all monsters! I wish I could leave, but I'm trapped.

I struggle with depression, self-harm, and suicide. I may just appear to be a normal, typical girl to you, but I have problems that can't be fixed: my family doesn't give me the help I need. I'm a wreck, and I think I am past the point of being fixed.

I heard the door open and looked up to see my dad coming into my room; he is kinder to me than the rest of my family, but he is still rather mean. He came completely into the room and told me to start packing because we would be moving to California. I was both happy and sad, because I had one best friend here.

I started to pack while listening to Pandora. As I was packing, I heard a knock on my window. It was Elena,my best friend.

"Why are you packing? And what was so urgent that you needed to see me for?" Elena asked frantically.

"I'm moving but we can still text and call each other!"

"What? Why are you moving?"

"My dad got a new job; I'm so sorry, but I promise I"ll call you every day!I promise."

"No! You can't move! Who will help you? I'm going to college to be a therapist you need me! I need you!"

"I know Elena! Do you think I want this to? I don't, but I think it could be good for me. I promise I'll call you everyday and we can talk, or maybe we could even Facetime each day."

Elena came over and she gave me a big hug. "Promise me you will call me everyday and keep in touch with me."

I answered as solemnly as I could, "I promise."

"And promise me you won't do anything stupid."

"I promise I won't."

"Bonnie who are you talking to up there?"

"Oh my gosh, you need to go, she's coming!"

"I'll text you I promise!" Elena whispered as she left my room through the window.

My stepmom came in and slapped me across the face really hard. "You know you're not supposed to have friends over!"

"I didn't!" I shouted back at her.

She slapped me again but even harder this time. "I know you did, because I saw Elena run off! I wish we didn't have to take you to California with us; if it was up to me, I would just throw you on the streets! You're old enough to stay on your own now.

"So why don't you just do it? Leave me here and live your perfect life!"

"Because your father won't let me, I don't know why though, you're an ugly little thing!" She left slamming the door shut behind her.,

I just sat down and started to cry.

They starve me and beat me; I wish I could leave this place and never look back, but I can't.

I actually can't wait to move to California but I wish I could take Elena with me; she has helped me through so much of my life. I met her in Kindergarten, and whenever people bullied me, she would be the one to stand up for me. I know it is going to be hard transitioning to life without being able to see her everyday, but we will continue to be friends.

When I finished packing all of my possessions, I took a look around at my empty room: stripped of all its posters, and my empty bed with no sheets, but only a small blanket.

I layed down on the mattress and covered up with the small blanket. I drifted into a deep sleep, with my thoughts and worries silenced by the peaceful gift of rest.

I woke up sometime around 10:30 at night and was really thirsty. I went downstairs and got a glass of water. I had to hurry, because I'm not allowed to be out of my room at this time of night, or any time of night. If I was to be caught,I would get slapped, or worse.
