My day actually couldn't be any better. I was at school people were actually being civil, that's a first. It was last period I do hate school though its so boring and there's usually so much drama. I hate everyone but my friends. I sit down in my seat next to my best friend Kol.  He is 6'1 light blond hair and brown eyes. He has a little muscle. The teacher walks in and starts class. 

"OK guys today were gonna learn about the civil war..." Mr. farm goes on forever about this I just sit there drawing in my notebook.

"Xavia do you have something better to do then to listen to me? If so then please enlighten me." I close my book and looks at him. 

"No I'm sorry Mr. farm" I look around and everyone is acting so surprised about that. I swear this is the most over dramatic school ever. He talks on and on about the civil war. Finally the last bell of the day rings. I'm happy that I always grab my stuff before hand. Kol and I got up and walks out of class, we get outside and split apart he's got a dentist appointment. 

I get on the bus and sit upfront. One of the popular girls knocks all my books on the bus floor I give her a death stare but she blows it off, just like every guy she sees. I pick up my books and sets them on my lap. I sit there waiting for my other best friend Willow she comes on and sits next to me. She has beautiful black hair and black eyes,  she's Chinese, she's tall, skinny all around beautiful. We sit in silence for the ride we both get off close to each other which is cool. When I get off the bus I walk up my driveway and go inside.

I hate my home life my dads always drunk, he can get abusive mentally and physically. My mom works all the time I barley ever see her. 

" Xavia where have you been!" he yells 

" I was at school..."I say as I jump slightly from his loud unexpected voice. 

"I really don't care sweet cheeks, get your chores done!" He says with a bottle of bear in his hand. 

"I have to do my homework first dad.." I say to him quietly. 

" Don't you back talk me little lady!" he slaps me in the face. I hold the spot he hit and runs to my room. He follows me throwing his beer at me it crashes next to my foot I jump almost falling down the stairs. He grabs my arm and pulls me as I stumble. We both fall down the stairs. He passes out as I groan and rubs my shoulder then head.

   "I hate him I hope he's dead." I whisper to myself while a few tears fall. I get  up and steps over him. I open the house door and walks out shutting it again softly. I walk to Willow's house. I arrive about 10 minutes later and walks into her house. She's watching TV well at least was until she saw me.

 "Did he hit you!" She jumps up and comes over to me quickly as she looks at the the noticeably red mark on my left cheek. She hugs me but I stop her from putting her arms around my neck.

"Don't my shoulder hurts...I fell down the stairs." Tears weld in my eyes as I say that. I look at her then away feeling a bit nervous. 

"Fell or pushed.." She says as she pulls down the sleeve of my shirt to look at my shoulder. 

"fe-" Is all I could say before she cut me off. 

"Don't even say fell because I know I don't have 'stupid' written on my forehead...I already checked earlier." 

I smile at her attempt to make me laugh a little. "I'm running away..." I say to her softly. 

She looks at me a bit shocked. "No your not!" she almost yelled tears instantly in her eyes. 

"Yes I am and your...no one is stopping me. You don't know whats it's like to live my life.." I tear up. "I can't even go home and be there for five minutes without my 'dad' yelling or hitting me. I can't barley say a word without being yelled at...You have the perfect life...Of course you wouldn't understand..." Tears are now falling as a quick pace. She looks at me and pulls me into a tight hug. 

"Don't forget about me okay..."

"Willow you're my best friend, how could I ever..." She shrugged softly and hugged me again.

"better get goin' it's getting late.." I nod and walked away. I walk out of her house and  went home. I packed up some things and I slipped out of my house quietly I didn't want to wake up the drunken asshole.

I get to the bus station about 40 minutes later. 

"One ticket to the next place the bus is going." I say as I look at the lady in front of me but behind the glass. And lays 28 dollars on the counter.

"OK that's to new York hun" The Black haired lady said as she smiled at me. She took my money and printed a quick ticket and set it on the counter 

"That will be good thank you."  I say grabbing my ticket and starting to walk away. 

"Xavia"

"Yes..? How do you know my name?"

"Tell your mom I said hi" She says with a smile. She looked away from before I could ask her how she knew my mom and  went talking to another person. I walk to the loading area my hands in my pockets as I am a bit anxious. I get on the bus and sits down next to a guy about 16. He had skater boy jet black hair and beautiful bright blue eyes his lips were red and plump. H seemed to be about 6 foot something and thin. I put my book bag on the floor and put in my headphones. I put on 'kiss kiss' by Chris brown I don't like him but I like the song. It was about 7pm when I got on and now it is 9pm.

 I took out my headphones and looked outside. I guess the boy got nerves because he hid his face. I acted like it didn't let it bother me that I had a big bruise on my face. I look at my arms and counted the scares I have on them I had 34 thirty two were from cutting and two were from burning myself with an eraser. Yes I know it was stupid but hey I have...had a hard life. I had about four hour left on this bus. I wish I had a car but no 'I'm to immature' immature my ass. 

I  look at the boy and said hi to him but he didn't answer me maybe he was sleeping hm.. don't know I decided to put my earbuds back in but he stopped me by putting his hand on mine 

"Hi I'm..."
