"Tell the god damn girl to go upstairs" Daddy said with clenched teeth. "Sky baby, go up to your room" Mama softly whispered in my ear. I looked at daddy with surprise. He had a belt in his hand and I was to afraid to move. "GO. GO AWAY SKYLAR" Daddy screamed. I started crying but still stood still. Then in an instant, I saw daddy charging at me. I screamed and ran away. He started lashing out with the belt and beat mama until she fell to the floor. There was blood all over the floor and mama laid still. Daddy then dropped the belt and glared at me. "This is your fault.... THIS IS AL YOUR FAULT SKYLAR! YOU MESS EVERYTHING UP. SKYLAR WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOUR MOTHER!?" Daddy screamed at me. I fell to the floor crying. "Daddy... please..." I choked out. "Get out of my house... GET OUT OF MY F*CKING HOUSE SKYLAR." Daddy screamed and picked up the belt again. I sprinted upstairs to my room and locked the door. I opened the window and stood looking at the backyard a story below my feet as daddy pounded on my door. "GET YOUR WORTHLESS A*S OUT HERE" He screamed. Then I heard a big bang and my door came crumbling down. I gathered up my courage, and let my body jump out the window... I hit the soft grass as daddy cursed at me through my open bedroom window. I quickly got up and jumped the fence and ran across the street. I ran for about 10 minutes straight in a full out sprint until I reached the alley by the drugstore. I slid in silently with no one spotting me. I brought myself to the corner and plopped on the cold cement to let myself catch my breath. I laid out across the floor and cradled my head in my arm to use as a pillow. I let myself slowly drift asleep, hoping daddy wont find me... wont take me... wont... wont... Darkness
