It's been 2 months since I talked to my father, so I decided to call him and see how he's doing. But when I called him, a woman picked up the phone. " Hello dad?" Silent of course.  " Oh you must be Taylor. Hi I'm your father's wife, and he told me so much about you." I dropped the phone to the concrete, and run out to the woods, the only place I feel safe when Milly is not at home. And that's the thing, Milly's not at home.

I ran as far and as fast as I could. I didn't know what else to do, and I didn't want to know what else to do. For all I knew now was that I have a step mother, I never knew about because my dad was to busy beating me, to tell me he got remarried and she lives in L. A. 

Let me explain a little. I was four when my mom was killed by a drunk driver, but somehow I manage to live. I never knew about my mom, my dad never talked about her. And maybe that's another one of the many reasons why my dad beats me, because I look like her. Anyways.

I was still out running when I heard a whisper I heard when I was little. That's also what I should explain. When I was little I would hear a voice in my head. Anyways it returned to me, telling me that I was going to be alright. That Milly will take care of everything, and we'll live together and have a family to call our own. And at this the voice leaves and I stop running and sit on a log. Milly is probably looking for me by now. She's probably worried too.

"Babe? What are you doing out here? Are you alright?" I look up and, she is right beside me. I look at her and wrap my arms around her neck. As she picks me up, she kisses my forehead and starts walking home.
