I know what he's doing. He wants me too look healthy when he takes me out in public. There is three trays of food on the floor. I am starving, I want to eat all of it right now. I stare at the food with drool running down my face. I am not going to eat it. No matter how much I want to. I am not stupid, I am not dumb. But, if I don't eat, he will never take me there. I know that's true, and I hate that. I shove the burger after burger into my mouth. I shove the fries in, twelve at a time. I know now that if I look healthy he will take me out in public sooner. Then I can possibly escape.

I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth for the first time in a month. It felt so good. Clean teeth. I gulp the mouthwash down and swish and swirl around. This never felt so good before. I get into my pajamas and curl in bed. This is awesome.

My hair has grown out a little. It falls to my chin now. My mom aid my hair grows out fast, and it does compared to other people's hair. I'm glad it does.
I find my makeup and put it on. I missed this feeling. I put on clean clothes, I love this feeling. I straighten my hair with a flat iron, I like this feeling. The heat hitting my hair, aaah. I have nothing to be worried about now. I am safe, protected. I am in heaven.
