Chapter one- Introduction to me.

Hullo. I'm Rea. I live with my mom near in Essex, but I'm  originally from America. My dad, well, he never came back after my mom announced she was pregnant with yours truly. He abandoned us. I swore and I will always swear, if I ever find him, I will beat him to a pulp small enough to fit in my baby half-brother's diaper. Yeah. My mom re-married, a guy named Paul. He's grubby and he smells real bad. My mom loves me, I know she does, but she never does what's best for me. This guy treats us like dirt, apart from my brother, Mateo. We live in a small, beat-up house in the middle of other small, beat-up houses. I always dream of the glamorous life of New York City or Brooklyn, or even California, where I'm sure my life would be better.
I decided to run away.
This happened after my step-dad, I'm just gonna call him Paul, or Bob. Bob sounds good. Or Paul-Bob. Yeah. Paul-Bob, or PB. This happened after PB hit me, kicked my dog and stole all my money then claimed it wasn't mine. So I said my good-byes to Aaron, my dog, and left a note for my mum explaining everything. Then I cried a bit as Aaron watched me leave from behind the window. Too bad if I get caught. At least I can say that I've tried. And I will try again and again until I'm rid of this hell for good.
