-flashback- Ashley's POV
"Dad, please don't!" I screamed out in panic at the sight of my father's fist in the air, aimed at my mom. He grunted, then instead of hitting mom, he hit the wall, leaving behind a large hole where he had struck it. Next he started yelling at me but I couldn't understand the words he was saying because they were slurred. I looked over at my mom and saw her huddled up in the corner sobbing. This broke my heart; no one ever wants to see their mother cry. Suddenly I felt a sharp sting across my cheek. I then realized he had hit me. I couldn't focus on what was happening next; all I could focus on was the pain. Then he started kicking me repeatedly until I finally blacked out.
When I woke up I was stlll pretty confused but then the memory of what happened came flooding back. My dad was passed out on the couch so my mom saw this as an opportunity to leave. She hurriedly packed our stuff and we got in the car. "Where are we going?" I asked. "San Francisco" she replied.

A/N
Sorry for the shortest chapter ever. I thought it would be cool to end it on this note. Chapter 2 coming soon! xx
