I wake up to screaming....... wait thats Destery screaming........in pain. I shoot to my feet and slam my door open and look to see 'dad' on top of him hitting Destery. "OH HELL NO!" I scream. Dad doesnt even flinch. I run over and push him as hard as possible and punch him so hard that i knock him out. But that wont last. "Destery. Go to your room lock the door and dont open it unless its me. Pack anything that you absolutly need. We're leaving." I tell him pushing him into his room. He doesnt argue as he closes and locks the door. As i jog over to my room and dad starts to stir. Shit! He looks over at me so i run the rest of the way to my room. But not fast enough. Im about to close my door and his foot stops it. " That was very stupid of you." He flatly says. Dad pushes the door open and throws me to the floor with the force. Sreams..... every where...... is it Destery? No wait..... its me. He kicks me in my ribs again and again. Its as if eternity goes by untill he stops. I lay there as he walks out and thumps down the stairs. I cry and stand up. I promised Destery that we were going to leave. I grab a bag from my closet and stuff it full of clothes and other stuff that i will need. I peek out my door and no one was there so i tip toe over to Destery's room.I knock on his door slightly. Every sound of movement stops. "Des. Its me. Open up!" I whisper it so dad doesnt hear. He slowly unlocks the door and peeks out he grabs my hand and pulls me into his room without a word. He knew that we could escape out his window. My parents switched our rooms because he had a balcony and they knew he wouldn't do anything unlike me. He locks his door again. And turns to look at me and i saw what that monster did to him. He already had a black eye, a busted lip, and his face was mostly bruised. I'll kill him. I have to push the anger away before i do something stupid. "Are you alright?" I ask him since this is only his second beating. Since dad can only get to him when i am asleep. "I'm fine. It doesnt even hurt that much. You look horrible sissy--" He chocks up and tears start to stream down his face. I stand up and ignor the pain, I wrap him up in a hug. "Shhh shh. Its ok Des. Im here this is all gonna be over soon. I love you little bro." I tell him all of it the truth. We sit together for hours. It starts to get dark so we listen really hard to here our parents. Nothing. They must have gone to bed. "Ok Des are you ready?" I ask him hiding the worry that he may say that he wanted to stay. "Yes." Was his sure and confident responce. We check through our stuff to make sure we had everything cause we were never going to come back to this hell whole. I had grabbed my money that i saved for collage but never got to go because of dad. I had about $14,000. We snuck out to the balcony and closed the door that lead to it. "Here we go." I let him go down first to make sure dad didnt come in some how and take him. He gets to the bottom so I come down. As soon as my feet touch ground Destery stars to walk as do i. We get to the front yard and look back at the house. "Finally. We're free from those beasts." Destery says. He is one awesome little dude. Im so glad i get to call him my brother! Destery didnt always have to deal with this crap. Well not untill he was 5 then things changed. But they loved and spoiled him. He hated it because they treated us so different. So he has an Ipod that he let me use when ever. I turned on Devil's Choir by Black Veil Brides. "You like this song right?" I ask Destrey picking up our pace. "No i hate it..... of course i love it!" He said and giggled after wards.
-Time Laps Next Morning-
"Destery. Come on wake up. Come on." I say in to his ear. We had to sleep in the park 4 miles from our house. We are on our way to the bus station but not sure where after that......
Destery slowly starts to wake up. The only time he gets up quickly is when something bad is happening. "5 more minuets." "Can't buddy the park rangers are here and we want to get an early start. Right?" He sits up with a start and he looks confused. "Where are we?!" He starts to look around. "Remember we stopped here last night so we could rest up." It's normal for him to be like this. He has to take a second to figure things out. I give him some time and then he remembers. "Ohhhh..... Sorry sissy." "Awwww you know it's ok Desdes." He smiles and we get up and stretch. We started to walk and out of the corner of my eye I saw one of the park rangers coming towards us. "Des lets go." "Why what's wrong?!" He said as I pulled him faster. "Nothing just..... We have to go--" "Excuse me. Miss? Stop I need to talk to you." Damn! I am not getting into trouble. "Destery follow my lead. Yes? Were you talking to us? I'm sorry." "Yes um were you two just sleeping on that bench?" "No we came out here earlier and we layed down the bench to look at the sky." If he doesn't buy it we are screwed. "Yeah! I saw a cloud in the shape of a dragon so I wanted to stop and look at them!" Thank you Destery! "Oh ok sorry to bother you. Hope you have a nice day." He said as he walked away. When did Destery get so good at lying?! "Moron." Destery said when Mr. Park Ranger was out of ear shot. Ha! "Well let's go." I said not holding back my laugh. This is why I love him and if anything happens to him...... I don't know what I'd do.
