Some say life goes on, some don't, but the people that say that, believe that, but not for Daniel. Daniel isn't your average 14 year old, but not like anyone would know that since no one notices him. No one talks to him, no one goes near him, it's like he's invisible. He tries his best to talk to people, but it never works out, but its no better at home. At home, it's a living hell for him. His mother beats him, ignores him, but gives his 12 year old sister, Sophia, all of the attention. Its the end of school now, but Daniel doesn't go straight home. There's a small creek 2 miles from his house. He goes to the creek and just sits and thinks, for almost 3 hours. He finally gets home, after the creek.
His mom, sitting with her legs crossed smoking a cigarette. "Where were you?" she says. "I just took a walk." He starts walking to his room when his mom grabs the back of his backpack and pulls him. "Why the hell were you taking a walk?" She said. "Mom... I just wanted to go for a walk." They stare at each other for a good five minutes. Daniel's mom smacks him in the face. She said "Go. Now." Daniel runs to his room and shuts it, crying in to his pillow. His face hurts, it's red. He makes a plan. He's gonna leave. Forever.
