       Hey, I'm Alyxzandria I'm 5'5" and I have black hair and brown eyes. My parents abused me for 3 years. How I managed to not tell anybody I don't know. I self harm and I have had depression and anxiety since I was 15. I'm 17 now. I'm in an orphanage. I have never been adopted but I hope to soon.
*flashback*
        I wish I could leave. I'm scared I might die in this place. The beatings are bad. I'm afraid of what's going to happen.
        I get up and walk to the bathroom in a daze. God why won't this end? Looking in the mirror I see my pale figure. I sigh and start undressing for shower.
       After I'm showered and dressed in a asking alexandria shirt and black skinny jeans with converse but Mom never buys me clothes. when I got a job and my drivers license I started getting my own. Anyway, I grab my things and head downstairs for breakfast.
"You're an idiot!" *crash*
"Cheater!" *crash*
"I hate you!" *crash*
      I slowly sneak around the corner. "YOU LITTLE SLUT!" My dad pulled me by my hair. Not again please I think. Please don't beat me again. He threw me on the ground. "You're the reason this family isn't like it used to be. Danny went to college and you're just a whore. I Dont Know why I just don't give you up for adoption!"
      "Do it." Mom said. "I bet she'd enjoy that!"
        Mom and dad started kicked my ribs and stomach. "HELP ME!" I scream. They started beating me more. "Don't you remember what happened last time you screamed for help?" I cried. I do remember. It hurts so  much.
         "Police open up!" Somebody said. Oh my God please get me out of here. Mom went to the door and opened it a crack. "Yes?" "Police. Your neighbor reported screams and crashes may we have a look?" "Yes." Mom looked at me and gave me a look of warning. I got up slowly and the police walked in. I flinched from pain and a police officer came over.
        "Are you okay ma'am?"
         Should I tell them the truth? If I don't get out of here I may die. I start to cry and I finally say "Ya know sir, I'd rather be in an orphanage. My family has beat me for uh.. 3 years and I'm done. I-I can't stand it anymore. I've had to live with broken bones. I'm done." He stood shocked. "Come on sweetheart we're going to get you out of here" an officer spoke up. She was sweet and she started crying. She led me upstairs to get my things.
        After packing I said one last goodbye to the place. Finally my ticket out of here. Wait. I run to the bathroom and grab my depression medication. I can't forget that. Maybe the orphanage will be better.
