I tried opening my heavy eyes and woke up in a big white room that looked like I was in a hospital. I looked around and saw wires attached to me. It was quiet until the silence was broken by a lady in a green lab coat.
Yep I was definatley in the hospital.
"Goodmorning Tamoyah. Im nurse Abbey, you were in a coma for about 3 days now. I'm glad to see you've finally woken up but you probably want to know why you're here im guessing?"
"Hi Ms. Abbey, and yes I do want to know thanks"

She explained everything that happened to me and told me I would be released soon. I was so shooken up and didn't know what to do or say.
"Well I wanted to check up on you to see if you were up, theres a police officer here that wants to talk to you for a minute" The nurse said to me.
Many thoughts were being boggled around in my mind wondering whether something had happened to my mother. Had she been arrested? Are they going to take me away from her for good?
The nurse let the police officer come through the curtains to come and see me. He was a big, tall, scary looking guy, one you would never want to mess with.
"Good morning Ms. Ferguson, my name is Officer Whittingham I would like to ask you a couple of questions about your mother if thats fine with you?".
"Sure, whats going on, is she in jail, how long, will she be in there for?". I asked scared and impatient, still waiting for an answer.
"No she didn't go to jail, but infact she is sitting in the waiting room right now"
'Get her out of here I never want to see her again'. Was what I wanted to say.
"Could you bring her in?" I said quietly.
As I witnessed her walk in the room my heart was pounding faster and faster every step she took getting closer to me, an evil smirk grew upon her face. Then she had opened her mouth and said.
"Your coming with me"
When she said that my heart felt like it was about to drop 6 feet to the ground, tears started pouring down hard from my eyes as I was trying to sink everything in.

I had now only been in the house for about half an hour and its already hectic.
My mother had stood there in my face and yelled at me about how much she hates me and wish I was never born, again as her speciallty trying to make me feel bad about myself. After that she had grabbed me by my hair and threw me against the walls until blood started running from my arms and legs and I was barely able to get up and save myself. She walked into her room and I guess fell asleep.
I went into my room and packed my bags and slowly, and quietly headed out the door. While walking, I stopped over by the nearest Burger King to get something to eat, as I sat there in the back of the fast food place everyone was staring at me like I was some type of sideshow attraction at the circus.
As I walked out of the food place I kept checking back and forth to see if I can see my mom following me. About 2 miles after walking, I began to witness my friend Kiara drving by in her car. I stepped into the empty street to signal her off.
"Oh my god Tamoyah, what happened?!"
"My mom is what happened, she beat me and threw me against the walls"
"Get in and tell me everything that happened"
I slowly stepped into the car and began to explain everything, what happened to me now and whats been happening to me since I was smaller.
" Do you wanna stay with me at my house?"
"I don't wanna be a burdon" I said quietly, kind of hoping she was still offering to let me stay over.
" No problem at all, I love you, your my bestfriend"
No one had ever cared about me as much as she did, I guess when your me, -A 18 year old girl who gets emotionally and physically abused- it just seems like no one loves me the way she did.
