I feel your pain (Remington fanfic)

Chapter 1

"So today's the day" I say to myself as I finish packing my bag. If you where wondering my name is Lily Kennedy, I'm 17 years old and I'm running away from home. My life sucks I get beaten by my dad, he is an alcoholic and so is my mom. My mom doesn't hit me but she is to scared to stand up for me because she thinks that my father will hit her and that's why she drinks. I am a know body at school, I had one friend but because of her dads work she had to move to the UK. There is know reason I have to stay here, nothing holding me back. Even though it is only 3 days till my 18th birthday I can't take it anymore.

It is currently 4 in the morning and I am tip toeing down the hall to the front door so that I don't wake my father up, he is on the couch with bottles surrounding him. As I open the door to leave this hell hole I turn around and see my mother, she has no expression on her face, she dose nothing to stop me. She knows the pain that I go through but she doesn't do anything about it, dose nothing to help me.

I close the door and start walking, feeling the cool winter breeze on my face. I start to think about what I will do, I have little money but just have enough for food and a bus fare. I was thinking of trying to apply for jobs tomorrow as I made my way to the bus stop that would take me to Los Angeles, I was heading to LA because I know that no one will fine me there and I was thinking that maybe I could start my music career. Iv always wanted to be a musician but never really had the guts to sing in front of people and maybe now that I am having a fresh start I could finally make my dreams reality.

After waiting 30 minutes the bus finally arrives
"Where are you going love?" The bus driver says in a sweet voice
"LA please" I reply handing her my money, she hands me my ticket and I walk to the back of the bus. After a few hours I looked out the window and saw that the sun was rising, it was now 6.43 and we weren't even half way to my destination. To fill the time I starting reading my book, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, while I listened to some Pierce The Veil.

- 5 hours later -

After the long bus journey I finally arrived, as I was getting off the bus I turned and thanked the driver,
"Have a nice day" she said as the doors of the bus closed. And there is where I found myself, lost in LA with no where to go. I decided to go into a little diner to warm up and eat. I ordered a burger, chips and a large bottle of water, after I had finished eating I went up and payed.

It was getting late and I was getting tired from walking around, I looked in my purse to see if I had enough money for a motel and of course I didn't if I wanted to stay alive and eat. As I was walking to find a good place to hide for the night I saw that a guy was following me so I started to run. As fast as I was I couldn't get away, he lead me into a alley and that's when it all went black.
