"I'm stuck between trying to live my life and trying to run from it"

--------

"Ow"
"Ow"
"freaking- OW"

"Shut up kya it's only a little ice" Carson deadpanned as she moved the ice pack over my bruises and Prince puts medical tape around my hand.

How did I get like this your probably wondering.

Well let me recap.

*Flash back*

As soon as I step through the front door I'm struck in my face.

"I got a call from the school. You were fighting again, if I get a law suit because of you boy you won't live to see another day!"

She yelled as she slammed my head against the wall. She got out her belt and started to hit me with the buckle

"Your lucky I talked them out of suspending you!"

She yelled as she kicked me in the side.

"No wonder why your parents didn't want you!"

"You know nothing about my parents you bitch!" I screamed back at her earning me a slap to the face.

I got up and walked straight out the door not worrying about the beatings that would come when I get back.

I looked at the house next to mine to see people had moved in. Great more people the witch could turn against me

*End of flash back*

That was 2 days ago

"We have neighbors" I said
Laying down on Princes lap

"Oh we know"

"you do?" I asked turning to Carson who shared a knowing look with Prince

"Yup" she replied

"Who-"

"Kya! Your foster mom called and said she wants you home now!" Carrie yelled from somewhere in the house then came in "I'll take you sweetie"

Yea you've found out. The 'witch' to which we all like to refer to her as is my foster mother. She's all in it for the money baby.

"Yes ma'am"

My friends shot me concerned looks but I just smiled, but I knew what was coming next.

-------

"There you are you little-"
She stoped herself as she pushed me down in the front yard.

"I was at Carson's I couldn't stay here and bleed to death!"

I said standing to my feet.

"Well you should have, all the better for everyone!"

"Yea I know, but you wouldn't want that right? You wouldn't want anything to happen to your precious little money maker!" I yelled back at her

She came at me and slapped me so hard fell back to the ground. I could taste the blood now.

I spat it into the grass and forced myself to my feet

"Of course not" she grabbed my hair and dug her nails into my side.

That's gonna leave a mark.

"Hey, HEY! What are you doing lady!?"

She was pushed away from me and I slumped to the ground.

"Stay outta this kid!"
I heard her say

"I won't, and you have the nerve to do this out in the open? I'm taking him with me, come on kya"

He grabbed me and pulled me into his house.

"Carlos is tha- oh my gosh what happened to him?!" I'm guessing this was his mother

"That crazy next door lady is what happened to him" he huffed and dragged me to the bathroom, he lifted me up like I was a feather and put me on the counter.

He said nothing only got out the first aid kit cleaning my bruises and putting medical tape around her claw marks.

He gave me some water to rainse out my mouth and a new tooth brush to get the blood off my teeth and braces.

"Thank you..." I whispered looking down.
