Prologue:

"It's not fair!", I shrieked as loud as I could. She slapped me with the back of her hand. Her

wedding ring scraping my flushed cheek.

Running around the corner I dashed up the carpeted stairs counting each one slowly. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-1. I feel no more steps under my feet, but instead my whole body. I'm such a clutz.

I ran down the hall running past my mom's, mine, and my little sisters' room. I got to the near end of the hallway when I abruptly turned to find myself in the bathroom.

"I can't wait until I leave this fucking hell hole. I FUCKING HATE YOU!!!" I wail right before I slam the door and twist the lock towards my right.

I turn on the light and rapidly rip open the second to last drawer on the left. I grab my wallet and open it to find a twenty, a few fives, and a single. "Shit." I mumble. I know what I need to do. I unhinge the window while grabbing on to the window seal. I stare at the ground 10 feet below me.

I need to jump.
