    ~The next Day~

 I wake up on the floor in a ball to my Phone buzzing. My stomach hurts so much. Apparently, I forgot to close the fridge door last night. I got punished by him kicking me 8 times, one for every minute it was left open.

      " Hellur?" I answer sleepily. " May I ask why you're calling me at 6:00 A.M.  on a Saturday?" 

       " Come clean the bathroom bitch!" He slurs into the phone.

   " I'll be down in a second," I choke, feeling tears sting my eyes. Why are you crying you baby? Why do I ask?  I walk down the stairs and clean the bathroom. There's poop splattered all over the wall. Pig. I watch TV the whole day. If you're so poor how do you have a phone and TV? Well, I got a job and I pay for them myself. It sucks actually. 

      " AAAYYYYYYYYEEEEEE PETER!"  A group of my step dads friends barge into the front door. god they're so loud.  " Where's that hot Daughter of yours?"

      " Upstairs," My step dad chuckles. " Why you wan to get is done with her?"

       " Yeah, She's SMEXY!" He sings. I hear heavy footsteps running up the stairs. " BABY?!?"

        " Stay away from me." I look at him. He's drooling. He grabs my butt. I kick him out my door. I lock it.  I grab my iPhone and climb out the window. I walk to the lake. I approach the moonlit water. I turn the Phone on silent  and take my hair out. I place my flip flops, hair tie, and phone on a high branch. I dive in the water.   I back stroke in the water.

    SPLASH.

I look up, frantic. I see a pile of clothes next to the rock  Whoever it is, they haven't came up for air. I dive deep and bolt across the lake. Once I surface, I see a brown haired boy surface. He looks up, confused. " Hello?" He asks. I swim further away. He's all I need right now. Shortly after he walks out and leaves. I swim back and sit on the bank. I lie down and look up at the stars.  I see a shooting star. I close my eyes.

      " Please let my life get better," I whisper.  I watch the summer sun rise over the lake. I grab my belongings and walk home. Luckily, I hid them behind a log. I climb back into my room. Something hits me upside the face. 

      " Where the hell where you?!?" He shouts.

      " I-I" I stutter. I can't tell him where my only safe heaven is. He pushes me into the corner of my dresser. " WHY DON"T YOU LOVE ME?!?" I break. He grabs my hair. 

      " YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!" He yells over my cries. " YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YOU!" He hits me again. He slams my door behind him. I pull my self to my feet. I walk to the bathroom. I look in the mirror. I lift up my shirt and examine my scars and bruises. I look at my face. It's dotted with  blue bruises. I'll be gone be Wednesday. I'll be happy in London. I planned on moving there ever since I was 10 . I'm going to pursue my photographer career  I have an amazing camera hidden in the bottom of my closet. I don't dare take it out in this house. 

       ~ Tuesday morning ~

      I rush around the house getting ready for my last day of school. EVER.  I grab my phone.

          *Excited for your last day?  --- Henry* I smile and E-mail him back. Henry and I have known each other for a year or so over line. It happened when I was E-mailing Mr. Lesater and accidently typed in Mr. Later, Which is Henry's last name. He's actually pretty funny. 

       * THRILLED!--Elizabeth*  I put my phone on silent and grab my back pack. The day flies by, them we collect our diplomas. I thought, Wow this place is too cheap to have a proper graduation. I Just smile and run out the door of the school. Everyone was cheering, some crying because friends were going to long distant colleges. I smile and ran home. I have a train to catch. I quietly close the door and sneak up to my room. I grab all my valuables and throw them out the window onto the lawn. I climbed out my window after them. I dragged everything to the lake. I sit to catch my breath once I get there. I take out my camera and take a few pictures of practically my only friend. This is depressing. I finish and say my goodbyes. 

     " London?" I ask the lady at the desk once I reach the station. She nods and points to the left. I board the train and take out my Phone.  *How was it?-- Henry* I immediately reply. *I don't care! LONDON HERE I COME!--Elizabeth* I hadn't told him where I was going. *OMG! REALLY?!? I LIVE IN LONDON!--Henry* a large smile creeps onto my lips. * GREAT! We should totally meet up!--Elizabeth* I look out the window as the train starts to move. *Sounds great!--Henry* Trees rush past the window. *Now I can find out  I've been talking to a 70 year old pedo!--Elizabeth* 

   " Ticket maim?" A lady asks me, holding out her hand. I place the ticket in her hand. She walks away. * So, you've found my true identity? 0__0 --Henry* I laugh to myself. * I don't know what's funnier,  a 70 year old man trying to use a smart phone or the fact that you just said tity.--Elizabeth*   *I didn't say tity! --Henry*  *Identity. I Dent titys.--Elizabeth* *AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!--Henry* * You get it now, I see--Elizabeth* *You know what's better than identity's?--Henry* *Oh god what?--Elizabeth*  *Idaho. I Da Hoe.--Henry* I start to laugh really hard, causing practically everyone on the train to look at me. * Thank you for that. Now everyone on this train thinks i'm retarded--Elizabeth*    *You are--Henry* I giggle a bit, than close my laptop.
