Life's Gone Crazy {Hamilton}

6

I had been on the streets for a while, almost two weeks. I had gone to school, then disappeared after. I didn't want to go with CPS. The last place I was supposed was outside of The Richard Rodgers, three days ago. I'm classified missing, and I know there's people looking for me. As I passed by the Rodgers I heard someone yell my name and I walked faster. Then someone grabbed my wrist and I gritted my teeth in pain. Glass does the job too. I looked back at the person and my eyes widened a bit. It was mia. But something had happened. She had a huge bruise on her cheek and on her neck. They were yellow and blue, looked like it hurt.

"Jade. Jade you gotta come with me there's a huge storm coming. Just come into the Rodgers please." Mia looked so sincere, so I nodded. We turned back and began to walk towards the large 'THE OUTSIDERS, THE MUSICAL' sign that lit up brightly and almost blinded me. We went in and the warmth made me shiver a bit, once we went to a dressing room labeled 'LIVIA SABITINA, Marcie. ABBY LAURENS, CHERRY VALENCE.'

"Mia, what happened to your face?" I asked once we sat down. She looked over at me and I saw a small amount of fear.

"A-a prop... fell.."

"Lie." I crossed my arms.

"Ok.. but you can tell anyone."

"Swear on my life." I grabbed her hand gently and she took a deep breath.

"My boyfriend.. he.." she started to tear up, "he tried to.. rape me."

"Mia.."

"He had me pinned, I punched him in the neck, he slammed his fist into my jaw so I took a heel under the bed and stabbed him with it before running.. it's not the only bruise.."

"Am I the only one that knows?"

"I ran into Daveed, Literally, on my way here. He asked about the bruise and I told him the story. He took me here, since Oak plays Dally or somethin' and I have no idea where he went. I saw you walk by... I know your scared but I have a plan. I'm getting you with the best people I know. Mi Famila." She said with tears in her eyes, I felt my own gloss over.

"Thank you. Thank you." I whispered, she held me tightly in her arms.

{hours later...}

"Mom. Dad." Mia stood in front of me, it had taken so much bribing and such to convince her to walk to her parents about Colton. Mrs. Ramos, or Jazzy as she asked me to call her, looked so concerned as Mia discribed the story. They hugged her and did all that jazz. I smiled and hoisted my bag over my shoulder and walked out. I heard footsteps and turned.

"Is mia in there, in her boyfriend. I need to see her." He had a neck bruise and a scratch across his cheek.

"Sorry, she isn't in the mental state to see you right now. I'd suggest running before Anthony comes out here and beats your face in." I crossed my arms.

"What are you gonna do about, shorty?" He snarled and began to throw punches, I ducked under them and punched him in the gut when he doubled over I grabbed both sides of his head and slammed his face into my knee. Then I ran into the theatre and yelled at the top of my lungs.

"Colton! He's outside!" I heard movement and people came downstairs, everyone but Mia. They went outside and I ran upstairs as I heard a window open.

"Mia!" I screamed as she jumped out, I ran to the window as she landed in a dumpster and climbed out. Then ran.

"Oh my god..." Jasmine muttered standing next to me. I sniffled, I felt tears rise in my eyes. I looked at Jasmine and she was full in crying. I have her a hug and she sobbed into my shoulder. Anthony came back in and put everything together without any explanation. He hugged Jasmine and I nodded, running downstairs and informing the others. Horror and shock filled their faces.

"Mianna.." Daveed whispered, putting his hands on his head.
