The Runaways

Prologue

Hi, I'm Hollie Day. I'm a runaway and this is the beginning of my journey.

I was born in a town in North Carolina, on April first when I was supposed to be born on April fifth. My so called parents said I was a mistake because on April fifth my little sister April was born. My family wasn't the best one. They would throw glass at me, starve me, make me go outside during the summer in two pairs of black skinny jeans, three long sleeve shirts, four big coats, five pairs of fluffy socks, and boots, and during the winter make me wear nothing but undergarments. Those were the worst. While I walked through town I would get picked on. No one liked me and called me things like hobo, freak, depressed idiot, and many other things. I had no friends, the police didn't know, the government didn't know, and the people who lived in other places didn't know. I've heard adults say everything is legal when cops aren't around and things like that. I really really wanted to runaway.

One Saturday morning I woke up. I thought everything was going to be like every other Saturday, but I was completely wrong. I got up from my 'bed' when my so called parents, Samuel and Linda Day, walked into my room with a guy I didn't know. "Who's th-" I was cut off by Samuel slapping me, so hard that it made a loud noise. I covered my cheek while my eyes swelled up with tears.

"A mistake doesn't talk without permission!" Samuel growled at me.

"Mistake this is Luke he wanted some 'fun' with someone and you are the volunteer." Linda said to me innocently.

My eyes widened. I was only 14 years old and they were letting a what 30 year old man rape me! I backed up into a corner scared to death. Samuel and Linda smirked at me and walked out of the room locking it. I looked at Luke to see him inching closer to me. I can't let this happen to me at all. I see that I'm right next to the bathroom. I run in and shut the door while locking it. I can hear Luke trying to open the door. I walk to the window quickly and open it, climbing out while shutting it behind me and climb onto the roof of the house. I was very scared off heights and this was the worst thing ever. I didn't waste any time and jumped onto the tree next to the house and slid down the tree running off into the forest.

This was only the beginning...
