Abuse isn't something anyone would want to endure. But unfortunately for Lauren it is something she has to deal with on a daily basis. After the loss of her mother 5 years ago, her father took a turn for the worst. Can she cope with it on her own or...
"Yes we want to get as far away as possible and New York is big so we'll stay away from everything. So if that is trying to find us he can't." Marcus says.
"What about all of your friends? Did you tell them?"
"No we didn't tell them. The least they know the better." Marcus says.
"But those guys are almost brothers to you." I say.
"Yes but you guys are family. You three are the most important people in my life and I want let anything happen anymore. I am done with that. I should haven taken all of you when I turned 21." Marcus says.
"Marcus you did your best. You're the greatest oldest brother I could ask for." Jeffrey says.
"Wait, what if somebody reports us missing? I mean Calebs dad is a cop. Everybody will notice that we're gone." I say.
"We have new names. I already got the ID." Collin says.
"What?" I can't believe we're really running away. A new name and a new city.
"We're going to start all over again. No beating, just the happy four of us." Marcus says.
"So I can't talk to Caleb anymore?" I ask dissepointed.
"No sorry Hon. We can't risk it." Marcus says kissing my head. I nod but I'm really sad about it. I really like Caleb. He's just really sweet and it's like I have known him for years.
After driving a whole day we finally arrive our new home. It's a appartment in a big flat. We walk inside with our bags. It's not big but that's okay.
The livingroom is a descent size. The kitchen is pretty small. There're three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

"Lauren you can get the bedroom alone. We'll fight about the others." Marcus says to me with a wink.
I nod and walk to the bedroom Marcus points at. I put my bags down and lay down on the bed. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
Jeffrey's POV
Lauren walks into her new bedroom.
"Jeff you can take the other bedroom if you want." Marcus says to me.
"No I think you should take it. I wouldn't mind sharing a room with Collin." Collin and Marcus nods. We all walk into our bedrooms.
Collin and I put our stuff down and lay on the beds.
"Do you think he can find us?" I ask Collin.
"I honestly have no idea. I am a bit scared of what Lauren said, about someone reporting us missing. Maybe they let our photo's see on the news. You guys will be attending school here and Marcus and I will work. So we will get reconised." I just nod.
"What if we just told the police?" I ask after a minute.
"Jeff you know we can't do that. Dad knows a lot of people. He isn't working anymore but he has a lot of corrupted friends. You know that." Collin says.
"Yes but I don't want to live in fear thaf everytime one of us walks out of here they may not be coming back." I say.
"We just make the rule that nobody walks out alone or comes back alone. We won't open the door for anyone." Collin says with a little fear in his voice. I just nod and close my eyes.
Marcus's POV
I just lay down on my bed thinking about everything that happend. From the little beatings after moms death to the last thing that made us run away. We know we weren't there when it happend but we all knoe what happend to Lauren. I wonder how she's dealing with it. Ofcourse it had a big inpacked on here life but I hope she can still life her live. I hope she knows she can talk to us.
Next morning Lauren's Pov
I wake up from the sun shining through my window. I look around and then I remember where I am. New York.

I walk out of my room into the livingroom. Marcus is already sitting there.
"Goodmorning." I say.
"Goodmorning." He says.
"Are you hungry? I can make us something." I say.
"No I am okay. Can you come here please?" I walk to Marcus and sit next to him.
"What is it?" I ask.
"I just wanted to give you your ID and your new phone. Your first name will still be Lauren. Our last name will be Smith." I nod and Marcus hands me my new phone.
I walk into the kitchen and open the cabins but we don't have any food.
"Marcus can we go to a store to buy some food?"
"Yes go get dressed then we can go." I nod and run into my room to get dresses. I open my bag and I take out some black jeans and a grey hoodie. I put my shoes on and walk back to Marcus.
We walk out of the door and five minutes to a small store. We just get some stuff so we have enough for a couple days.
Back home I made some breakfast and woke up Collin and Jeffrey. We sit down at the table when someone knocks on our door.
