Running from an abusive relationship, where he is literally chasing you down to kill you, is the worst feeling in the world. He could show up any moment and he'd be the last thing you see. I live with this fear every day, night, hour, minute, and second. It never goes away. I have changed places so many times because of him. His name is Landon Green. He is a threat to me and anyone I get close to. Do I have to live this way forever? Will I ever have a legacy?
So far Santa Cruz has done me well. I got a great job and met some good people. I go down to the beach and watch people surf sometimes after work. I wish I could be as confident as they are some day. I wish, like them, I had no worries. I really hope I get to stay here for good. Maybe one day I will not be scared to walk home alone or sleep at night. Sitting at the cash register at my job, I think back to when I was happy. I see and hear my moms smile and my dads laugh when I say something dorky. I hear my brother telling me to shut up before I embarrass myself when I try to explain something I have no clue about. At least I have the memories with my family. He can't take that from me.
