                    ~Jayla's POV

I had just got home from work and i was exhausted. I went straight upstairs , took a shower then got straight into my bed.

20 minutes later, i was woken up from hits towards my face. It started to burn and I couldn't help but cry.

"Get your lazy ass up" my stepdad said as he was about to hit me again but i got up quick.

He must have been drunk cause he was kinda rocking.

"Now i know you saw my message when i said bring home food. Right or fucking wrong?" He said

"I didn't get no type of text" i said rubbing the side of my face he was hitting me at

"Bitch lie again because i know i sent that shit" he said as he pulled out his phone , showing me

I looked at it and his fucking dumb ass didn't even send the message. I ain't want to argue with him so I apologize.

"You better not pull that shit no more, i will fuck your ass up if you do" he said as he walked out my room.

I went to the mirror and saw that my face had a big ass red mark. I started crying more because the girl back then was a beautiful girl and now she is ugly because of them evil people upstairs.

>That night<

I was in my room, writing another poem about hatred that is in the world today, people killing people for no reason. My writing was cut short when my stepdad walked in.

He closed the door nd started walking towards me. I already knew what he wanted but i was going to try to prevent it.

"You already know what's about to go down, drop them pants" he said getting more closer.

"No! Leave me alone!" i yelled getting up quickly and running into my bathroom and locked the door.

He started banging on the door, commanding me to come out but i wouldn't, he kept trying and trying. I thought he would break the door the way he was banging on it. Eventually he stopped and walked away. I waited a while before coming out.

There was no sigh of him. I quickly locked my room door and started to pack some clothes. I been through to much, I'm tired of people not caring.

I had three duffs packed with clothes and stuff i needed. I went to my window taking a deep breath and opened it, climbing out of it. I then closed the window back and quickly got out the yard.

I didn't know where i was going but i know i was getting away from terrible people. I was going down an alley when i saw a couple of guys at the other end. I turned around quick and walked back the way i was coming but i heard one of them say

"Ayo , who that down there"

I ran off and ended up bumping into a figure causing me to fall. I looked up to see like the meanest face in the world. I was getting scared to the max now.

The boys i saw early came up and the guy took his eyes off me and looked at him.

"Whats going on?" The guy spoke to the boys

"Nothing man, we was just tryna find out who she was" one spoke

"Alright, you see who she is now fuck off" he said then they all walked off from us

I was silent the whole time. He helped me up back to my feet and as i brushed myself off, he spoked.

"You good?" He said

"Yea.." i said taking my eyes off him and looking down.

"You sure, you dont look like it" he said burning my skin with his eyes

Then I realized he probably looking at a big ass bruise that was on my face from one of my previous hit from my stepdad.

"No, i um ran away from home" i said frowning as tears started forming in my eyes

"How come you running away?" He asked

"Oh um I don't want to talk about it" i said trying my best to hold back my tears

"Alright, well you need a ride somewhere" he said

"Well um I actually don't have a place to go" i said

"Oh, this may seems crazy but you can stay in my spare room until you know what you trying to do" he said

"Ohh that should be fine" i said as i rubs on my arms nervously

"Alright ma, follow me" he said

He turned around and started walking, i followed behind him and we got into his car. He had a good looking car. He drove to this place and it was in the hood but by the look of it , it didn't look like it.

We both got out and went inside. It was well organized and was beautiful. He carried my bag to a room and as i followed , the room was better than my room.

"Thank you so much because you didn't have to do this" i said sitting on the bed

"No problem, it seems as if you been through a lot, so i had to help" he said

"Quick question though, what's your name" i asked

"David or Dave" he said raising an eyebrow "you?"

"Jayla" i said

"Nice name ma, but are you hungry?" He asked

"No, i just want to sleep" i said

"Oh alright, my room is down the hall if you need anything" he started walking towards the door "I am a heavy sleeper though, once i get down to it sooo do all you can to wake a nigga up"

"Ok Dave" i said giggling at the last part his said.

He walked out the door and closed it after him. I went in my duffle bag and got out some comfortable clothes to put on. I went to my bathroom and took a quick shower then got dressed and got in the bed. I ended up drifting to sleep after about 30mins.
