ExperiMENTAL

Getting the basics

  *One month earlier*

  "Your in!" My mom says excitedly as she opens up the letter I got from SU. (Specialities University) The only college that accepts magical beings and embraces them. So we can get a great education while still being able to be ourselves.

  It also lets me continue therapy because I really need it. You see most creatures have certain disabilities that balance out there powers with the humans.

  I have ADHD. It's not to bad, but enough that it's noticeable. Anyway, the reason I'm going to college is because I want to major in acting. It's always been my dream to become a great actress. I remember I used to do every play in middle school and high school.

  It wasn't hard to get a scholarship because I went to Steelbridge, a high school that is specifically focused on fine and performing arts. I graduated with A/B honor roll.(which was really hard for me)

  "That's awsome. When do I leave?"

  "Tomorrow afternoon"

  "Of course the ungrateful little shit would want to get away from us as soon as possible." My dad says. My dad. An alcoholic, abusive, all around shit of a father. Ever since I could remember, he was always criticizing me about something. He wasn't physically abusive(most of the time), but most of it was mental.

  He would tell me I'm pathetic and stupid and that I would never reach my dream job of becoming an actress. He was part of the reason I needed therapy. I had such a low self a steam I started to believe what he said. Until I went on anti-depressants which only helped a little.

  "Yeah, well at least I'll never see you again." I spat at him.

  "Listen here Mae..."

  "Marki and no. You don't control my life anymore." I walk out the door and unlock my car. This will mark the 47th time I have slept in my car to avoid my dad.

~time skip~

  I went inside hoping my parents would be asleep, so I could grab my bag and catch an early flight.

  Just to my luck he was there on the couch drinking a beer and watching the tv. He noticed me walk in and looked at me with disgust.

  "Why couldn't you be like them? Normal." On the tv it showed a guy and a girl kissing.

  Okay, so I'm bisexual. You should have seen my dad's face when I told him. It was terrifying. I was only 15 when I told my parents.

  "Whatever you pervert." He was one of those guys who liked to watch whatever porn came on at 2 in the morning.

  I went to my room, grabbed my phone and my suitcase, and sped walked out the door. I felt bad for leaving my mom behind with him. I swear one day I will get her out.

  I drive to the airport and luckily there is a flight that is just about to leave to London. I get on and put my headphones in.

  I'm free
