As I stared at all my clothes in the corner of the room I heard my phone make a noise beside me. It was a text from an unknown number:
Unkown: hi!!!!!! Are you still up for tonight???!!!!

Unkown: oh right sorry XD!!! It's robyn! You know, the homework theif XD!!!!
Oh yeah, how did you get :Me my number?

Robyn: oh right!!! That would be helpful XD it starts at 6!!!!

Robyn: byyyyyeeeeee x
Oh no, it's 5:30 now. I need to shower and find something decent to wear.
As I step into the grime ridden shower I hear the grunch of dirt and the sadistic laughter of the people I most despise drawing near to the house. What's worse is, they already sound drunk.
As they kick down the front door easily, as it has no hinges anymore, they charge up the stairs and into the bathroom where they heard the shower water.
"Who said you could take a shower bitch!" My father yells.
He drags me by my hair to my room and throws me violently to the floor. I am stark naked and terrified.
"Wait! You can't do this now! I'm expected at a party and if I'm late people will be suspicious!" I cried. It is true but only Robyn will be suspicious.
"We know all about this little party" my mother hisses, "don't worry, we'll be done by 5:50".
They both let out screeching laughter and begin their sadistic routine.
I slowly turn my head towards the clock as the belt comes down on my torn back. It's 6:10, why am I still here? I need to go.
Suddenly, the lashings stop and I lift up my head, someone's pounding on the front door. Who could it be? We never get visitors.
"Stay here filth!" My father throws the belt down and he and my mother go to the door.
Then I heard my phone go off.
Robyn: don't worry, we're here. Get dressed and get in the car.
How is this possible? It can't be! No wait, I can hear her voice!
"Hi Mr and Mrs Bow! I'm so sorry to disturb you but I remembered that I didn't tell Eren where I live so we decided to come and pick her up!" Robyn said in her usual tone.
I darted up and pulled on the first clothes that I got my hands on. Then I heard a voice that I didn't recognise
"Yes, my daughter can be quite silly at times but if your daughter can just get in our car then we will be on our way." The women said calmly and smoothly.
I opened my door and walked down the stairs. I still couldn't believe this was actually happening! I was being saved!
"There you are dear. Come on, get in the car and we can head off." Robyn's mum said in a friendly manner.
I climbed into the backseat and Robyn and her mum got into the front. Then we drove away without a word of goodbye to my "parents".
