Running. Here I am in Los Angeles, California. I dont know how I got here except that I ran as fast as I could. To get away from them.
Hi! My name is Stephanie White. I am 20 years old. Right now it is raining and I am running through the streets of LA. Great. I am running because of my dad and boyfriend. My boyfriend, Kyle is abusive. A complete douche. My dad is also abusive. My mom passed when I was 14.
-Earlier that day-
"Dad. Please leave me alone."
He slaps me and slams me against the wall. He pulls out a knife and holds it to my throat.
"Stop." I choke out.
He lets up and I escape. I run and listen to "I Wanna Run" By The Downtown Fiction.
I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out
I just wanna run
I just wanna run
I'm out here all alone
I try to call your house
Can't reach you on the phone
I'll gather up the nerve
I'm packing up my bag
It's more than you deserve
Don't treat me like a drag
I'm feelin' like I keep on talking
I'm repeating myself
My words lost all meaning
I keep talking, I repeat myself
I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out
I just wanna run, I just wanna run
Like a game of chess
I predict your move
I think I know you better
Better than you do
I'm sick of feeling cheap
Cheated and abused
Sick of losing sleep
Thinking about you
I'm feelin' like I keep on talking
I'm repeating myself
My words lost all meaning
I keep talking, I repeat myself
I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out
I just wanna run, I just wanna run
I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out, out
I just wanna run
I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out
I just wanna run, I just wanna run
I just wanna run
