I wake up to the sound of my parents yelling at each other something about Ben hating me and wanting me to die, This has been happening every day now, all is hear is "Casey should die why is she here blah blah blah you should have gotten a abortion". My mom Sara is a stripper takes drugs and cuts herself, my dad Ben also takes drugs and abuses my mom for "fun". I am a only child, I was a mistake Ben's condom broke, so my mom had me. I don't understand why she stays with him, Ben makes fun of me every day and hits me, my mom never stops him. So today I decided to run away... I pack my bags, I put everything I will need to survie out there all alone. Good thing I have been saving up money since I was a little girl so i have $678 in savings, thats all i have left my dad stole the rest. But I will have enough money for food. Today is my 16th birthday but of course, no one remebers. I sneak out from the back door and stand there awhile just thinking what am I going to do now..
I start walking to the bus stop because I am way to lazy to walk all the way downtown to my friends house her name is Elaina. Ii will be staying at her house, Well lets just hope she lets me stay with her. 10 minutes later the bus comes I go in pay and take my seat all the way in the back alone from everybody else. It takes about 30 minutes to get downtown but it felt like 2 minutes since i was thinking about my crush joey. I exit the bus and walk 1 mile to my friends house, she lives by herself shes 18. I walk up the steps and knock on the door. 1 minute later no answer 5 minutes later no answer..
I feel like crying but i stay strong and sit down on her porch, I will wait for her to come home. I check my phone its 12am I start to yawn when I see a car pull up in the driveway , I smile because I know its Elaina. I see her walking up to me tossing her long brown her behind her back, she looks at me and smile. I say "hey Elaina It's me Casey please let me stay with you i will explain once we get inside". She just nods unlocks the door and carrys my bags in for me. I tell her everything that has been going on with my mom and dad, she starts to cry and says " stay with me for as long as you want, you can sleep in the guest room", I walk up to the guest room to put my stuff away when i get a unknow call on my phone...
I wonder who would be calling this late? I answer "h-h-h-ello? who is this"? I hear a voice like my dads, he says "b*tch where are you come home before i beat the sh*t out of your mom, when I find you I am going to beat your A*S" I hear my mom in the back round crying. Dad I'm sorry please dont hurt mom, I will be home tomorrow moring. I hang up throw my phone across the room and start unpacking, i put all my clothes and stuff in the closet, I fix the room up so its a type of room i could live in. I cry myself to sleep that night thinking of a plan to go home get my mom and run away together. Maybe just maybe we can bring him to jail.. I wake up all sweaty and hot , i take a long shower do my hair go in the kitchen and find a note, its from Elaina she said shes at work wont be back for 3 days xoxo. Good that gives me more time to go back home without her knowing. I make myself some food , eat it then run to the bus stop. I get on pay and sit in the front this time, I am so worried about my mom I hope shes okay. I see my house up a head and when the bus stops I run all the way to my back door. I stop for awhile and stare inside my dad is sleeping on the floor wasted, my mom is cooking something. I sneak in go to my mom and pull her outside fast. She is so happy to see me she kisses me and hugs me 1000 times. I tell her that I'm fine and I am staying at my friends house. I tell her all about my plan about getting my dad in jail and she sounds happy with my idea for once. I'm so happy to hear my mom is not a stripper anymore and she stopped cutting herself and taking drugs...
I dial 911 on my cell phone, ring ring ring ring goes my phone, finally on the fourth ring they asnwer, "hello 911 emergency, what is your problem?" "Hello, please come to 8193 green street right away, my dad takes illegal drugs and abuses me and my mom, please help us." "we will be right there please stay in a safe place so he cant hurt you or your mother."Part 8. 5 minutes later we hear police sirens coming closer and closer, we see two cop cars pull up in our driveway. 3 cops run out with big guns in there hands. They don't even talk to us they just go in the house and point the guns at our drunk sleeping father, he wakes up and starts saying hes going beat Casey up thats all the cops need to hear, they handcuff him and drag him to the back of the police car. The three cops come up to us and notice us shaking and scared the one cop tells us dont worry we are going to have him locked up in jail for his whole life. I watch the cop cars pull away, I stare at them until I cant see them anymore.. I feel so much better, I go back to my friends house unlock the door and run up the stairs, I pack all my stuff that I unpacked last night. I'm really sad I have to leave but really happy because its just me and my mom now. Before I leave and lock the door I write a note saying, Hey Elaina, thank you so much for letting me stay with you for the night but I'm going to go back home now. Me and my mom got my dad in jail so we have nothing to worry about. xoxo -Casey. As I'm on the bus ride home it hits me, what if my dad escapes jail? He's really good at finding his way out of places even a jail cell. I suddenly get really cold. I run inside and yell at my mom saying we HAVE TO MOVE, dad might escape jail and kill us you know how good he is a finding his way out of places! My mom thinks I'm just being silly and is like hunny don't worry theres no way he can escape they have him locked up for good. I try to fight back but its no use, I can never win a fight with my mom. I walk up the stairs slowly thinking about what could happen if he escapes, we would be dead and would kill us the second he gets his hands on us. I slam my door shut, just to show to my mom how pissed I am at her. were going die and its all her flaut.
