===============================

         Phe spent the rest of the weekend with her friends laughing, watching movies and so much more! They hadn't been to happy in months. Then it all had to come crashing down. It was time to go home. It felt like it had ended as quick as it had started an Phe was scared to go home. They were terrified of the mosters that lived in that dreaded house. Ina saw the hesitation in Phe's steps as they were about to walk out the door. Ina spoke softly, " You know you can stay here if you want." Her voice was so gentle and calming Phe could wanted desperately to stay but knew that their mother would come looking for them. So instead of excepting the offer Phe calmly shook their head no and gave a simple smile before saying goodbye and headed back to their house. Phenyx refused to call it a home. Just as they refused to call their mother mom. She was not a mother and that was not a home. The only home Phe had was with Ina. Ina was their rock, their home, their best friend, and secretly Phe's crush. Ina was everything to them.

      Phenyx slowly aproached their house and silently walked in. They looked aroumd in say no one. They quietly let out the breath that was caught in their throat. They slowly tip toed to their room which consisted of a bed with one pillow and blacket, a night stand and a closet. All that was in the closet was a red jacket with a Phoenix on it, one short and one pair of black jeans. Phe had very little because of how much thwir mother hate them. Phe unpacked their back of 1 stuffed bear. It was the bear that was given to them by their father before he left. The clothes on their back amd the things in their room were Phe's only possessions. They only reason they had a phone was bacause Ina mother gave one to them for their birthday last year.

        Just as Phone had put away bag their mother barged in and pushed them to the ground. Phe looked up at their mother and sure enough she was holding a bottle of whiskey. She quickly chugged it down and pulled Phe up by the collar of their shirt. " Oh look the pest is back." She spat. The smell of liquor was strong in the womans mouth and Phe had to resist the urge to plug their nose. She put Phe down and hit them over the head with the bottle of whiskey. Instantly Pje felt the blood and crushing migraine surge through their head. "Why did you have to be born. I could have been happy." She slurred. "Why don't you just die. Your demons would be released and I'd have one less kid to worry about." The words stung but Phenyx showed no emotion. That woman didn't deserve to see their tears. She took one last swing at Phe. Janice's fist hit Phe right in the eye. Phe knew it would leave a bruise but it wasn't the first time it had happened. Phe had so many scars and bruises that that is almost all you could see on their body. Janice stumbled her way out of Phe's room and immediately Phe stood up and packed everything they had went to leave. They were done being abused. They ran as fast as they could to Ina's house falling once along the way but that didn't matter to them. What mattered was getting away. With a tear stained face Phe rung the doorbell and was met my Ina's mother Chistine. She quickly opened the door more for Phenyx to step inside. Ina and her father were on the couch when they heard Phe enter. Phe sat on the armchair diagonal from the couch and asked if Chistine would sit down. She gladly did so. With a shaky breath Phe asked, " Could I live with you." They were all aware of the life they had with their mother and quickly and happy said yes!

Finally Phenyx was free.
