Runaway

Chapter 1: My Life

"You're worthless." He said as he raised his right hand and it made contact with my face.

I let out a desperate sob. My dad is alcoholic and when he drunk which is always, he abuses me. My mom doesn't care, she's too busy working or just straight ignoring me.

"Go get me another beer." My dad said.

I got up and went to the fridge as my mom just stared at me with a look of disgust and hatred. She says I ruined her and my dad's lives. But that's her fault if she wouldn't have spread her legs, I wouldn't have been here, which is fine with me.

Yeah, my mom's a slut. A huge one. She still sleeps with men, even though she's married.

I grabbed the beer and walked to my dad and handed it to him.

He snatched it from me. "Go to your room, I don't want to look at you."

I walked to my room and laid on my bed.

I hate my life. My family, my friends, teachers, everyone treats me like crap.

I started to cry, realizing that if I don't leave this place soon, I'm gonna leave this world soon.

The bad part is that I have to wait until I'm 18 to move.

I started to drift off, my eyelids getting heavier and heavier until, finally, I was in the only peaceful place I can be, my dreams.

Sadly, I woke up, about to start my day of hell.

It was 6:30.

Crap. I'm gonna be late.

I got dressed, did my hair, took a shower, ate breakfast, and brushed my teeth... but not in that order.

I went outside and started my 15 minute walk to school.

Once I got there, I was greeted by Lauren and Ashley.

"What happened to your face?!" Lauren exclaimed.

"Did someone throw a rock at you?!" Ashley asked.

The bell rang, signaling us to get to class.

Once I walked in the teachers were staring at me, knowing exactly what happened.

How do they know you ask?

They're teachers, they're not stupid. They put two and two together. My parents don't show up to PTA meetings, we have cameras everywhere I this school so it couldn't have been a student. Do I need to say more?

I even saw Mrs. Glass whisper something while staring at me to Mr. Roves. Obviously it was about me, I feel the love.

It was lunch and I told Lauren and Ashley everything about my mom and dad.

"Oh, my God, Malia! Why did you never tell us?!" Ashley cried.

"We could've helped you or something." Lauren said as her eyes watered. "I feel like a terrible friend."

"Me too." Ashley said.

"Awe, don't feel bad, I'll get through it. Two more years and I'm gone!" I said.

The bell rang for what felt the thousandth time today. I got up and threw away the rest of my lunch.

----//----//----

School was over. Finally! I ran outside to say bye to Ashley and Lauren.

But, when I walked outside, everyone and I mean everyone was staring at me.

"Awe, Malia, I think daddy hit you too hard." Jenna mockingly said. Jenna is the most meanest person you'll ever meet. We've been at each other's throats sincere middle school.

"What?" I replied.

"Why didn't your mommy help you? Oh, right! She hates you too!" She said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked, but I already knew the answer.

"What? Are you gonna cry to your mommy? You know the one who wishes you were never born?" Jenna kept on saying stuff but I wasn't listening.

How did she know? I never told her. I did tell Lauren and Ashley but they couldn't have told everyone. Could they?

I started to run trying to find them. I swear to God if they told everyone this I will cut they're throats open.

I finally found them sitting on a bench.

"Did you tell them?" I asked.

"What? Tell who?" Lauren asked.

"Did you tell everybody about me and my mom and my dad?" I asked.

"No! Of course not!" Ashley exclaimed.

"You're lying." I said. When Ashley lies, she blinks a lot of times. "What the hell is wrong with you?! I thought you were my friends- my best friends I hate you guys! What have I ever done to you guys to deserve what you did to me?!"

"Oh, calm down, Ma-"

"Don't tell me to freaking calm down!!" I was screaming by now. "You freaking betrayed me! I thought I can tell you guys everything!"

"Ashley? Did you do this?" Lauren asked, shocked.

"So what if I did?" Ashley said.

"Why would you do that?" Apparently Lauren did nothing. Whatever, I always liked Lauren better anyways.

"What did I do? No, it what you did!" Ashley said pointing at me.

"Me?! What have I done?" I asked.

"Eighth grade. You kissed my boyfriend!" Ashley exclaimed.

"What the hell?! This is way more worse than just a kiss with your stupid ex-boyfriend!" Lauren said defending me.

"He came on to me! I told you this!" I exclaimed.

"Still! You kissed him!" She said. "He was my boyfriend!"

"Yeah, well I'm sorry I'm just prettier than you!" I said.

She was shocked, she sat there just saying at me,"I hate you." She said.

"The feelings mutual, cold hearted asshole." I replied.

I turned and walked home.
