Maya's pov

I couldn't do this anymore. I wouldn't do this anymore. My life was a complete mess and you'd have to be blind not to see that. Not to mention I'm moving in three days to a place I've never seen or been before. For all I know, we could be moving to the most isolated island in Australia. I've never wanted to escape before. All my life I've actually had hope. I had hope that one day all the beatings would stop and my mom would be an actual mom. Not anymore. All the hope I had was gone. All I wanted to do was pack up and leave. But I knew I had to bring Logan. I couldn't just leave him here with that beast, because sooner or later I knew she'd start beating him up too. I started pacing back and forth.

"What to do?" I muttered quietly to myself. "What to do!" I sat down on my desk and made a list of what I would need to actually escape.

1) Food

2) Water

3) Money

4) Clothes

I groaned in frustration. This is not off to a good start. Wait, Maybe I could get my mom's money. I raced to her bedroom and went inside her closet. I looked behind her clothes and find the safe. I quickly punched in the numbers and it opened.

Flashback

Tears ran down my face.

"M-Mom, please don't do this..." I stuttered. My mom started laugh. She slapped her knees and slumped against the wall laughing. I stared at her not understanding what was going on.

"Oh my god!" My mom laughed. "I'm so drunk!" I started to stand up, slowly. Might as well escape when I can.

"Maya." I squeezed mt eyes shut, hoping she wouldn't hit me again, then turned around.

"Y-Yeah?" I asked quietly.

"Go and get me the bottle of Everclear in the safe yeah?"

"Um, sure. W-What's the pass code?" I asked in a shaky voice. Mom started laughing again.

"I-I don't know! Um is it 1234?" She started laughing yet again. "Of course not, it's 0814" My eyes widened.

"T-That's my birthday..." I trailed off. She nods and give me a lazy smile.

"Of course, you're my baby girl."

End of Flashback

I took a shaky breath. I remember that day as if it happened yesterday. Oh how I wish I could go back in time and fix all of this... I shook my head and reach behind the bottles and drugs and find an envelope. I took it out and opened it, finding 10,000 dollars. And she said she needed money. That bitch. I closed the safe and quickly walked out of her room and into mine. I grabbed a duffel bag packing one outfit and an extra pair of sneakers. I got a small make-up bag just in case. After that I rushed into Logan's room and packed the same for him. One outfit and an extra pair of sneakers. I quickly tidied up the house and leave some aspirin and a cup of water on the table. I went into Logan's room and I saw him siting on the floor playing with his dinosaurs and action figures. A small smile appeared on my face. I wish I could just freeze this moment and never have to ever feel pain again. I sighed to myself, knowing that was impossible.

"Hey Bud." I called. He looked up at me and grined.

"Hi Maya! Wanna play with me? I have T-Rex if you want him."
