Hi, my name is Anna, and I'm going to tell you a story about a girl named Lane. She loved her life her parents made good money, her brother got into college on a scholarship, and she got straight A's in school. But the thing she never told anybody was that she was abused her father would come home after a long night drunk and he would go to her room and yell and hit, and curse at her and her mother did nothing to stop it. Lane spent all of her nights scared that her father would come home and any time she went to school with bruises she would make an excuse for why she had them. One night her father came home drunk went to her room and started beating her over, and over, and over again till he stopped and went to bed. She sat in her room crying for hours on end and in the morning she just ignored her mother and father when they said I love you and have a great day at school because she knew that it all was a lie. They didn't love her they were just happy that she was leaving and they would get freedom from her and the things she did which were nothing. Then one day she was free her father and mother were arrested for abuse and she was sent to live her life with a better family that didn't hit her or curse at her they celebrated with her on all of her achievements and gave the best life she ever had.
