Hidden

Prologue

As much as I try to be hidden in this world something always changes. I don't want to be in the spotlight. The feeling of being caught and people noticing things scares me. The bruises are all over my arms and legs.

I walk up to the front of the class hiding in my long hair. My anxiety building up until I end up in front of the white board. I turn around slowly and with shaky hands and legs I start my speech. I couldn't keep still. I kept stuttering, people were complaining that I was to quiet. I stopped mid-sentence when the teacher holds my arm and I look up only to see her looking very concerned. "Go to the front office, I can see your not feeling well enough, it looks like your going to be sick I can evaluate you by yourself tomorrow."

I dont want to go home its not safe there, I probably would be safer on Mars with no oxygen. "Miss we will need to call your dad." If the office lady had any idea what he was like I'm pretty sure she wont even dare to wake him up. As she was about to start talking, I could hear from over the desk that he was screaming at her for waking him up. She just looked at me in complete shock when she got off the phone with him, she told me to wait outside. "Im guessing he will bring over the limo" I ask, knowing my dad too well. This was typical of him. I guess being rich is something to drink and take drugs over.

I just want to find my mum already.

As I get into the limo that my dad sent to me, I get out my phone and start calling the private investigator. "Hey Caroline, have you found anything on her." This is the third week I hired the private investigator. "No I havent found anything that will help you much, the only thing I know is that she isn't far from where you live because I havent seen her use public transportation." I already knew that information but either way I guess Caroline is trying her best to find the mother that ran away from that piece of crap I call a father.

I get out of the limo and walk up to the mansion that only me and my dad live in. I really dont know why we need such a big mansion. Its not like we have a lot of people in our family. It used to be only me, my mum and my dad. Last year though, my mum decided to leave everything behind including me. I had to deal with my dad when she left. That was the worst day of my life. Her leaving showed the true monster my dad was all this time. It makes sense why my mum left, I guess I wasnt the only one being verbally abused and sometimes even physically abused. But these days he doesnt even give you a warning that hes mad, he just comes in my room, and after he is finished, Im left on the floor, most of the time, contemplating if I should go to the hospital or run away to another country.

I carefully walk in through the doors, to see him again sleeping with more alcohol bottles around him, more than this morning. I quietly tip toe to the marble stairs and go up to my room. I cant live like this anymore I need to get out of here before he wakes up or he will kill me.
The suitcases that have all of my clothes in them are ready, I need to just pick one of them and quickly escape. I pick one big enough to put all my toiletries and go into my bathroom to get all the appliances I will need. "AURORA, I KNOW YOURE HERE ALREADY, I NEED TO SEE YOU!" I quickly go put them into my backpack with all my school things. Should I sleep in the school, under the gym bleaches? I don't know where Im going, I just know I need to get out of here before he finds me.

I get my things and open my window. I push all my things out the window and they all fall out in the front yard. I can see the uber I called, as I was packing my clothes, outside the gates. As I stepped out of my room and onto the roof of the three-story mansion, my father drunkenly walks into my room and sees me trying to escape. "OH NO YOU DON'T" he screams out before he comes running at me, thats when I start walking faster on the roof trying to get away from my room. As my father steps out of the window he trips and falls. Hopefully this is the last time I will see him.
