I wake up by my mum screaming at the phone. I slowly open my eyes, the first thing I see is my cat lying next to me. I slowly get up and walk to the living room to see whats mum up to.

I walk toward her and then she hangs the phone up...

 (mum) good morning sweetheart, you're not going to school today. she says with a smile but I could see her face turning bright red.   (Olivia) mum is everything okay.

 (mum) yeah, why wouldn't it be baby? (Olivia) mum are you sure you are acting really weird just tell me what's wrong why I can't go to school. she looks deep into my eyes and takes a deep breath and looks away saying don't ask so many questions and walks off to the bathroom looking suspicious.

I go to my room and grab my phone so many messages from my best friend eva, asking if I was okay and if I was coming. I didn't know what to say so I just said I was sick. and when she asked why I didn't know what to say so I didn't answer her.

Then my mum opens the door with an angry face and says. (mum) pack your things NOW!! (Olivia) mum why what's up with you today?? you're acting weird. she says nothing but looks down (mum) he's back.. Then when she says that I know what she meant, she meant my dad coming back from jail and you may not understand why we are acting the way we are so here's what I can tell you..

My dad was a great dad brought me everything I wanted, the problem was he was in a gang and the people in the gang were going to kill me when I was born because I was a girl and they wanted a boy. so then if my dad and mum had a boy he would be the leader just like my dad. They said that it makes them look bad having a girl as a leader so if they killed me no one would have known that the gang leader had a girl. so my dad tried to kill me and my mum didn't let it, she called the police on him but she didn't say anything about trying to kill me she made up a story so that he didn't get in trouble. because my mum loved my dad and this was the story she made.

My husband and I are having problems and he became abusive and I didn't know what to do so I called yous to please take him away..

yeah so that's the story my family and I are just a big mess, and you may wonder why we are scared of him it is because first of all he tried to kill me and when my mum visited him he said that he couldn't even look at her face and he said to wait until I come out of here..

(mum) hello, no time for thinking hurry up. (Olivia) wait but who were you talking to before when you were mad? (mum) the stupid lawyer I was so mad at him sorry sweetheart I didn't want to tell you to upset you and we didn't know he was getting out until the lawyer called me back and said he's coming tomorrow. *sights*

(mum) so get ready we are going somewhere else well not us YOU! (Olivia) WHAT SO YOUR NOT COMING WITH ME? mum looks away trying not to make eye contact and puts my hair behind my ear. (mum) look, baby, you won't be alone your aunty and this boy your age will come to collect you. all you have to do is take the plane from here NYC *new york city* to Mexico and meet them there okay baby. 

I didn't say anything (mum) listen you're always my baby girl and you will always be my baby girl and I want to protect you I want you to be safe.

I look at her at.. and say (Olivia)but what if you're not protected.... 

she doesn't say anything she starts packing my things...

later we go to the airport we didn't even say a word to each other until when the plane was about to take off she gave me a hug and tears rolled down her face (mum) promise me you will call me I love you, baby. she was crying even more.. 

I turned around and started walking hoping she would say stop, it was getting closer and closer I turned and she wasn't there..

I sat in the plane think about my mum, my dad, the new life, the boy mum was talking about, my best friend which I didn't tell I was leaving, my old school and how thing will turn out...
