"Get in here now!" Yelled Ray, my kidnapped Father. "Yes I'm coming"

The look on his face scares me every time he calls my name, makes my heart stop every minute.

"Go to the store and get food...20 minutes late and you'll get a beating and you'll sleep in the basement!" "Yes father". So he gave me 40 dollars to buy groceries.

I'm walking down the street....not turning back knowing that he's looking behind me so I don't run away. It's been almost a year that he's trusting me to go out and do things for him. I have to hide my bruises so people don't get suspicious. Keep a smile on my face so I hide the tears. All of a sudden there is this boy staring at me. I turn my back and pretend that I didn't see him, the look on his face was like...he knew me, seen me before and it felt the same.

"Hi I'm Jake", "Hello" I replied while picking apples. "So do you go to Ridgeway High?" "No, I'm...homeschooled" I froze for a second thinking I was going to say Something stupid. "Homeschooled, sounds cool" said Jake.

"So do you have brothers or sisters?" Said Jake. "Look I don't know you....I got to go I'm going to be late" I ran as fast as I could. I looked at the time and I had 5 minutes left to be home.

I ran as fast as I could up the street, pushing people, running while cars are about to hit me like I just stole someone's purse, hoping no one won't follow me to see if I'm okay.

I just knew the second I got home, I was in for a beating.
