I woke up to an annoying buzzing coming from my phone, I grabbed it and looked to see that my brother was calling me. I answer and say "Hello?" "Hey Madds are you almost ready?" And that's when I realized what day it was, I was finally getting out of this hell hole and moving in with my brother and his roommates. "Omg I totally forgot, yeah I'm all packed I just need to go to the airport" "well you better hurry because your flight leaves in 3 hours" I looked at the time and realized I slept in " ok I'll talk to you in a bit!" " see you soon sis" and with that I hung up and started to get ready, it was cold here so I got into something warm and comfortable since I was going to be on a plane for a while

I walked out of my room with my backpack that I take everywhere and my small carry on suitcase. I didn't have much so all my stuff fit into one suitcase. I was trying to be quiet so I didn't wake up my dad, he didn't know I was moving and I wanted to keep it that way. I peeked around the corner to see him asleep on the sofa with a beer in his hand. Perfect. I quickly made my way to the door but hit my foot on the table in the process. He woke up and looked at me " what the hell do you think your doing"
(Trigger warning)
I fiddled with the door knob trying to get it open but it was too late, he had slapped me across the face and now I had a small gash on my cheek because of his ring. I dare not cry for he would do it again and again, so I stood my ground and said " I'm leaving and you can't stop me" he came only inches from my face and said "I never wanted you anyway" and with that, I ran out the door and thought 'how am I going to explain this to Corey' he looked up to our dad so much, he wanted to be just like him. If I told him what dad has done to me it would break him.

I grabbed my iPhone 5 and started to call a taxi because there was no such thing as Uber in Canada, at least not yet. As the cab pulled up I told him to go to the airport. When we arrived I payed the man and got out, as I walked to the check in I started to get nervous, what if nobody liked me? What if I didn't like them? I was snapped out of my thoughts when the women gave me my ticket, I thanked her but before I could go she said
" Oh and happy birthday by the way" I said thank you and left, yep it's my birthday, the worst day of the year. I hated my birthday so much, the reason you ask? Well I guess I've never had a good birthday, it's either my dad is beating me or I'm crying in my room.

I got through security and was making my way to the gate when I started to get hungry, I looked and saw I had at least an hour till my plane boarded so I went and got some subway for the plane ride. As soon as I got to the gate they started to call people on so I lined up and once again the flight attendant said "happy birthday!" I faked smiled at her and boarded the plane. I took my seat in the back and stared out the window and soon falling asleep to the hum of the engine.
