Amy's Pov

"Are you going to be okay?" Maggie asked me as we walked to the parking lot.

"No, but I'll live. Hopefully, she is too drunk to know I'm home."

"How much does she drink?"

"Too much, listen thank you for covering for me. It means a lot that you did that."

"You looked sad when we met up like you didn't want to leave."

"Have you ever had a place that made you feel safe?"

"My house!"

"That's how I felt there like my mom can't hurt me anymore. Now I have to leave that safe feeling for the feeling of pain. She still doesn't believe That Todd abused me."

"I am so sorry. Look, use me as a cover all you want. Everyone deserves to feel safe."

I gave her a hug then went on my way home. When I walked up to the pathway I smelt the booze, wonderful.

"Where the fuck have you been?" She asked as I walked into the door. She never locks it.

"I needed to think, so I went to friends. When I went to school I got 20 questions asking if I was touched inappropriately. I told him I was tired of him protecting his ass and not the students. So I ran out of school back to my friend's house. When I went back to school today I got 20 questioned again. I didn't run I answered the questions then went to class."

"You are just like your father, running from your issues then dealing with them."

"What problems does dad have?"

"A huge one, and instead of protecting his family he ran away to the other side of the fucking world."

"Why haven't you told me what happened? You keep telling me it's best that I don't remember."

"Because it's true, now get your ass upstairs and do your homework."

I rolled my eyes and rushed up the steps, I grabbed my phone cord then went to get my phone. As I reached for it I stopped.

"What the?"

I looked at my phone in a bunch of pieces.

"Run away from home again, and it will be more than your phone." Mom said in my doorway, I turned around looking at her and she started to laugh.

"I paid for that! You just broke my property!"

"Go ahead, call someone who cares, no one does." She walked down the steps.

I slammed my door shut then Locked the door.

I packed a bag of clothes and a few items I have then shoved the bag under my bed. I changed out of my uniform into sweats. They are not as comfy as Mark's.

"Pain in the ass! I am going out, if you leave I will find out."

I looked out of the window and saw her getting into a car. I rushed down the steps to the house phone, I remembered Mark's number from the caller ID.

"Who is this?" He picked up on the third ring.

"It's Amy, my mom broke my cell phone which I didn't think was possible and she threatened me that if I leave she will hurt me."

"Where is she?" He sounded worried.

"She went out."

"Are you okay?"

"I want to leave, I can't stay here." I held the tears in.

"Do you have a bag packed?"

"Yes, all my school work as well."
