I wake up cold, and I feel stiff.My head hurts. I can hear my dad snoring through my walls. It's about noon which means he will be leaving to drive his truck, for the company prime. He would leave at three. I memorized his schedule , so I knew when I could get out of the house . I dare not leave while he Is here. He caught me once and he beat me. It is in the top ten beatings I've ever had. I got up quietly and went into the small trailers bathroom and looked in the mirror. I just stared at myself. This is me,I thought. I look at my blood stained blonde hair. It's shoulder length and tends to curl. I look at my tanned complextion. I never thought I looked like an Isabella. I wince as I touch my forehead. It's deep but I don't think it needs stitches. As for the bruises they have gotten blacker. It's summer time in Arizona so I'm not worried about others seeing it. I'm a junior this year. I'm 16. Ever since I can remember my parents have disliked me and I wasn't fond of them either. They always shot me down on my ideas. Never cared weather I passed or failed. I would always tell them about my dream of becoming a singer as a child. They laughed and said I would never make it. I needed to be pretty for that and I needed to be able to sing. I Snapped out of my memory when I heard my dad stirring. I ran to my room and jumped in the bed and pretended to be asleep. I listened to the sound of him moving around and heard him as he walked past my room.I listened as his diesel start and leave. I felt immediate relief. Looks like I'm going to Toni's today. My mom is at her drug dealers so she won't be here till midnight. So I get dressed and leave the place I hate most.
