"stop...please...i beg you" i yelled as my old man hit me once more. "I wont stop until you learn your lesson". I quickly got up and ran away before he hit me again. " thats it you little bastard ruN away and dont come back" i heard him yell. At least he wasnt running after me. I ran to the lot hoping noone else was there , wich there probably wasnt because it was 3:00 a.m. My arms were heavily bruised and blood was streaming down the side of my head.
I walked towards what looked like a body. But it wasn't moving do i thought the person might be dead. I got scared. Then the body woke up. Oh, it was only sleeping. I walked towards the body and stood in front of it. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw me he flicked out a switch blade. I kinda jumped."oh sorry, thought you were a Soc." he said. The boy looked young . He had black hair, dark brown eyes, almost black and tan skin, he was wearing a jean jacket and the same converse as i was( black ,ankle high) "hey, nice shoes" i commented. He looked at his shoes then at mine and chuckled. I rubbed my arms with my hands. " you cold?" He asked . " a little " i responded. He patted the spot next to him on the worn down couch for me to sit down. Then he took off one of his jacket sleeves so that i would keep warm by ... well... snuggling with him. Thats just what i did.
" so why ya here?" He asked. "My old man beat me up" i said sadly. " mine too" he said. He noticed i was bleeding and said" come with me, i have some friends who might be able to help out" . Then he grabbed my hand and we interwind our fingers. he guided me to a small worn down house and pulled me up the small steps and onto the front porch. And then he knocked.
