Lose yourself- an Eminem fanfic

Prologue

My hands are shaking.

I try to pull my hoodie closer to my body as I start walking faster down the street near my parents apartment. Tears start to well down my cheeks as I wipe them away from my face. "Why did this happen to me." I mumbled to myself.
I was sitting at home trying to rummage though the fridge to see if there was something edible. My stomach growled since I hadn't eaten anything since lunch yesterday. My family didn't have enough money to really live comfortably, so we had to make due.
As I was still looking, my dad barged in, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood. I quickly closed the fridge door and tried to get up to my room as fast as possible, but I knew it was futile. My dad spotted at me. "What do you think you're doing Casey?" He growled lowly at me.
"I.. was just about to go to my room?" He glared at me as I flinched back slightly. I always hated when he was like this, I missed the way my dad used to be, when we were all happy. Once he lost his high up position in a business, he's been getting in a worse of a mood. "Why do you lie?!" He questioned harshly. "I'm not!" I felt scared because I knew it would become nasty soon. My dad started to yell at me about not lying, but I quickly tuned it out and ran out of the front door. I couldn't take it anymore, I wanted to my life to be more peaceful.
I blinked the flashback away, realizing that I had gotten myself lost. I sighed as I kept walking, worried that something else would happen. I walked around until I found a coffee shop, where I asked one of the workers about apartments I could rent. I managed to find an apartment with good rent which I could easily pay for.
After going through everything, I finally got into the apartment and flopped down on the couch. Already tired from the events that had just transpired, I scrolled through my phone until I fell asleep.

         After a week or two I managed to get a letter of acceptance for a college that I had applied for that I really wanted to get in to. I'm so happy to finally be able to get on my feet by myself for the first time and not have to worry about my parents breathing over my back.
