I swiftly jump from the open window, air whistling past me as I land on the ground with what I think is elegance, but in reality I probably look like an overweight elephant. I lie on the grass, just looking up at the glistening stars in the sky, and crane my neck to bring the cheerful non luminous moon into my range of vision. I then think of all the nauseating, unpleasant bugs that must be scuttling around in the grass and I jump to my feet quickly. I start walking down the street, looking at the un-kept lawns and the weeds that almost come up to my knees. I used to mow those lawns, for the ‘delightful elderly’ that use to live down our street. But I also used to be a straight A student, and a goody-two-shoes and a charming princess. Little do my parents-if you can call them parents- know that that little princess is long gone. I have been doing this for months now, fleeing out my bedroom window, onto the lawn and to the skate park.  A month ago, my boyfriend would have been meeting me here, but on my birthday, he left the country with his family and has never returned. I reach the skate park, and I dangle my legs over the edge of one of the holes in the ground…..? I don’t know what to call it. I hear a crunch from one of the bushes in front of me, but I brush it off, we have a lot of birds around here. I sit there for a while, and then push to my feet. As soon as I turn around and lift my head, I get flung to the ground. “Ouch….” I groan, just before hands grab me and start dragging me out of the park. “Let me go asshole!” I kick and I punch blindly, hitting only about twice.

“Stop it you stupid bitch.” 

“Who are you? What are you doing?” I struggle a bit more, but his grip is too strong and there is no point.

“Don’t worry my charming little princess, I’m gonna take good care of you.” Then something collides with the right side of my head, and everything goes black.
